My laptop is same size...I bought the 17inch it is perfect...has the extra pocket for a note pad and pen...I love it and especially the hot pink...so cool.

I would not go for this one. The inside width is 15" exactly so I am sure it would be too small.

You can put all kinds f stuff in this case and on a smaller one you will be starved for room. This case was just right.

My laptop is the same size & i have this same pink case. It fits perfectly fine & has just enough room to fit my laptop however if i was to want to put a notebook in there or something there wouldnt be much extra space so to help answer your question, if you dont think you'll want extra space to fit anything else get the 15 inch. If you will, get 17inch.

My Lenovo G580 has a 15.6-inch display, and it fits comfortably. I think even a 17" would fit okay.

I have a 15.6 and it fits perfect, I believe a 17in would hang over a little on the sides.

Mine is a 15" but I'm pretty sure a 17" will fit as I still have some room with my 15".

Go with the 17. Will have plenty of room, plus some for other misc items and still not feel bulky

The physical, outside lengths of 15.6 laptops differ depending on manufacturer, if the screen a 16:9 "letterbox" or not, if the screen is HD/1080p or not, etc. I have an HP DV6T laptop that has a 15.6 1080p screen. It has a wider, letter box shape like many new laptops come with now a days. I bought this bag, but my laptop was too tall for the computer compartment. See the pics I posted in the customer pictures area. With my laptop closed, using a tape measure edge to edge it's a tiny bit under 15 inches. When put inside the Swissgear, my laptop upper corners came right up against the inside zipper edges. Also my laptop was a bit too tall for the way they constructed the velcro elastic closure latch (it couldn't properly stretch over and around my laptop). In my opinion, if your closed laptop outer dimensions is no more than 13 or 14 inches, then the laptop compartment on this bag should be okay. But at 15 inches (like mine), then it's no good. I wound up returning mine. As fyi, just as a comparison my company bought me the Swissgear "Legacy" computer backpack which is also marketed for 15.6 screen computers. I've been using it for a couple of years for my job Lenovo laptop. My home laptop (which is the HP dv6t) fits perfectly in the Legacy computer compartment, just making it to the tippy top and not rubbing up against the zipper edges. The compartment padded wall on the Legacy is far higher and deeper than the one you're considering. But the Legacy bag is also about double the price

I have a 17.3" and there is lots of space for it in my new 18" case. My assumption would be that the 16" case would accommodate a 15.6" laptop.

Actually most 17" laptops have a dimension of 15x10.3 so if yours fit that dimension it should fit. So measure the height and width of your laptop and see if it fits the 15.2" dimensions.

if it is 17.3 inch yes, there is a little extra space. How big is your computer?

Yes, my laptop is 15.6. Very roomy - I stuffed it with a laptop, grad school books, travel coffee mugs, etc. Def worth the money.

According to previous answers, it fits a 17" laptop, so it should fit a 15.6" laptop with room to spare.

That laptop is listed at a 14.1"... I'm assuming it will, I might be snug, but the next size up is 16" and that might be too big. If it were me, I'd take a shot and go with it, knowing I could always return it and get the next size up...

The 17" is measuring the laptop diagonally. If you measure straight across, it will be 15" .There is no problem fitting my 17" laptop.

I have a 15" and it's really roomy with extra space. I believe it should fit a 17" fine.

My laptop is 15 inches. It works fine for me, supper cool and quiet. I love the way we can adjust its speed. If you put your hand around it (about 1 inches you can feel cool air run around it.

17" will fit on it fine, just be sure to make the gap between the two sections as wide as can be when putting it together, you'll need a little more clearance for any USB devices and cables on that side if your using a 17" laptop like i do.. It works nicely tho.
