I just bought this bag but to my dismay it doesn’t fit my 17″ widescreen laptop (Dell Inspirion 9400). It seems that the only crumpler bag that will fit this bag is the McBains XL which is one of the side bags. I’m a bit dissappointed because I really liked the formal lounge and it has room my dlsr.. it’s also very comfortable. But it’s going back to the shop for now .

If anyone has any reccommendations for other laptop backpacks that would great. The dimensions of my laptop are:

Width: 394 mm,
Depth: 288 mm,
Height: 41.5 mm

There are two loops on the side of the bag (one is just visible in the first photo, on the right) which could be used to attached a tripod to but there’s no dedicated strap and it might flop about a bit.

This sounds just what I am looking for but I would like to be able to hang my tripod from it somehow. Do you think this might be possibe somehow?

I agree with your opinion of their website. You have shown me more of the inside of this bag than they show. Thanks

Hey! That’s my bag

I use this for bike rides and my 350D – the top part it great for snacks, drinks, gloves and other apparel, while I can fit my cam, a 200mm lens and my WA len in the photo compartment. The padding also means it’s rather comfortable, even when fully laden.
