HP Pavillion DV7 Fits just fine..
By Sterling Fitness
Not too much to say with regards to this bag that hasn't already been said. It is finelooking boring as far as swissgear bags go. Lots of black woven vinyl. Very well built but feels a little 'cheap' equated to the SA9360 or the Wired Laptop Backpack for 17-Inch Notebook. It does not have a wired headphone socket on the shoulder strap like those two either. Speaking of shoulder straps, they are thinner than the other two models cited both in width and padding so I do not think that this is rather as comfortable. That said, it felt fine lugging around the laptop and during one night clothes etc for a couple of hours. The two models brought up are a very tight fit for 17" notebooks altho - they will have to be listed as fitting all 16" and the slender Macbook Pro 17" only. Bigger desktop replacements will not fit without apparent effort unless you are more than willing to remove or slit the thick bottom padding.

As my title says, this one does comfortably fit the HP 17" widescreen models just fine, however, do NOT suppose the TSA to let the 'SmartScan' feature through with a big laptop in there.. The mesh observing window for the smartscan is when it comes to the size of a netbook so a proper laptop merely looks like a big plastic device in there! My experience was a delay of 5 more minutes while they had me take it out and scrutinize it and myself. They commended that I take it out in future so they may visually see it as well as x-ray it, the man did say that when they may see laptops decently in the smartscan style bags, they are satisfied. In my opinion, by the time you have unzipped, unfolded and balanced the bag before sliding it on the belt for viewing, you might as well have just taken the damn computer out in the initial place!
Final point: I do not think that an 18" Notebook would fit in this bag without stretching the super smooth zippers around it on the top corners.

Best laptop bag ever!
By SteveO
A breeze when going through security. Just unzip and open like a clam shell.

A real timesaver! I would highly endorse this pack to anyone!
