    Hi, I have recently ordered a new laptop and am looking at buying a new laptop rucksack for it. However the ones that I really do like are the SwissGear laptops (up to 15.4") and my question is would these have enough give to be able to fit a 15.6" laptop?

    Thanks.

    ^^I have the Synergy by Swiss Gear. I used it exclusively when I still had my XPS 1530.

    Now, I have a XPS 1647, and the fit is *very tight*. If, I am going to use, I make sure I use my Neoprene sleve to help protect when placing in the backpack. This is so I help can curve any potential scratches, etc.

    If you are looking at a Swiss Gear, you may want to get one that fits up to a 17" Laptop ~ Like the Ibex, or Pegasus. : )

    I have the Pegasus for my XPS 15 and it works great.

    Thanks for your reply! :D Few things I don't understand though; is the 1647 a 15.4" laptop or is it a 16" one? Also, how thick would you say the sleeve is?

    I have looked at the 17" rucksacks however I don't like the design so much as I do with the 15.4" ones.

    Looked at that just not to keen on the colours, and is the laptop compartment too wide for the laptop or does it fit well?

    Also, does anyone have the SA9275? I think it looks really good but am not sure whether it its actually an official model from swissgear. So if anyone knows any information regarding it and they could post it that would be great!
