I bought this backpack to use for work, rather than college.  A lot of the reviews were more college student oriented.

I love this backpack.  It holds my laptop from work and my ipad without problems.  There's plenty of room and additional pockets to hold my stuff.  I use it for work and play.  On weekends, it holds my ipad and my full size digital nikon camera with room for a clothes, snacks, pens, water bottle, etc.

It has padding on the back and fits nicely when wearing.
