Can a 15" macbook pro or similar laptop fit in here, and how well protected would it be padding wise as well as weather resistance wise?

No, if you look up the dimensions, it will hold an Apple notebook, or iPad mini. I would use my protective sleeve, for my device, and pad-out the pannier bag, with a sweater or jacket. You would still have room for books on the other side. It seems to be weather resistance, for light weather.

It may not, my dell mini 10" does fit, my wife's 17" does not. These bags are best suited for long weekend trips, not too waterproof.

hmmmm - not sure. It is large enough for my 15" macbook pro. I think you'd be better getting something that is specific to those two items instead. You probably don't want them moving around inside.

I don't own a 15" laptop, but my 13" MacBook Pro fits in, in a protective sleeve, with room to spare. I'll also add that after several months of use, I still really enjoy this backpack over a conventional business briefcase.

That was what I used the bag for for the last year. There's a padded sleeve inside that fit my 13" MacBook with a little room to spare.

I have a MacBook Pro that measures 10x14 inches and it fits fine. You may be able to get a slightly larger laptop inside, but not much larger.

Yes it can withstand your 17'' Macbook Pro, it is very steady, depending on how to use it, if you just need your laptop to just sit on it, then, this is perfect.

I am not familiar with this laptop so I do not know whether it would fit. I can say that it fits a 13-in. MacBook Pro with room to spare. It should be fine for 15-in., 17-in. or even larger laptops. There is a lip on the top shelf that prevents the laptop from slipping off. A very large laptop might extend over the sides, but it would still rest securely on the shelf.

I used this bag as a carry-on on a recent trip and my 15" macbook fit in it with no problem. It was in a protective padded sleeve (bag has no padding).

No, I have a 13 inch macbook pro and it fits snug. A 15.6 inch laptop definitely won't fit. Especially if it's a Windows laptop. Windows laptops seem to be a bit thicker than MacBooks.

Yes. The bag is bigger than you might imagine. My 17 inch macbook pro fits in snug and securely

Well I put my 13" Macbook in here and it fit just right, along with TopCop I don't believe it will hold a 15" Macbook Pro.

I have put my 17" MacBook Pro (a pretty heavy laptop) on it, and handled it well. It's lip will probably keep a laptop from sliding off as long as the laptop isn't widely rounded on the bottom front (and maybe even if it is).

I guess it boils down to how snug is "snug". Yes there is a separate compartment for laptops and I know my 15" retina macbook pro fits in there but it's not "tight" and will move around slightly. The compartment is well padded so I feel the computer is safe in there. Unless you buy an expensive fitted case made specifically for your brand of laptop, all these cases will fit the same since they are designed to accommodate all types of laptops. This is a great case in design and construction and I have had zero problems with it in my travels. Hope this helps.

I think soMy 13.5" mbp is what I get in there. There is quite a bit of room to get it past the Zipper but not much more. It may be a tight squeeze in the "laptop pocket" but no problem in the other spots.Good luck

I have a 15" Macbook Pro, It fits but its a tight fit, and you probably wont be able to put many other things into the main pocket of the bag. I returned mine because it is so small. Also as previous people mentioned this bag is not meant to carry a laptop.

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.

Yes it would certainly fit in there. My suggestion would be to place some clothing or other type of padding underneath the laptop for additional protection. The top bag holds more than you would expect...
