This 16" bag is perfect for a 15.9" laptop. It holds all the cables that you need for your laptop and more. The padding inside does protect the equipment for sure, and is lined with a soft material so it wont scratch your laptop. Everki are a quality made bag which I've never had a problem with as of yet. My partner and I have Everki brand laptop bags for all owe equipment. Over all they look great, feel great and do the job that it is intended to do. I bought this for my 16" Wacom. Although it fits, it is a bit to snug for my liking, so I purchased the 17" bag (same bag but bigger) like I said, if you have a 15.9 inch laptop this bag is perfect!
