how would you compare this bag against the Case Logic DLBP-116 16-Inch Laptop Backpack (Dark Gray) ?

I'm sorry, but I have no experience with the Case Logic model. However, I will reccommend ANYTHING Swiss Gear...it is my absolute favorite when it comes to backpacks and computer cases because the quality is great and the weight distribution is excellent.

yes padding was sufficient for me; the strap design is better suited for carrying as a messenger bag rather than a shoulder bag though. a 17" laptop tends to slide off the shoulder a bit too easily for my tastes though.

Hi Kailey, yes I think your laptop will be fine in the 16" case. In my review of the 18" case my 17.5" laptop fit perfectly with still more room but not too much to flop around. Also, there are straps inside where the laptop goes to secure the laptop to the case so it doesn't flop around. It's a great case for the money.

yeah it would fit well, you can check some of the pictures i uploaded on the product page to get an idea of the bag to laptop ratio

I'm not sure either, you should try measuring the laptop and read the measurements of the case

I would say no. Unless you are a big guy the bag can look silly and you'd probably get made fun of honestly. The reviews aren't exaggerated, it is the biggest backpack I've ever seen. Look at some of the photos. Its much bigger than what is needed for a 17" laptop.

Not sure how they compare, I was looking for one to handle a 17" pc, that looked like a tote instead of a briefcase and was inexpensive

Go with the 17. Will have plenty of room, plus some for other misc items and still not feel bulky

Melvin, the size looks to be about the same size, so the case should work, but it is a very thin cloth based case, not sturdy or rugged. I went ahead and purchased a hard shell case to protect from impact and jostling around in my backpack. I purchased a Lacie hard shell, I can't find it on amazon anymore, but it looks exactly like this one, now made by case logic. http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Logic-DL-64-Portable-Carrying/dp/B003VVH8Y6/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1408387302&sr=1-6&keywords=lacie+hard+drive+case Regards, Chad

Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one. If you stand it on end, it has a felt pad on the inside bottom. On the outside bottom, it has ribbed plastic to assist with this bag not touching the surface. I found the bag to be secure for my laptop and have traveled with it. It has space on the outside portion to hold electrical items, etc. The shoulder strap is what came in handy for me and with the extra padding on the bottom and security straps inside, I decided to keep it. I hope this helps your decision. Michael, I have purchased this bag as my third bag to accommodate my 17" laptop. The first two I ordered were not adequate at all; however, I kept this one.

There might be a bit of confusion as to what bag I bought. I did not buy the backpack style rather a attache bag for my 17" computer. For what it is worth, the bag I bought is very well made and an excellent buy for the money.Targus XL Top-Loading Case Designed for 17-Inch Notebooks, Black (TXL417)

I got the Mobile Edge Premium Laptop Backpack- 17.3-Inch (Black). I really like it. There is plenty of room for the computer and all the accessories. It has good padding and lots of pockets. The only thing is it can get heavy if you fill up the backpack.

This is the bag for you. It fits everything I carry - a charger, pens and pencils, small notebook.It has several zippered pockets. Also, there is a strap that works well. I have only used mine for 2 months but basedon my experience with Case Logic products this item is a keeper.ThanksChris

I have a 17.3" Acer that is about 1" thick.It's 15 1/2" x 11 3/4" and it fits perfectly. It weighs about 10.5 lbs.I love the Samsonite Rolling Laptop bag. It keeps everything (pretty dry in the hardest rain) and, after over a year of almost daily usage is still great.

Thanks, Joshua. The briefcase looks like it will work perfectly, so I just ordered one. Wish it were lighter than 1.8 lbs (I seem to have a hang-up with weight), but everything else about it seems to be exactly what the doc ordered. Have you received the laptop and bag yet? Let us know what you think.

A 17" laptop can comfortably fit into the sleeve of the main compartment. The reinforced backing keeps everything snug. I scrapped my laptop bag entirely.

my old laptop is 17". (actual dimensions 10 3/4 x 16 1/4) and is does fit, but i have to force the bag around the corners. Me personally, i don't feel comfortable carrying that laptop in this bag. if you have a 17" laptop, i would suggest getting a bigger backpack
