Is the laptop compartment big enough to hold a larger 15 or so in laptop? (my New Macbook Pro in it's case)

I have a 13", and measured that it will barely fit something of 16"-16 1/2"; so 15" should fit quite well.

Yep, but he actual padded part is only 11" tall. it will be plenty wide. There is a strap that goes from the top of the inside of the bag and Velcros to the padded part. So part of the laptop will poke out of the top. A lot of the time I place my laptop in the rear hydration part of the bag which runs the entire length of the bag.

I put an 11 inch laptop in it and it is pretty tight, I do not believe the 15 inch would fit.

Yes. On a trip to Paris this fall, I carried with me a 13 inch laptop and a iPad. Both fit in the computer compartment. I've recently purchased a 15 inch Mac Book Pro and it easily fits in the compartment.

It's got a good amount of room. I can fit my macbook pro 15 inch in and slide a one subject notebook in there too if I really try. It may be tight but I think it'll fit.

My 15" mac book fits fine with plenty of space on either side. Can't really judge how large a laptop would be too large.

I don't think so. It fits my 15" MacBook Pro in a sleeve, but I would go with the Rush 24 bag. It's a little bit bigger then then 12. And would definitely fit your laptop.

I have a 15" Macbook Pro and a 15" Twelve South case and it fits perfectly although a bit snug. There is no room for anything else. If you want a carrier with room for extras, this is not for you unless you want an additional carrier as well as this one.

No, I have a 13 inch macbook pro and it fits snug. A 15.6 inch laptop definitely won't fit. Especially if it's a Windows laptop. Windows laptops seem to be a bit thicker than MacBooks.

I have a 15" MacBook Pro and it fits perfectly in the pocket but there's another inch or so before the zipper so I think you'd be fine.

I have a 13'' Mac Book and it's literally floating in it, so I'm pretty sure any 15-inches-ish computer should be comfortable in it.As of weight, I often put some other (heavier) hardware along with it, and the structure of the backpack is really solid; unless you're transporting bags of lead, I think you should be fine. :)Maybe somebody who actually owns a heavy laptop can come up with a more accurrate experience feedback, but from my point of view, I wouldn't worry.

I have a 15 in. MacBook and it fits perfectly with a little bit of space to spare. You should be fine.

Well it's hard to say, there's more room then i need for my 15" macbook retina, but i am not sure that a 17 " would fit, i know they are measured from one corner to another not straight across... if you look at their website http://www.pelican.com/backpacks/U100.html there is a different backpack model that says apple up to 17" for the case. http://www.pelican.com/backpacks/S130.html this is the one you are looking at, which is a bit smaller not by much. Something tells me I remember researching this when I bought it and it only fits 15... but i could be wrong..

It's all going to come down to the width of the computer. A 15" MacBook Pro fits underneath just fine, but you might have to raise it up just a bit due to ports so that the connected cables can exit the side cleanly.

I can confirm the other responses. My 15-inch MacBook Pro with a sleeve fits in the bag with no problem. These are great panniers!

It should be big enough. My 15.6" fits, but I need to maneuver it past the zipper. I don't actually use the laptop sleeve in the bag. It comes sewn in, but I took mine out, because I mostly use it without it. It is sturdier with it but there is a lot less room for other things. I really like the bag.

Yes. The bag is much bigger than it appears. You should have no problem fitting a 15" laptop in it.

I have a 13 inch macbook pro and it fits well. Snugly, but well nonetheless. I still have room in the extra pocket for an external hard drive.
