SwissGear SA1908 ScanSmart Backpack in BlackReviews
I own a 16.4" Sony VAIO FW Series and it fits snugly into the laptop section of the backpack. It should fit most 17" laptops as advertised, but I can't guarantee that because my VAIO has 16:9 aspect ratio display, which makes the laptop dimensions a little narrower and longer. Comes with a strap that holds the laptop in place. It's made of strong material on the outside; however, the material used to separate the different sections of the backpack could be stronger. The color is totally black, unlike the picture shown on Amazon's page which seems a little lighter. Zippers used are pretty strong, would be great if the front zippers were the same. Back portion has lots of padding. However, it would be nice if the shoulder straps had a little more cushion. The backpack is very light, which is a good thing as most laptops add a lot of weight to the backpack. Has an interesting window design that shows the laptop when the backpack's laid open. I would've taken one star away for the material used to partition the different section of the backpack, if not for the 5 year limited warranty it comes with. For the price I'm paying for ($39.99), it's a great buy. I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a laptop backpack that supports larger laptops.
I bought this bag to use specifically for commuting to work on a bike, but also to take with me on trips through the airport. It has lots of extra pockets and pouches that allow me to take everything I need for work in the bag including a change of clothes, lunch, and of course, my computer. There is even an internal detachable keyring to keep my keys on when I am out and about. The shoulder straps are well cushioned and the back is ventilated, so it is comfortable to wear.
Also, I have no problems fitting my M70 Dell laptop in the bag, although the velcro strap that holds the laptop in is kind of difficult to use--I have quit using it altogether. It would interfere with the zipper at times and doesn't seem to have a purpose other than holding the laptop against your back if the bag isn't full.
