If you have just bought a beautiful new MacBook, you obviously don’t want it to get damaged. Of course, you cannot avoid the fact that some signs of wear will be visible at some point, but that is far from a major scratch or dent. Especially if you take your MacBook to work or school every day, it is important to ensure that it is well protected.
You can do this by using a sleeve, but a laptop bag is also an option. Because we often see that not everyone knows what to look out for, we would like to share some useful tips with you. A bag that is too big for your MacBook is not good, but neither is a bag that is too small. So if you have a MacBook or are planning to purchase one, read our tips carefully so that you know for sure what you should pay attention to.
Format
The size of your laptop bag is crucial. A bag that is too large will not provide enough protection and your MacBook could slide around in it. A bag that is too small will force your MacBook into it. Therefore, measure the dimensions of your MacBook in advance, including its thickness if you have it in a case. Make sure to leave an inch or two of space on all sides for extra protection.
Material
In addition to the size and a number of other practical things you should pay attention to (which you can read later in this article), the eye also wants something. Therefore, think carefully about the material the bag is made of. If you are looking for a suitable bag for the office, choose one luxury laptop bag for your MacBook made of leather.
Leather gives a slightly more luxurious look than a fabric bag. Although we increasingly see that casual is fine in the office, there are certain positions where this is not desirable. In that case, it is better to opt for a luxurious laptop bag for your MacBook.
Layout
A good layout is important to keep your MacBook safe. See if the bag has pockets for your charger, mouse, and other accessories. This prevents them from sliding around in the bag and damaging your MacBook. A padded compartment for your MacBook is a must. This ensures that your MacBook is well protected against bumps and shocks. Additional zippered pockets can be useful for storing valuables such as your phone or important cards.
Way of wearing
The way you carry the bag also affects the protection of your MacBook. A backpack distributes the weight more evenly over your shoulders, so you are less likely to suffer from neck and shoulder problems. A shoulder bag is more convenient if you don’t have to take much with you. Be careful not to overfill the bag, so that your MacBook does not become trapped.
Sleeve or laptop bag
A sleeve is a thin cover that protects your MacBook against scratches and dirt. It’s ideal if you only take your MacBook to a meeting or to a café. A laptop bag offers more protection because it often has extra padding and compartments for accessories. If you take your MacBook with you every day, a laptop bag is the best choice.
