Will a laptop fit in the bag and is there any padding to protect it?

Yes, a laptop would fit but there is little padding to protect it - no extra sleeve.

I have a Lenovo X1 Carbon and it barely fits--I mean it is snug. If your machine is any bigger than that, it won't fit, period. There is some padding, but again mot not any consequence if the machine doesn't fit anyway...

A small laptop will like 11 or 13 inch MacBook Air with a cover on it. Not much will fit in with it. There is no padding.

If you have a small lap top, it will fit. I would say kind of Sort of on the padding.

My 13" laptop fits in the bag with not much room to spare. I think I would put a laptop in a separate sleeve as there is minimal padding but then I usually do that anyway for peace of mind. Haven't used the panniers much but they are sturdy enough and adequate for my needs for a reasonable price.

They're actually great panniers! Especially for a commuter who travels small distances they work fantastically!

A laptop 17" or smaller would definetly fit, but there is no padding. If not already in case it might get jumbled while you ride. When not riding the bags can detach from each other and are easily turned into a laptop carry item.All-in-all, these saddlebags are awesome, durable, lightweight and semi-water resistant (I've been caught in the rain). I'm happy with them.

A laptop will definitely fit and while there is an elastic band inside one of the bags that will keep it secure, there is no actual padding for a laptop. Great bags, but make sure you get a compatible rack that fits them.

Computer Backpack with Padded Sleeve will fit most 15 Inch Laptops.It still might fit in there but it would be a tight fit.

I just measured it and it MIGHT fit diagonally, but I recommend a bigger bag so you can put a case or other padding in the bag to properly protect a delicate item such as a laptop from a potentially jarring street commute.

Brenda, Yes it will fit easily. The bag quality did not hold up for me as well as i would have hoped but i have a larger laptop. should work fine.

It would be tight, and there is no padding to the bag itself. The insert that comes with it protects the camera and lenses, but makes no provision to protect a laptop, so you would have to put the laptop in a padded sleever before placing in the bag.

A 17" laptop DOES fit in here. You can fit it in either pocket and still use the other pocket for tools. It's not padded but it's not paper thin either. You could throw a shirt in with it if you're worried about it.

No. Also it's a bit floppy though secure, so I'd want to put padding around any computer. I use it for gym stuff, bike lock, lunch, wallet. Has nice side pockets for storage.

No special or padded laptop sleeve, just one big compartment. Yes, its big enough for 14" laptop, but no protection.

A laptop might zip up in there. It's not padded like a laptop backpack. I use mine for HVAC work. I'm pretty rough on my stuff and it seams to be very durable. I can measure it for you tomorrow

Yes, but barely, and you won't have room for much else. I would go one size bigger or even up to the bag for 15" laptop/tablets. The bag has a very slim profile so the larger size isn't bulkier. Overall it's a nice bag for the price.

It is padded all around, including on the bottom (but the padding isn't really any thicker on the bottom than on the sides.) Maybe I'm being too literal here, but I wouldn't drop it from the top of the bag to the bottom. But I wouldn't do that with any laptop with any bag. The padding on the bottom is about the same as the older, much less elegant Targus backpack this replaced -- so let's call it about average. But, honestly, if I was going to be dropping a laptop into the bag, I'd cut a piece of foam and put that into the bottom of the pocket.

It is padded but for me, I don't feel it's "well enough" padded. But if you care for every time you put your laptop, you'll be fine. I'm fine with it so far, got it in September. Still okay, no sign of damage on my laptop due to it.

No. The only padding is on the back of the backpack when it rests on your back. If you dropped it, your laptop could possibly be damaged.

It is not really padded but has a "felt" lining to prevent scatches. The exterior is thick enough for protection as well. I use it for my MacBook Pro and throw it into another bag with my research & it is perfect for trips to library, etc.

Not any more than a regular backpack with padding on the back panel, but I think that is pretty standard on most backpacks. I would not carry a laptop in it.

The bottom has almost no padding on it. You have to remember this when you put your laptop in the bag. You can't just slam the laptop in like it's a book, you have to gently put it in there. Also, you cannot just drop the bag down, you have to carefully put it down so you do not damage the laptop. I have had this for a year and haven't had any problems.

Yes, your laptop will slide around in there. There is a lot of room for other things. Here is a link to the 13 inch bag. BUILT 13-Inch Apple MacBook or MacBook Pro Neoprene Tote Bag, Rain Drop
