For my Lenovo T430s (with standard battery) I have tried many cases, but all were a little too big to fit on one page in my backpack. This Dicota now sits perfectly! Very practical is the large side pocket, in that I can carry my external 2.5 "HD. With the neoprene it is so far not yet ausgeleiert.Im Unlike many other neoprene bags, my Dicota has not smelled unpleasant.
