miss-k | tried both...results are in! on Sep 04, 2009 @ 03:09 am
I've done it both ways.
I have a tote bag made by Dickies from 2 years ago from Best Buy that is an actual laptop bag. It holds my big 15.4" screen perfectly, standing on it's side. (mine has the fat battery too!) 2 years of bus rides, long hours at school and it's still holding up. It has a couple compartments for your other stuff and enough extra space for a couple books.
The main downfall with this is when I don't need my laptop, the compartment is still there so I can't put anything oddly shaped in my bag.
The other way is a big bag with a laptop sleeve. Make sure to get a bag with sturdy enough handles otherwise they're going to rip off. I'd skip any handles that are attached by a metal loop, I doubt they can handle weight like that for a long time. If you can, I'd bring your computer with you to make sure it fits or just grab a sleeve that fits your computer and try to put it in the bag to make sure things are going to fit. So far the downfall is that I had to spend extra money on the computer sleeve and that I have to put that on and zip it before running out of class to my next one, but it's great to have a big pretty bag with me. I got mine at Access.
Nine West made some really great laptop type bags, comes with a removable laptop sleeve already.
Good luck searching! |

Thanks for all your suggestions - going to check out Nine West bags :) Good tip about the metal loops - would most definitely rip off! |
