[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Look, this is an inexpensive backpack, and it shows. The materials aren't strictly speaking bad, but the backpack has a certain...loose-ness(?) that I feel like I associate with cheaper quality. I would worry about how much weight you put in this bag. It should be able to hold a laptop and maybe a full 3-inch binder, but if you push the volume capacity or weight too much, I doubt it would last more than a year.
Now, outside of build quality, I'm not a super big fan of the pocket layout. The laptop pouch is really large, like it could hold a pair of thick laptops in it no trouble, but I want my laptop to be fit in its home a little tighter than that.
The pockets on the opposite side are obnoxiously strange dimensions. The center one I think is supposed to be the 'pen' pocket, but it can hold 2-3 depending on the size, but it, along with the other two pockets are obnoxiously deep, especially for me with my larger hands. Things I want to put in them become relatively inaccessible because they end up in the bottom of a pit, so to say.
The front zippered section is okay. I put my charger in the pocket in there, and I can slide a small chapter book in there pretty comfortably. Ideally the entrance to this pocket would be even another half-inch larger so I could easily fit a standard sheet of paper (or even a folder) inside with ease.
As a student, I find the lack of a water bottle pouch to be a real frustration, and I'm just carrying it in my hand until I get around to fabricating a way to stow the bottle without risking it leaking onto all of my papers, electronics, etc.
In the end, this bag is extremally cheap, and I wasn't asking for much from it, but there are a few things that I think could be changed to make it far more useful as a backpack that wouldn't increase the cost substantially.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While the quality and size are great, there aren't a lot of pockets and sections. The outside fabric was a bit rougher than I expected but hasn't been an issue.
