Is the main compartment large enough to carry a 17 inch laptop?

This thing will hold several laptops. Its huge. You can put it in the front compartment and still pack clothes in the rear.

I put my laptop in there ALL the time. Not sure of my laptop size, but there is MORE than enough room for it.

I purchased this backpack for my middle school aged son. They do not have lockers in his school. He carries 3 large binders, notebooks, large sketch pad and various text books with room to spare. The binders are 12 in high and there is an additional 7 inches to the top of the backpack with the binder in it.This is a very large backpack. Hope this helps.

Yes, it could definitely fit. You may be able to find the exact dimensions online somewhere. The backpack is honestly pretty huge compared to a normal school-type pack (the north face etc.)

I keep a 18.5" x 10.5" metal camping grill in the main compartment and there is an additional .5 inch of clearance all the way around. This pack is large. My problem is putting too much stuff in there. I also have a tent and a sleeping bag in the main compartment with the grill.

Easily you could put a 21.5" flat screen monitor if you want. This is by far favorite backpack I've owned so far.

Yes. It's a great pack but it's HUGE. I fell it's too big for everyday activities. Good for travel but some airlines will have check it in as it doesn't always overhead.

Yes but be careful because my laptop is 17 inches and takes up a good bit of space

I have a 17 inch and it fits fine. There is also room for a mouse or trackball.

this bag is great for a laptop, but dont expect a 17" laptop to fit in the center zipper compartment. it will fit on either side. i put my laptop in the back compartment and i dont think they make one big enough to not fit in this bag.

Yes. More than enough. I have a large 17 inch laptop and it holds it great!

I carry around my business laptop (HP Probook 6570b) in it all the time, and there is room to spare. The laptop is a 15" model, so I think your 17.5" should fit. I would measure the bag but I don't have a tape measure on me.

I purchased this bag about a year ago and my 17" laptop fits in it with some room to spare. I love it!

My 13 inch Asus Zenbook Prime was too small for that bag, so I have a feeling 17 inch would fit in perfectly. If not, you can always return it ya know :)

My 17.3 inch laptop fits like a glove. Yours might slide around, backpack does a strip to hold it in place.

I just received the professional gear back pack and I can tell you that the entire bag is only 17in. tall as measured from the out side. As best as I can measure the inside lap top compartment, I can only safely say that it is 16 1/2in. tall and only 10 1/2in. wide. Given a 1.75 in. thickness for computer, it would be at tight fit for anything close to 17in. Therefor I would recommend nothing larger then a 16in. lap top. Steve.

Yes, there is plenty of room for a 15 inch laptop, with plenty of room to spare. There is not any padding in this backpack so be careful about jostling or bumping your computer. I would put the computer in a sleeve of some kind to pad it.

I would say 17 inches is pushing it. You would want to put other things in it too I'm guessing such as books, folders, etc. I have a 13 inch laptop which provides me with plenty of room but I wouldn't recommend it for a 17 inch.

Yes! I'm able to carry a 17" laptop, a 15.6" laptop, several files, a paper notebook and other small office items without a problem.

No, I used it for my 14 inch Lenovo laptop,, seems that it had plenty room for my computer but probably a 17 inch computer won't fit in this bag

Yes. I use this thing for school sometimes and I can get my 17" laptop in it and two textbooks and a couple notebooks.

Yes, I have a very large 17.3" dell laptop that fits perfect. My usband has a Swiss gear for 17" that it did not fit. Love this back pack.

Yes it's very roomy & very sturdy I used it for my large 17" HP laptop & my smaller Asus netbook at the same time, with plenty of room to spare .
