Case LogicVNB-217BLACK Value 17-Inch Laptop Backpack (Black)

Yes, it fits the largest 17.3" laptops!I've had this backpack for over a couple of weeks now and I love it. I like the sleek, non-bulky profile, it's about as professonal looking pack you're going to find, and the gray strip isn't as light or stand out as much as the pictures make it look like.SIZE: I labored over whether to get this one or the 17" V7 Professional Laptop Bag for around the same price because the dimensions on that pack read slightly bigger (depending on which source you're getting the dimensions from) and I was concerned my Dell 17R (n7110) 17.3" laptop might not fit since the dimensions of the computer are slightly larger than what the literature says will fit in the padded laptop compartment, but it fits perfectly and even has about an inch to spare on top. A relative has the HP G71 17.3" and that fits perfectly too, so I wouldn't worry about whether your particular 17" will be too big for it.COMPARTMENTS:I recently started tutoring college students and found myself carting my 17" laptop everywhere, so when I bought a new one a few weeks ago to replace my aging one, I decided I really needed a pack for it and it has a surprising amount of room. It has 4 compartments. One specifically padded for the computer; one behind that for files, a couple of books or whatever. (I can fit 14" legal pads in there no problem along with a text book that I might be using to teach one of my students); the 3rd outer compartment is for wires, chargers, etc. , and then there I is one small wallet/cell phone size compartment on the very outside.QUALITY: The pack seems to be very well made including the zippers. They are not as heavy duty as you're going to see on good luggage, but they are perfect for this pack. I've had cheap zippers on packs that have broken, but these are of much better quality than those. The loop handle on top also seems plenty sturdy and well sewn, and I have no fear of picking the pack up this way. And I don't know how to explain it, but it makes the computer feel light when you're carrying it and is very comfortable. The padding between your back and the pack is especially good. Is the rest of the padding made so you can really bang it around with the computer inside? No. Someone complained that they were worried it didn't have enough padding if they dropped their pack or when it fell off a table. Seriously? If you're that rough on a laptop, then you need a big padded suitcase for it. Ha! Is it fine if you bump it against things? Yes. This morning I tried to fit my travel coffee mug into the mesh compartment and it was a tight fit, but it fit.CONS: If I had any small complaint, it's that this outer compartment isn't set up to organize things as much as I expected from the pictures. It's basically just another rather large compartment (which is nice), but has only three small compartments up pretty high that are about 4" deep, and that's it for organizational slots. They are fine for a pair of glasses, a couple of pens, etc. but nothing more.All in all, great pack and perfect for my needs. I think it's a steal for the price and quality. I can't see how this pack won't last for years.

I am a student who uses backpack everyday for school. I bought a 17-inch laptop 4 months ago, and I have a some back pain issue, so needed a backpack that is not the heavy 4 pound swissgear, but still strong enough to hold my 17inch laptop. This fit the bill and was also not expensive, and I was amazed by the reviews. But I was still not sure if it can hold, if its as light as what the reviewers had noted. But i went ahead and bought,and after 4 months I am still surprised at how well this bag takes all the beating.It has a well padded cushion for the laptop on all sides, and I mean all sides!! including the corners near the zippers!! And the protection seems to be more than good enough for any presumably heavy 17 inch laptop - I have hit the sides on tables and walls a couple of times unintentionally and haven't heard too much of pop sound, and my laptop is still good. The material is thin but yet strong and the stitches hold them up pretty tight too. It does not have too many fancy pouches like the others, but has a front pouch like compartment which has enough space and has 6-7 smaller pouches for your external hard disk, pen drives, pens and lotsa other personal electronic and personal accessories.It has a small external pouch for say carrying a small bottle of water too. It also has another compartment in the middle between this and the laptop compartment, that has enough space to lug even my bulky 3-4 pound heavy books around with my notes and files!And it has not given up yet, I dont know if it will last me like my swissgear does(its going strong for 2 yrs now), but I am pretty sure it will last atleast an year from now. Its Solid piece of work at what i consider is the perfect price!So if you are looking for a no nonsense lightweight yet sturdy laptop backpack, this ones for you and you do not have to look further!! Do not let the cheap price fool you, its probably the best backpack I have owned in my 20 yrs of carrying them from kindergarten :)UPDATE(3/2/2019):Yep still going strong after about 6.5 yrs, 10 interntional travels to india, China (yep used it as a carry on with so much in it, 2 laptops, hard drive and clothes and other sruff). Lots of banging and still going strong. I am so impressed i bought another one in case thet dont make this specific one anymore! Love it... And it's so so light!!
