XPS BACKPACK DE-8300-02F00_+ ASUS G73JH
I made a little photo essay of the xps backpack. It may look strained at the top when closed, but it is nowhere near as tight as my samsonite was. Although it fit in the compartment made for the notebook, I did have to keep it outside of the actual slim sleeve/pocket that has the clip-strap. That slim pocket part was much too tight for my liking, and would require compression on the notebook. However the rest of that same compartment fits the notebook in it nicely with plenty of side padding as well as the bottom pad to keep it from moving or getting impacted.. The only snug part is the top frame when zipped. Though it shows the outline of the notebook's corners, in my opinion it is not compressing hard like my samsonite was, and may even adjust after a break-in period.
