I have a big old 17" laptop and also want to carry a water bottle (slim 16oz size). Am I going to have enough room for both in this bag?

to be honest, I'm not too certain. I was able to take a water bottle fine with a laptop inside (though my laptop is only 14"). I put the water bottle in the front pocket which fits fine. Good luck to you!

Absolutely! I have a17" laptop and have had many other things in the bag too.

You probably would not be able to put the water bottle inside the zippered part of the bag, the lap top would take up all space sideways, except for some flat stuff, paperwork etc. But you could certainly put a couple of water bottles in the outer pocket since it goes the entire length of the bag.

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.

The main compartment leaves things loose, so I think putting the laptop in the hydration-bladder compartment is better. I've put my 14" laptop there, and it's a perfect fit. Nothing larger would fit.

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

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

It should be. I have it filled with water, food, clothes, and still have extra room in there. I guess it depends upon how many things you want to take. If you carry a lot, go bigger then.

depends on how thick the books are. I put my macbook pro 17" in here. it is very snug. I am not sure with a 17.3" it may not fit. The cooler will fit. The lap top compartment is only for the laptop;the cooler and laptop won't fit together in that compartment. I travel lightly with this bag. I carry my macbook, my small wacom tablet with pen, a 1.5" 14x9'' folder, pencil baggy(not plastic box), and sometimes a water bottle, small chapter book. You can look this bag up in detail on youtube. I watched one on there a long time ago. http://youtu.be/mrmfS2oSHIQ

I've carried up to a 17" laptop, but that was pushing it. A 15" fits perfectly and a 13" flops around a bit, you'd want other things in there to keep it in place.

I have a 15" laptop but it has room for a longer one. A 17" laptop will stick out of the sleeve but still be inside the pack, I believe.

Yes. You should have no problems fitting at 15 or 17 inch laptop in the bag. However the bag doesn't have any type of padding to protect the laptop like a normal book sack would.

The answer is yes. It has plenty of space. This is a really great bag. I love it. It has many pockets and seems very strong, as my 17.5 inch laptop is very heavy.This has survived more than 1.5 years and still looks great. Have not found a flaw yet. But, take your own decision.

Yes and then some..I put a 17" laptop older style thick and it fits fine...plus a binder and books...you'll understand when you see it..lots of room for a messenger bag..it's not some flimsy bag..it will really last for years, it's built tough

17 inch is huge for a 13 inch laptop in my opinion. The 14 inch bag is able to store my 14 inch laptop, cables, accessories and such in a compact manner. Its not a slim bag but definitely sufficient. I guess if you dont mind the size, then getting a larger bag would be a safe bet.

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

Yes, a 17 inch laptop will fit in it easily. I lined my bag with 1 inch foam rubber from the local Michael's store for extra protection and it holds my 15" Lenovo or my daughter's 17" HP laptop easily. The computer bag is very good sized and works really well. It also comes with a shoulder strap for carrying and attaches to the panniers quickly with 4 quick clips. As a bonus, there is a zipper on the bottom that when opened, lets you take out the hidden shoulder straps to make it into a backpack for trips that you don't need the panniers or for walking around town/campus.

Two 17" laptops could fit but it will be very snug. The bag is not made for 17" laptops.
