A 17 inch laptop is bigger and heavier than a standard one, so its bag needs a wide padded compartment, enough depth and comfortable straps that carry it all day. Every bag here has a sleeve for a laptop up to 17 inches, and some, like TrailEase Elite and Kynthera Edge, fit up to 17.3 inches. There are compact bags for a workday, like the 20 liter SkyGlider at 500 g (1.1 lb), and large travel bags, like the 55 liter Kronyx Advanced. Many have a USB port and a strap that slides over your suitcase handle.
How to choose a bag for a 17 inch laptop
First check that the compartment fits a laptop of at least 17 inches. If yours is 17.3 inches, look for a 17.3 inch sleeve, like those in TrailEase Elite or Kynthera Edge. Then choose a volume: 20 liters is enough for a laptop, charger and documents, and 30 to 35 liters leaves room for clothes for a day or two. Check the straps and back panel too: a big laptop is felt on the shoulders, and padded straps and a breathable back make a difference on a long day.
Compact for work or large for travel
For a day at the office, 18 to 20 liter bags like RoamPack Edge and The Noir Edge 20L work well, with two main compartments and an external USB port. For travel, choose a larger bag with separate compartments: Gravion 35L has a separate ventilated shoe compartment, and Inthyros Quantum opens a full 180 degrees and has a TSA lock and a separate shoe compartment. Quinox Platinum comes in two sizes, 40 liters for laptops up to 16 inches and 45 liters for laptops up to 17 inches.
Flying with a 17 inch laptop
SkyGlider 20L measures 40 x 25 x 20 cm (15.7 x 9.8 x 7.9 in), sized for Ryanair, and fits a laptop up to 17 inches. You can carry it as a backpack or a side bag, and it slides onto your suitcase handle. Electron 45L, with vacuum compression, works as a carry-on and expands from 36 to 45 liters, so board with it unexpanded. And if you want leather, The Anchovie Pro is made of genuine leather with 6 storage compartments.
