    that bag was my first choice, but the notebook compartment is only 16.0"x10.5"x1.3". apparently, my gateway's dimensions are 15.75"x11.75"x1.3"-1.7". will it still fit?

    The HP dv9xxx series in my review fitted well. Its dimensions are as follows.

    Dimensions: 15.16 (L) x 11.65" (W) x 1.57" (H)

    nice. thanks for clarifying, i was really concerned when the internal laptop compartments had dimensions that were slightly smaller than my laptop's.

    :S Really? is it too "tall" for the bag? Perhaps the Pakuma Choroka K1 might fit...
