    Used it as a reference multiple times, going to order it soon from Xoxide for the $27 after mail in rebate.

    Well, the dimensions are...
    L:350 x W:330 x H:45.5 mm(L:13.78” x W:13” x H:1.8”)

    The Dimensions on your laptop are...
    Width: 31.8cm / Height: 2.31cm – 3.38cm / Depth: 23.8cm

    So, it will definitely fit. ;)

    Hmm, cant really say. Check the dimensions of your notebook backpak.

    It fits snuggly in my 17" backpack, so im not too sure about if it will fit in a 13" one. :(, but check just incase.
