Kim, the bag I posted truly does fit my 17" laptop. I can get my laptop, all the cables and other junk, my tablet and a couple other small things into the bag. I couldn't use it for a regular tote bag in tandem with the laptop, but it serves the purpose for which I bought it quite well!
Thank you ladies! Leila.. what color bag do you have? I really like the chocolate and blue one and it's $58.46 on Amazon.
I have this bag. I ♥ it. I did NOT pay that much for it though! I picked it up through Amazon for $37. It seems that they only have the black/red at that price though. Hmmm....
That's the one I have, except mine is for a 15" lappy. There's compartments in it, but not enough room for anything bulky. I can't get my power cord in there along with my mouse.
