That was, unfortunately, very often noticed in my search for a suitable bag, which is named by the reviewers rarely the dimensions are, or at least the model of their notebook, so here my information: Acer Aspire V3-771 (17.3 ") , 415 x 275 x 35 mm. The laptop fits well in the pocket and you still have room for the odds and ends in the various subjects. The laptop compartment is sufficiently padded in all directions. The shoulder strap is adjustable, but not removable. In addition, a carrying handle at the top is attached. The photos fooled a little bit about the color of the bag. The is actually much stronger and not so pale. The bag is well made and leaves an impression of high quality.
Conclusion: I would highly recommend the pocket. I like it. :)
