timbuk2 M: will my 15.6 inch laptop fit?

im looking to get a timbuk2 command or d-lux racer messenger bag in medium.
i use the laptop in my sig which is 15.6 inches and weighs around 7.5 lbs. it also has a large 120watt psu.
will the M size be adequate space for the laptop in the sleeve? i saw videos with the L messenger bag and they do look huge. i wanna a get something much smaller than that. the problem is locally they are not available and i need to order one online and have it brought to me by a relative from the states.
so i will be gauging size only by what people comment on. also, replacing it for a larger or smaller size might prove difficult since there are no available stores nor stocks in my country.
hope you guys can help.

 

I had a similar Timbuk2 M bag and my ALienware M15x didnt fit at all ! not even close, they may have started making them different. I got my the summer of 2009.

 

Thanks for the reply.
How thick is the mx15?

 

No pro. Im not %100 sure but its about 2" thick.

 

check the dimensions at ebags.com

really helpful when buying laptop bags

 

tried to access ebags but their sites seem down.

 

Here are the Demensions of the M15x ( also weight )

Dimensions (WD): 14.9x12.2 inches

Height: 1.9 inches

Screen size (diagonal): 15.6 inches

System weight / Weight with AC adapter : 9.4/10.9 pounds

 

this are the dimensions of my sager:

7.38 LBs with Battery Pack
14.75" (w) x 10" (d) x 1.65" (h)
its definitely a little smaller than the aw
but when i computed real dimensions here (dimensions tab):
M max true width: 16.00 max true height:12.30
my laptop came out with :
max true width:16.4 max true height:11.65
so im a little worried about the width. in your experience, was your problem with the width or height of your AW?

 

yeah width is what im worried about too and i dont think thyve changed designs since summer 09.
maybe its time for me to look elsewhere.

 

well they do have an L which i thin is too big from pictures ive seen.
ive got a oakley back pack which works perfectly for me, i just got sold on the design and durability of the timbuk2 command -all of which counts for zilch if my lappy wont fit

 

yeah, i travel a lot too and the timbuk2 command wouldve been perfect. i think my only option would be to fit it personally to my laptop but alas its not available locally where i live.
