Just got a new 17.3" HP Laptop for my work and needed a good carry bag for it. Was drawn to this one as it had one feature that many do not: the ability to expand. There are times I travel overnight and need to pack light and this intrigued me. Upon arrival I pulled it out and was impressed with the material and workmanship. It looks nice and professional. Two of the zippers seemed stiff but running them a few times loosened them up just fine. Not too heavy (which is important as these 17" lappies can weigh quite a bit, but I like the extra screen space!). Lots of pockets for work 'stuff' of different sizes and the lappie fit in just fine: not too snug and not too loose. I read that some think there should be more padding; however, this one seems quite similar in padding to the many I've had over the years. As I hoped, the unit is great as it came; however, the ability to expand makes this an even better buy as you get a lot of extra room for things which would allow me to basically turn this into my carry-on for those quick overnighters. I also love that the shoulder strap can be removed as many similar units for sale don't have that feature. I'm giving it 5 stars for durability and sturdiness as it seems quite capable to the touch and is sewn together well (no threads or missed stitches, etc. The handles have a leatherette covering over the fabric that seems nice; however, I'll be watching it as I prefer just the hard-sewn fabric as sometimes material like this drys and cracks too easily. I'll update if things change; however, for the price, seems like a great buy and I hope it outlasts the laptop and can, like my previous one, go for at least two cycles for me.

I bought the XXL version and followed the instructions that came with the package: open it and let it rest for a couple of days BEFORE using it so it has time to expand to its advertised size... even though I felt tempted to use it before that time... I did however take the cover off and let the bitch test it w/o the foam as if it were just a blanket and she loved it, also ended up using only the Comy Canvas size for a reason explained below in the "Cons" (check it out). I bought this bed to use it inside a metal wire dog crate that had the same dimensions and it fit just perfectly. The bitch did pee once on the bed "because", the foam didn't get wet so the waterproof seems to work just fine. The cover comes with washing instructions so I followed them and it was just fine, it didn't come apart in the washing machine or the drying machine.So far I had it for only 9 days but here is what I have to say about it:Pros:The dimensions was exactly as stated in the product description 48"x30"x3".The Deluxe polyester AKA the "softer and warmer" side feels very soft and the bitch loved it.The fabric of the cover feels very high quality for the price.There is a small covering at the end of the zipper line to cover the zipper head underneath so the dog cant see it and prevents the dog from pulling it, chewing it, opening the zipper, etc.The foam inside the cover is protected with a plastic cover to water proof it, it has its own zipper.Can easily rip off the washing instructions w/o damaging the cover.The foam can be easily replaced by whatever you want if one day you desire to.The foam is soft but sturdy enough for a 46lbs dog so it does not completely sink when on top, the experience might be different with a heavier dog but worst case scenario you can just get a foam that suits your particular needs.Can be washed on a washing machine.Can be dried on a drying machine.My bitch really likes to sleep on it.Cons:The zipper head is a bit difficult to push into the zipper cover at the end of the line, I recommend using something like an ice-cream wooden or plastic stick to push it in a bit until the zipper head thread to pull it out is at least flush with the cover so the dog cant spot it and start pulling on it. I push the threat a little bit further and just use a tweezer to pull the thread out a bit so I can pull it.The Deluxe polyester side although feeling great may not be good for dogs that like to chew or pull it, my bitch began to pull it a minute after she was laying on top of it so I had to reverse her bed and have only allowed her to use it on the Comy Canvas "Cool" side since then. I don't know if the material is hazardous or if the strands are long enough to pose a threat to a dogs intestines but I decided not to put that to the test, so If you decide to use the warmer side make sure you pay attention to your dog as soon as he begins to use it until at least from 30min to 1hr, and from time to time check on your dog.The plastic cover for the foam has a strong new-plastic smell, I found it a bit intrusive but my bitch could care less.Overall I like it and my bitch seems to like it too, so I 100% recommend it to anyone.
