Pink Laptop Bags For Girls

Filed under: Featured,Laptop Bags — Tags: , , , , — admin @ 3:24 pm

Most girls love the color pink. Pink laptop bags make great gifts for girly girls. Most technology stuff is so user unfriendly. Laptops fit into this category. What better way to make a girl happy than to choose a pink laptop and matching bag?

Finding a bag that is pink is not as hard as it sounds. Most major laptop manufacturers these days are into color coordinating covers and accessories. You can match a usb mouse, speakers, external hard drive and many other accessories. Now you can have everything in pink, not just your computer. I would just like to point out that boys might not like a pink computer or bag or accessories, so even if you can get a deep discount, don’t do it. Repainting is not an option people. Anyway, as always, there are some things to keep in mind when looking for a bag for your notebook that will apply regardless of color, pink or otherwise.

As I said, most computer manufacturers have matching accessories including bags on their websites. Unless you are buying your pink laptop bags from a computer manufacturer, you need to adhere to some guidelines. First and foremost is the size of the computer. If you have one of those new computers with those beautiful 17 inch screens, you will need a large bag. The bag should also have pockets for the power supply, external hard drive, CD or DVD compartments, space for books, etc. If you are not particularly strong, you should also choose a lightweight bag or you’ll leave the bag behind because it is just too heavy for daily use. If you are going to use the bag daily and need to tote it around all day, consider getting a bag with wheels on it. You don’t know how much this helps. Having wheels on your bag means the weight is on the ground, not on your shoulders. If you weigh 100 pounds soaking wet, you don’t want to be carrying a bag that weighs 15 pounds on your shoulders all day.

So if you are a girl going to school and pink is your favorite color, rest assured, there are pink laptop bags for girls out there and you can get a pink laptop to match!

Cheap Laptop Bags Are Not Always A Bargain

Filed under: Cheap Laptop Bags,Featured,Laptop Bags — Tags: , , , — admin @ 4:04 pm

Cheap laptop bags are good for some purposes but you should consider upgrading if your needs warrant it. If you are just trying to keep your laptop from getting dusty then a cheap bag will do nicely. Personally, I have a wide variety of bags for each kind of situation. If I am going on a trip, I will select a hard laptop case with plenty of padding. You never know what may happen, especially if you fly. If you use your laptop exclusively at home and you are looking to keep it new and undamaged, pretty much any bag will do.

Most cheap laptop bags are made of ballistic nylon. If you go the cheap route, make sure that the bag has a soft insert. This is critical. If your bag does not have a smooth surface on the inside, you will create tiny scratches on the exterior of your computer. Over time, these tiny scratches will accumulate and the finish of the computer will look dull and will seriously degrade the resale value. A little caution here can save you lots of aggravation later. I know this personally because I have a laptop that looks like I rubbed it with sandpaper because of a cheap bag. You don’t want to make the same mistake, trust me.

There are advantages to having several bags to choose from. Generally, cheap laptop bags don’t bother with things like metal clips for shoulder straps, padding to prevent damage and are really flimsy. This has a side benefit. These bags usually are very light. Light weight is good. After carrying a laptop everywhere for hours, your arms can feel like they are about to fall off. So you see, although I don’t like to go cheap often, there are some advantages to having a bag that is light, especially if you are a careful person and if you are going to carry the computer all day with you. Light and cheap have their place too, just make sure you don’t drop the bag, especially if you are outside. Concrete and laptops don’t make good partners.

17” Laptop Bags are For Serious Laptops

Filed under: Laptop Bags,Laptop Computer Cases — Tags: , , , , , — admin @ 12:21 pm

If you have a 17 inch laptop, you need to look at good 17” laptop bags if you are going to carry it around with you. Why do I emphasize the quality of the bag here? The reason is simple and may be obvious to you, but I’ll say it here. A 17 inch laptop will be heavy and most likely be expensive. If you have a heavy laptop, you’ll need a bag with lots of padding inside. The padding can make a big difference if you drop the bag.

Most laptop bag manufacturers have drop specifications. They basically guarantee that a drop from x number of feet will not damage the laptop. I would recommend a 4 foot guarantee at a minimum. This will assure you that the bag has adequate protection for your computer in the event of an unfortunate incident. Imagine dropping a $2,000 computer and shattering the lcd screen. This is not something you want to happen and you should take steps to protect your investment. Even if the computer is not worth much, your data certainly is. If you are a computer professional, you already know that when looking for 17” laptop bags, protection is a top consideration.

