Briefcase Laptop Bags <\/strong>Briefcases have had a place in business for a long time and are designed for carrying by the handles. The briefcase style backpack bags are lightweight and usually offer a very professional look and feel which is perfect for meetings and conferences. The briefcase laptop bags are also great for travel however they generally don\u2019t have as much storage room as a backpack so you need to look for one with more compartments. \u00a0Ensure it has enough room for your laptop, accessories and any work or books you need to carry. Have a look at the\u00a0AmazonBasics 14-Inch Laptop and Tablet Bag<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Laptop Sleeves <\/strong>Laptop Sleeves are perfect when only want to carry your laptop without lugging around all your other gear. They look similar to a pencil case and are usually made from Neoprene which was originally developed for wet suits. The rubbery neoprene provides great padding by itself or when placed inside another laptop bags that may not offer enough protection. There is also a wide range of hard shell cases available offering even more protection for your valuable laptop or tablet. Can be combined with other styles to offer more padding and security. Have a look at the\u00a0Kitron-Neoprene Soft Sleeve Case<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Rolling Laptop Bags<\/strong> Rolling laptop bags are fantastic for travel and help you to carry larger laptop and more equipment. Perfect for business travelers as they can combine a laptop bag with a day pack so you only need to carry (wheel) one set of luggage. These bags offer more storage but the wheels mean they are usually heavier that the other styles of laptop bags. When buying a rolling laptop bag ensure you get a model with spinner wheels that freely rotate 360 degrees meaning the bag is easier to\u00a0steer while on the move.\u00a0Amazon<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0have a great selection of rolling laptop bags.<\/p>\n

What size laptop bag should you get?<\/h2>\n

When selecting your perfect laptop bag you need to ensure your laptop fits into it. It is good t have a nice tight fitting to avoid the bag moving when in transit which can cause damage. You also do not want to have the laptop too tight which may cause the bag to stretch and possibly tear over time. After selecting the style of you bag and he you are going to use it the next step it to identify exactly how big your laptop is. Knowing the measurements of your laptop is essential in choosing the right laptop bag. First you need to measure your screen size and then measure the height width and depth of your laptop.<\/p>\n

How to measure laptop size for bag?<\/h2>\n

How to measure\u00a0the screen size? <\/strong>\"GRACESHIP<\/strong>When measuring your laptop screen size you need to only measure the actual screen and not the bezel surrounding the screen, that said sometimes on older models of laptops the bezel could add a few inches which need to be considered. To correctly measure your laptop screen you need to use a tape measure from the bottom left corner of the screen diagonally to the top right corner. Most laptop bags provide use the screen size when advertising how big the laptop bag is. If your screen measures 15 inches then you should look for a bag capable of holding this and maybe allow an extra inch. Remember that screen size alone doesn\u2019t mean your 15 inch laptop will fit into a bag advertised as 15\u2033. Please do not forget to measure height, width and depth of your laptop as well.<\/p>\n

How to measure the height?<\/strong> To measure the height of your laptop it is required to be closed. Use your measuring tape and measure from the bottom to the top of the laptop. this is usually easiest to do from the side of the laptop.<\/p>\n

How to measure the width?<\/b> The width of your laptop is also best measured when the laptop screen is closed. With the laptop facing you measure from the left of the laptop to the right of the laptop.<\/p>\n

How to measure the depth? <\/strong>The depth of the the laptop is an indication of how long or deep it is when you are looking at it.\u00a0Close the laptop and measure from the front of the laptop to the back. I would suggest measuring both sides to ensure you get accurate measurements.<\/p>\n

Once you have measured the screen size and the length, width and depth of your laptop you need to look for laptop bags that match that measurements. Remember sometime slightly bigger is better depending on the type of bag you are choosing.<\/p>\n

How to choose the right size Laptop Bag?<\/h2>\n

After you have correctly measured your laptop screen, height, width and depth it is time to look for laptop bags that meet these dimensions. The dimensions you have measured are the minimum required for your laptop bag to fit. It is unlikely you will find a bag fitting exactly those measurements unless it is specifically designed for your laptop model. this is probably more common\u00a0for popular items like Macbooks or Chromebooks. Laptops have many different sizes and as a result laptop bags have been designed to cater for as many models as possible. Most laptop bags manufacturer advertise the size of the laptop the bag will fit up to.<\/p>\n

A laptop bag advertised as 15\u2033 will generally fit all laptops up to that size, It is almost certain a 16\u2033 laptop will not fit into a 15\u2033 bag. Alternatively you would buy a 19\u2033 laptop bag for your 15\u2033 laptop as there would be too much movement that could damage the laptop. As a rule of thumb I would suggest rounding to the nearest size when choosing a bag this will guarantee it will fit and also be reasonably snug. The manufacturers website will generally provide the full internal dimensions of the bag which will help you confirm your bag will fit snugly.<\/p>\n

Make sure it isn\u2019t too big as the laptop will slide around and be damaged while too small will ultimately damage the bag itself by stretching.Make sure you also consider the other storage compartments you may require. If you travel a lot you may need a backpack style laptop bag that has an internal sleeve for your laptop but still allows other clothing and accessories.<\/p>\n

What type of storage do I need?<\/h2>\n

When deciding how much storage compartments you require you first need to decide how and where you are going to use the bag. If traveling you may want to safely carry luggage as well as your laptop, tablet or camera. Do not forget your laptop battery!!! when making calculations. Most the better laptop bags available offer a wide variety of compartments and pockets. These include\u00a0mesh pockets, zipped pockets and other areas that are designed specifically to carry your gear.<\/p>\n

You can get compartments that fit you tablet, cell phone, keys, passport, \u00a0pens and even your sunglasses.Make sure any bag you buy has enough compartments for your everyday use. Backpacks and Rolling Laptop bags will generally offer more storage capacity and can be used as carry on luggage or as a day pack. This adds additional weight that you need to carry (or wheel) to your destination. Laptop sleeves usually have minimal storage options.<\/p>\n

Laptop Travel Tips<\/h2>\n

<\/a> When looking for the perfect laptop bag for your next business\u00a0trip or vacation you need to look at a few factors. Our suggestion is to look for a laptop backpack or even a rolling bag which are perfect for traveling and easy to move from destination to destination. Most travelers have quite a lot of accessories and being able to fit them all into one easy to carry bag is ideal. Look for bags that easily fit your laptop as well as\u00a0DSL cameras<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You also possibly need room for some clothing, passports, tickets and other accessories. If you are a frequent traveler it might be worth looking at TSA friendly bags which do not need to be opened at security. Some models offer RFID protection of your electronic cards.
