Sumdex Women's 17-inch Laptop Bag

Overall I'm very happy with this bag. It's a little larger than I had expected but it works well for me. It holds my 17" lap top without issue. It has two "large" interior compartments. One side has a divider and velcro for holding your lap top - you could also fit thin documents or a folder on this side. The other side is also divided into two, has a full around zipper, and one side of this section has several smaller pockets. A good place for cords / mouse / etc.There is one larger outside pocket (I have a spiral notebook in it but you could probably put quite a bit more in it) that side is "open" and closes only with velcro. The other outside pocket is smaller but has a zipper (good for keys, cell phone, pens, calculator, etc.)The fabric, pulls and straps seem to be of a nice quality that will hold up well. Note that the straps and trim are chocolate brown (not black as it may look on some monitors).

17.3 HP fits perfect. Also plenty of extra room for papers, mouse, cords and really whatever I might need. Very roomy.

I looked for a big enough bag for my 17 inch for quite a while. I even purchased and returned 3 other bags. I was looking for serviceable, but didn't want boring black. This bag fit the bill. The straps are long enough to wear over the shoulder with ease, and wide enough to prevent discomfort. Unlike other reviewers, I have no problem getting my machine in and out, did it several times at airport security last week with one hand. The color is vibrant, and there is ample room for paperwork, books, dvd, earphones, etc. Only downside is that putting in the charger makes the bag bulk up a bit more that I like. Also, while I do realize that this bag was cheap for a laptop bag - particularly one for a 17 inch - it was still more than I wanted to pay.

I'm retired so will use it mostly on occasional road trips. Actually, I kinda like the colors--funky red color and brown handles. There is no padding on the bottom so I put a strip of bubble wrap under the computer to ensure soft landings. I did a lot of online shopping and this bag best fulfilled my needs and wants for a modest price.

• How accurate was the sizing? Fits my 17" Dell Inspiron along with power cords, mouse, mousepad and other miscellaneous items..
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Stylish and functional for my needs.
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Quality is good but, as others have noted, there is a bit of a smell from inside the bag.
