The computer was a 13" Macbook Pro and, believe it or not, I also brought an iPad! (see this post for details about that).

When in the Aeronaut, both were housed in a Brenthaven Edge I Sleeve, which is a fairly structured and padded sleeve/laptop case combo. The Brenthaven sleeve is just slightly wider than the opening of the main compartment of the Aeronaut-- and I would place it on top of the other contents by sliding it into the compartment one side at a time. The back-pressure from the clothing would generally push the case flush with the top of the compartment and prevent it from sliding around. One of the Aeronaut's side compartments held my cables and power adapters (my toiletries were in the other).

This was a pretty good arrangement for me and, when checking the bag or accessing the laptop became necessary, I found it was very easy to pull out of the Aeronaut.
Thanks. Would the notebook or iPad fit in the end pockets of the Aeronaut if they weren't in the other bag? Thanks again, and welcome to Flyertalk!
