why does the "padded, internal sleeve" for the laptop billow out to take up nearly the entire main compartment?

The laptop pocket isnt that bad actually. Thinly padded, its really just more of a divider. It's a good bag. I used my on patrol to hokd a laptop, notebooks, and a bunch of misc. gear.

My solution was to stick Velcro on the bottom of my laptop and on the desk. I used the soft side on my laptop, which hasn't affected me carrying it or placing it on other surfaces. It only took two little pieces and the problem was solved.

I do it all the time. It fits two 14" laptops, each over 1" thick, easily with the sleeve removed.

There are tabs, do all of the tabs one at a time, put something in between the case and the frame of the laptop, like a folded piece of paper or coin. Once all tabs are lifted there will be nothing holding it on.

The bottom has almost no padding on it. You have to remember this when you put your laptop in the bag. You can't just slam the laptop in like it's a book, you have to gently put it in there. Also, you cannot just drop the bag down, you have to carefully put it down so you do not damage the laptop. I have had this for a year and haven't had any problems.

A laptop might zip up in there. It's not padded like a laptop backpack. I use mine for HVAC work. I'm pretty rough on my stuff and it seams to be very durable. I can measure it for you tomorrow

I have a Gateway & Toshiba, both 17" monitors, they both fit. I would say the sleeve is snug, but in a good way. There is plenty of stretch. And I'd rather have it snug than sliding around in the darn thing anyway. The whole idea is to keep things secure. Sliding does not equal secure. Neither in Laptop sleeves or undergarments.

There is nothing holding the laptop in place. It basically just sits in the case free style.

Blows into it, since there is no way to pull air through the laptop keyboard. It has been going full time since last year, because I never shut off my laptop, until I do a restart to install updates.

Almost over the entire notebook, about 1/3 of an inch is uncovered, which makes it convenient to pull out IMO

My husband has a 17.3 laptop which he carries in his without any problem. It doesn't come with padding to protect it though.

Well thickness wise maybe. Exsctly how thick? The size of the comp worries me though, the stand is close to the siZe of a hand palm, i think a full size laptop is too much for it

...the main pocket is a bit smaller than I'd hoped. You might be able to slip the laptop into the rear sleeve intended for the straps, but this sleeve cannot be zipped shut.

Charlie, The laptop slips into the top flap portion of the bag. It would essentially go into the bag end first and would be lying against your back. The end that slipped in first (bottom when in place) rests on and next to the padded camera compartment in the bottom of the bag. The inner construction of the flap top pouch creates a sleeve-like gap. I use the space for my iPad and Kindle but have also used it for my 13" macbook pro. I hope this description makes sense and was helpful to you.

I just took my Acer 13 inch Ultrabook out to the bike and tried to fit it into the Topeak bag. Nope. Too small for the laptop. I have separately thought of also buying a side bag attachment for items like that...

It gets kind of heavy with a laptop and a couple binders. I could only carry my laptop, one binder and one book before it started getting too heavy.

There's a spot designated inside for your laptop and it dies have a Velcro strap. The spot is a little big for a thin laptop like a MacBook (which is what I use it for) but it's a fantastic bag!
