I've got one carry-on, which I know is ok. It conforms to the 9X14X22. I'm also told I can additionally take a laptop. My laptop is rather big (17" screen) and it came with a backpack as a carrying case. It's not one of those huge hiking backpacks or anything, but it is rather big. I can fit the laptop and a lot more in it.

Can I get away without checking anything? I'd really appreciate some quick info on this. Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. Thanks.
