Would Osprey Farpoint-40 rucksack fit (onto laptop sleeve) 17 inch laptop?
I have done some reading around different rucksacks pros and cons and now considering on buying Osprey Farpoint 40.
The only thing that keeps bothering me is, I am not sure if it will fit my 17'' inch laptop (Alienware 17). Since this is quite a common rucksack I was wondering if anyone has tried to shove one into the sleeve before me, and what her experiences were.

Best Answer
This review claims
A laptop pocket will handle up to a 17” laptop
I saw similar claims on the Amazon product page. But the manual claims the laptop sleeve to be
Inches 14h x 11w x 1.5d
which in theory could house a 17" screen since it's 17.8" diagonally but real world 17" laptops are 16" or above in height with a 11" width.
The Alienware 17 however is 17.9 x 12.9 x 2.26-2.23 inches which is far, far bigger than this size. This old CNN review concedes it's closer to a 18" laptop in fact:
the Alienware 17 desktop replacement gaming laptop is not all that much smaller than the 18-inch Alienware 18version we recently reviewed
