G4Free 40L Rucksack Foldable Hiking Backpack Ultra Lightweight Camping Daypack

Q: can it fit my laptop too?

I can fit my 16.6x11 inch laptop into it vertically, with space front and back for a few other items. My hp laptop is big and heavy. I worry about making the backpack too heavy, but haven't had a problem so far. I am disabled, use poles to help me keep my balance & walk, and do not drive, so I take the bus and/or walk so I use my backpack daily. Answers above re padding sound wise--hadn't thought of that issue. I do have a tablet with a protective case that would be more appropriate for "of base" use.

Q: What are the dimensions of the little bag? The backpack when it's folded?

6' wide by 5" tall by "as flat as you can get it" (1 1/2"). You can get it to 3 x 3 if you have it compressed. Best little traveling backpack!!

Q: can the water bottle holder hold a 32 oz nalgene?

Yes, I just tested it with my husband's 32 oz nalgene bottle and it fit just fine.

Q: How much weight will this hold, example high school/college books?

To be honest, I just don’t think the fabric is designed to be weight-bearing. I think heavy items like books will destroy it quickly and then you may be disappointed with its performance. The bag holds a decent amount of volume, but I think it’s more intended for lightweight items (clothing, water container, keys, wallet, maps, etc)
