Will this backpack fit a 17-inch laptop? And is it waterproof?

Yes, there's a laptop pocket inside that fits my 17 inch laptop with room to spare... Living in Florida we deal with rain constantly, and I've never had an issue with stuff inside the backpack getting wet... whether it's actually waterproof or not i don't know but my experience with this backpack in the rain has been excellent...

I have a 15 inch laptop that fits in it with no problem but a 17 inch may be a bit too big for the backpack. It is not waterproof, however there is a zippered pouch on the front that will hold cold items. It is lined with thin layer of plastic but unfortunately it is not waterproof.

I have a 15-inch laptop and it fits perfect with some more space in it. Im pretty sure it might fit. i walked to my classes in heavy rains and i can say its not waterproof but it doesnt get soaking wet either and youll have to be in heavy showers for atleast an hour to get your contents in the bag soaked

I'm pretty sure it can, because my 16" laptop fits with room to spare, but is NOT waterproof.

I have a 17 inch and love the backpack. It is nicely padded and I can fit my cooling fan. Highly recommend. :)

Yes it will fit, however this back pack does not have any padding to protect your laptop. You could add some padding yourself, however it could then take space to put other things inside the bag.

my 17 inch fits great. you might not be able to get 2 in the outside pouch that is for a laptop. but there is lots of space in 3 other places. i put a lot of stuff in mine. hope this helps

The max can fit 17'laptop, if you put a lot of very thick blinders with larger laptop in, I don't know if can fit, everything has it own limitation .

Sure it's plenty big. It's not padded though for laptops. I love all the compartments for swimming gear.

This bag has a separate compartment for the laptop on the back with a lot of padding on both sides. I believe that it will protect the laptop as well or better than "standard" bags. the compartment is water resistant but not water proof. It is totally fine for treks in the rain or snow. I really like this bag and think it is a great value. I've recevied compliments on the looks and it holds my MacBook and iPad perfectly.

Well it's hard to say, there's more room then i need for my 15" macbook retina, but i am not sure that a 17 " would fit, i know they are measured from one corner to another not straight across... if you look at their website http://www.pelican.com/backpacks/U100.html there is a different backpack model that says apple up to 17" for the case. http://www.pelican.com/backpacks/S130.html this is the one you are looking at, which is a bit smaller not by much. Something tells me I remember researching this when I bought it and it only fits 15... but i could be wrong..

I don't think it is waterproof at all. The pocket for the laptop is a nice solid shell material so it would protect it from a short drop.

I have a 17 inch laptop that fits nicely. I measured the space with a measuring tape, its more than 19 inches deep by 12 inches wide and has enough room to close the zipper.

Our laptops are 15.3 inches and put that in backpack for size and it plenty of room and some to spare. Our best guess is that the 17.3 would fit too.

I carry around my business laptop (HP Probook 6570b) in it all the time, and there is room to spare. The laptop is a 15" model, so I think your 17.5" should fit. I would measure the bag but I don't have a tape measure on me.

If you want a waterproof/water-resistant backpack, check out the Granite Gear laptop backpacks. They are all about the same size as this one. I have the Saunders and really like it. Just note, the Granite Gear backpacks do not have the cooler feature.

This backpack will fit up to 15" notebooks, maybe even a little bigger. There is a compartment in the back part, consisting of some nylon fabric, not just straps.There is not much padding though, just a sheet of polypropylene inside the back I guess.The back itself has some padding for comfort, but this is not the most protective laptop bag Pelican offers, that's for sure.That said: I put my MacBook Air 13" in there during travel and I have had no issues. But then I do city-tours, not outback-hiking.

absolutely! my laptop is a little over 17 inches and bigger than most. I also carry a 10 inch notebook next to it in the adjoining pocket, along with various other stuff. This bad is heavy duty, and I have never had a better bag to carry and meet all my needs, seriously! this backpack is the best by far. If your looking for quality and longevity, this is it!

The Swiss army backpack has the room for your laptop. I like the distribution of the compartments. But it is not rain proof. If it rains, water can get through. So , just be careful

It depends on what size lap top. I have a 17 inch and it was snug. The straps on this backpack are weak, so not sure if I would trust my laptop to them for too long of walks.Good luck
