I want to use the Samsonite bag to carry my Epson projector....which needs about 3.5 inches of thickness to store into the area where a laptop would usually go. Is there enough depth to accommodate? Are the separators attached by Velcro at sides so you can move and rearrange them?

Thank you for your response. I think I'd be better off with a briefcase on wheels--they are made much larger and will give me room to put extension cord, remote, vga cord, etc.

The Samsonite bag does not have a removable insert inside. The divider has a Velcro strip in the middle so that you can attach it to one side for more room.There are pockets on the other side that will flatten if not in use. The bottom of the bag is not very wide(2"?) but when the laptop area is unzipped, it opens quite a bit so the projector should probably fit ok. It's a very well-made bag.

It is heavy for a laptop but I really love it. You wont get anything close to the power it has anywhere near its price. You will also have to get a larger bag to carry it in. I tried a standard 14 inch laptop bag and it was a tight squeeze without anything else in the bag like a charger a mouse and a paper notebook will not fit. I bought a messenger bag for mine. I would have loved to have gotten an Alienware bag or carrying case but they are over priced in my opinion.

Erik - My bag has a shoulder strap on it. I truly cannot remember if it came with it or if I cannibalized another bag??? Your shoes should fit in one of the outside pockets provided you do not have NBA sized feet. The laptop is a tricky one. Depending on the size of your laptop it might fit in one of the side pockets. It will fit in the main compartment however the bag has no padding and no real good way to secure a laptop. I will say for the price there is no better garment bag.... Plus made in the USA. If I were going to carry a laptop I would buy or make a padded envelop/bag for the laptop and make it work. Erik - My bag has a shoulder strap on it.

I had to return mine because it wasn't big enough to house my 17" Toshiba laptop. That said, it will house those 2 laptops you mentioned. As far as extras, it will carry the essentials with little problem. If you are trying to carry extra things then a bigger bag may be necessary. Again, it all depends on how much you are planning to haul around. I use a 17" laptop bag made by Microsoft. While more expensive, it was the only one large enough to house my laptop and has an insane amount of storage space.Hope this helps

The width and depth are no problem as the cart really has a large base. My machine has a strong cloth case that has a slot to slide over the handle of the cart and thus secure it to the cart. Your only problem would be securing your machine to the cart maybe elastic cords etc. The recently flew 1000 miles with my machine and cart and the cart held up very well.

I have this bag and it's really perfect for my MacPro laptop. The main compartment is divided vertically by a panel that closes with a velcro tab. And there is a zippered pocket and mesh pocket, no zipper. Both pockets are small and I don't really use them, but all my stuff fits in the side of the main compartment that doesn't have my computer in it. Hope that helps!

I just put a few sheets of computer paper in there and it just fit in so you shouldn't have a problem. Or you could always just switch to a smaller pad of paper like a 5x7. By the way I'm very pleased with the bag overall.

theres a padded divider which is great for a laptop but may not be best for LOTS of books, but if you like a divider for say books and something else it could still work. does not balance well / sit on its own. that said, i love the oil rubbed fabric finish and the deep purple color & style... functionality as a laptop bag is great.

I'm using a mid sized Samsonite video camera bag with an adjustable divider. Plenty of room for the camera, filters, cables and extra batteries. A bit of overkill but the larger bag gives easier access to the camera than a smaller tight fit case.

Well, this was a gift, and I have not seen the recipient actually using it. The bag is attached to the back handles of the chair, and my friend's chair has a very high back to accommodate a headrest, but it's a standard width chair. To a non-wheelchair person like me, it looks like it would be tricky to reach around the side to access the compartments, because it seems like the wheels would get in the way. But it hangs at about the same height as the bag in the Amazon photo does, so if you don't have arm mobility problems, yes, you would be able to reach around. The top has a drawstring closure, so you wouldn't have to fumble with zippers to get at your things in the main compartment.

This bag is very good for me, but I use it for 3M projector and my 11.6 Inch laptop. I don't know the size of BenQ but this bag could have 13 Inch L. x 4 Inch W x 9inch H.

I carried my laptop, shoes and some files. I wanted to put items from my purse and lunch in there as well but all of it would not fit. It's a nice sturdy bag but not worth the money to me because I still had to carry a rather large purse.

I don't have personal experience trying to do so, but I believe it'd be possible. It's a bit longer (~1/2" - 1") and a bit wider (~1/2" - 1") than what they list as a limits for carry on personal items. The problem will be if the seat frame will accommodate these slightly larger dimensions. Because of the hard plastic laptop compartment, the bag won't flex or squish down any smaller length-wise or width-wise. I'd say roll the dice and worst case you'll end up having to gate check it. It'd be worth it for peace of mind that nothing will crush your laptop when its in this bag as far as I'm concerned. I don't have personal experience trying to do so, but I believe it'd be possible.

There's a spot designated inside for your laptop and it dies have a Velcro strap. The spot is a little big for a thin laptop like a MacBook (which is what I use it for) but it's a fantastic bag!

This foldable backpack could hold a labtop, a pair of mens 38 size jeans, 2 ex. large shirts, 3 pairs of socks & two pairs of mens ex. large boxers folded neatly. As for carrying a laptop in this bag I feel that the material is too thin to keep the laptop from being damaged if it gets banged or dropped. This is not what I used the backpack for. I just wanted to show how much items fit in this bag.

You have a lot of room in this bag. There are several pockets inside to hold pens, keys, etc. I sent mine back because I did not like the pearlized color so I am unable to tell you the depth but it is more like a big purse than a square boxy computer bag that you typically see. I think this is because it detaches from the rollers so it can be used as a regular briefcase.
