    I have a question regarding putting a 15.6" laptop in a bag designed for 15.4" machines. I really like this bag

    http://www.amazon.com/SwissGear-SA9769-Computer-Black-Gray/dp/B0019M6GP6/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

    and a lot of people on this forum seem to recommend SwissGear products. I've looked at other SwissGear bags and this is really the only one I am interested in. Reading the reviews on Amazon, several people have mentioned that the bag fits their 15.4" laptop "snugly". Will I be able to fit my 15.6" Sager NP8150 in this bag? Does the extra 0.2" really make that much of a difference? If I don't go with this bag, I most likely buy this one

    Thanks for you help.

    The NP8150 is big for a 15" laptop. Personally, I'd recommend just getting a bag for a 17" laptop. I love my Ibex.

    I also use 17" for 15.6".. I tried 15" for my ASUS (15.6") but did not fit. oh- but that was a Sleeve.

    @OP, that might be a snug bag. I have a Swiss Gear Synergy that fit my 15.4" lappy when I had very well. Now, the fit for my 15.6" lappy is very snug.

    If you are looking at the Swiss Gear line you might want to take a look at the Pegasus or the Ibex. : )
