A:Answer For me, I have a 15.6” laptop and I had to make an adjustment to the laptop compartment part of the backpack. Since I really like the overall built of the backpack I decided to buy it. A 16” laptop can definitely fit in this backpack as long as you make this one adjustment which was to cut the bottom of the laptop compartment to make more room for the length of the laptop. Overall no problems with the backpack. I can put my laptop into a case(which is way more longer and larger than my 15.6” laptop) and still fit it into the laptop compartment and close the backpack nicely. Just be aware of how lengthy the case of the laptop is.
AND by the photo, you can see my adjustment to the backpack, which did not take a lot of time. Just cut it through and you should be good!!!
