This back pack is very good. Well made, sturdy for carrying all the weight. The two items missing that keep this from being a 5 star review are: no waist strap, With all this wieght in the pack this would help alot. 2nd is no rain flaps on the zippers. I am in Seattle and I am concerned over rain getting into the bag on the long daily commute.
17.5 inch laptop (10lbs) 4lb power brick. plus lunch, note book, paper work, coffee thermos, Oracle manual, Reading book. Yep, alot fits in this while staying compact.

After trying out numerous notebook backpacks, this one was the only one that could comfortably hold my 15.4" notebook. It's very rugged, with heavy duty straps and a cable-reinforced top handle. It's absolutely cavernous inside, with enough room to easily hold my laptop, mp3 player, various ac adapters, usb dongles, a book, an umbrella, a poncho, sunglasses, etc. and I've still got lots of empty space.
The only major issue I've had with it so far is with the much touted stand-up base. The bottom of the backpack is definitely sturdy and reinforced, but there is no reinforcement or bracing toward the lower section of the front pockets, causing the entire backpack to fold forward onto the base when set on the floor. This was a pain until I just stuck a hardcover book in one of the front-most pockets to keep it from being able to bend. Otherwise, I'm super-happy with this purchase.
If you don't mind putting something rigid and inflexible in one of the front pocket to keep the backpack

There are two problems I have had with notebook backpacks in the past. Number one was, that they say to be 17 inch compatible, but they actually do not fit larger than average 17 inch notebooks. Rest assured that this backpack will even fit the largest 17 inch laptops. I can fit the Dell XPS into it with no problems. The zipper line does not lie tensely over the corners of the notebook and does not create scratches.
Number two is the quality of the zippers. The zippers have to run smoothly, easily, and not come apart, split open, get stuck, or display other annoying dysfunctions. The zippers on this pack are of very good quality.
There is tons of auxiliary storage space. If I had a say in it, the shoulder straps could have a little more padding, but since it fits my large notebook, I will not deduct any stars this time.
