Lightweight school backpack

[tentala]

I'm looking for a lightweight (<= 1.5 lbs) school backpack that has at least 3 big compartments. I need to carry my laptop, books, notes, exams (I'm both studying and teaching).
- High quality backpacks are preferred, but weight and the number of compartments are more important. Lighter is better.
- I plan to buy before school starts again in August.

Thank you.

Last i was in school, I remember carrying my trusty old JanSport to class

So back from memory lane, I found North Face bags to be a bit heavy, my Case Logic fell apart rather quickly but my Targus has held up well.

I looked at Swissgear. They are well made, but too heavy. It seems that Jansport has the lightest backpacks.

Do you know it's weight? Thanks.

It's too heavy. A 4-lb backpack is about the weight of my laptop.

This is what I have for now...
Weight: 2 lbs 3 oz. Feels great so far

Thank you. I found it's weird that people don't care about the weight of their own bag while complaining about their back pain. I hardly find any website selling bags that has a filter for weight, making it much harder to find a desired bag.

REI just came out with some lightpacking bags. I don't have time to look it up but you can check their website. I looked at them in their store and they are barebones but might fit your requirements.
