Measure the screen of your laptop from bottom left to top right, then look for a computer bag that fits this size.
Most laptop sizes will be either 13, 15 or 17 inches. You’ll want a bag with a zippered pocket laptop compartment that protects your size the best.
For example:
- Your Apple MacBook Air measures 13 inches. Get a laptop sleeve that fits up to 13 inch laptops.
- Your Macbook Pro or Chromebook measures 16 inches. Get a computer bag that fits up to 17 inch laptops.
Look for a product that specifically states it fits a ‘X inch laptop’. Bonus points if it’s TSA compliant and in a padded sleeve too!
