Can a 17 inch laptop fit in a backpack?

Hi all, basically as the title reads.

I just got a new gaming laptop, and its a 17 inch beast! My previous bag was advertised as being able to hold up to 17 inch laptops, but didnt cut it.

I need a bag that you can say from PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE you know 100% can fit a 17 inch laptop, maybe with a bit of space as mine has quite large bezels.

Also a little bit of room for a few college books would help.

Many thanks!

I just used a standard [padded] back pack for my laptop. It should fit just about any sized laptop. Head over to your local Office Depot and check them out [then purchase one elsewhere].
