The backpack does not have as many pockets as I thought it would, though the one large pocket which holds the computer is also large enough to hold two 2 and 1/2 inch binders! The backpack is well cushioned and looks nice. The two front pockets are very spacious with lots of pockets. I love the mesh pockets on either side. They are great for water bottles, handcream, cellphone, among other things. I would definitely recommend this backpack to anybody who wants to carry a laptop to school or anywhere. It is stylish and practical. My only complaint was the "Microsoft" emblem. As a Mac user, I found the need to get rid of it somehow, but it came off easily since it was only sewn on!!
