    No issues, just put in carry on bag. I once took 3 laptops in one bag had no issue cross country and out of country.

    They usually put a size limit on carry on bags along with a weight limit but I have never been stopped even when my carry on bag probably weighed close to 30 pounds and certainly looked like it the way it dragged.

    1 laptop though is pretty standard, pending your airport of choice they may have you put it in a separate bin through security but that is likely the most of the troubles you'll have.

    yeah the size was 56cm x 40 x 25 or somthing like that, more then enough for the size of the aw17, and weight was 23kg per bag or so

    Hmm most cabin cases that are allowed in Europe can house the 17inch version. The 15inch just fits. But I have no clue if there are different size requirements in others parts of the world.

    That 23KG is for the cargo compartment, not overhead bins.

    ah k, yeah the site doesnt do well to show what weights for what bags, ive ordered that kroser 18.4 briefcase bag that someone else mentioned was good, and the measurements are quite abit below the max dimensions of the overhead cabin size