If you travel frequently, I would suggest a bag with rolling hardware or a shoulder strap. Shoulder straps are great for relieving the stress from your hand. If you routinely carry lots of things in addition to your computer, consider getting a bag with wheels. If you get a bag from a reputable manufacturer, there will be other thoughtful touches. There should be dedicated places to put optical discs, peripherals such as cables and external usb devices like usb mice or usb memory sticks. All these little refinements can make life much easier and you should look at everything when selecting your computer bag.

You may have a smaller computer than the 17” laptop bags are designed for. Maybe your computer has a 15” screen. It is OK to go larger, getting a smaller bag is the problem. Always get a bag that fits your largest laptop and one that has room for expansion. You never know what the future will bring.

Laptop Computer Bags – How To Choose?

redK Laptop Bags

Laptop computer bags are everywhere, so how do I choose the right one for me? There are a few considerations when selecting a bag for your laptop. The first and most important step is what kind of bag style suits you? Are you looking for a bag that can hold lots of things, not just a laptop? Are you looking for a bag that is only made for laptops? How about format? Are you a backpack kind of person? Do you want a designer bag? Materials are also important. There are many materials in use from ballistic nylon to plush leather. Once your mind is made up as to what kind of bag, backpack or shoulder strap, leather, nylon or other material, there are other things you need to consider.

If you go to a store to look for laptop computer bags, make sure you take your computer with you. Now this may seem obvious, but you would really be surprised at how many people go out and buy a laptop bag on impulse without even considering the size and weight of the laptop or notebook. Most bags designed especially for portable computers are size specific. What that means is you aren’t going to buy the same bag for a 12 inch notebook that you would for a 17 inch unit. They are very different in terms of construction and weight and, of course, size. OK, assuming that you have the laptop with you, try it out in a variety of bags. Is there room for your charger/power supply? Is there room for other accessories? Most of the time, you’ll want to bring a book, your power supply, maybe an extra battery. Make sure that you can fit all these things in without the bag looking like a lumpy mess. Also, if you are not very careful with your things or will be traveling frequently, make sure that the bag is well padded. Dropping your laptop in a bag without side and bottom cushions will almost always result in damage to your computer.

As you can see, choosing from available laptop computer bags is not as simple as picking the first bag you see and leaving. There are things that you should not do without. Keep these guidelines in mind before you shop.

Leather Computer Bags – What Should I Look For?

Filed under: Featured,Laptop Bags — Tags: , , , — admin @ 12:40 pm

I love leather computer bags. Leather is so cool, it smells good, looks great, wears well, oh, did I say I love leather? If leather is not for you, stop reading this. There are many reasons to choose a leather bag. They are stylish and look good. I am talking about real leather of course. Don’t go skimpy on me and buy plastic disguising as leather. Yikes, that’s just in bad taste. Your computer deserves to be well pampered. Yes, they are as temperamental as a small dog so treat them well. Make sure your laptop is happy in its new home by selecting the right home for it. You should allow adequate room to breathe, but at the same time, there should be a method to securely fasten the computer so it does not move around the bag during transit. You wouldn’t want your baby to get a scratch, would you? Of course not, so make sure there is adequate fastening and padding as some of these leather computer bags are great on style and zero on function.

Speaking of function, you do know that the bag is supposed to hold and protect the laptop, right? Yes, leather is beautiful, but if the bag is for your computer, it should have some necessary features or don’t bother no matter how nice the bag. First thing’s first and the inner compartment for the notebook should have padding on all sides to absorb impacts from accidental bumps and falls. The inner compartment of any bag made for a portable computer should be stiff to protect the screen from an accidental kick or bump.

Your bag should also fit all your other stuff. The computer charger or power supply should always go with you. If you don’t need anything else, then you’re good to go. Don’t assume that you have enough battery power to last you until you get home because trust me on this, you won’t. Nothing is a bigger downer than having inspiration strike and having a dead battery. I told you so, so be smart and take the power supply with you. Leather computer bags should be stylish but they should always be functional and do the job you bought them for.
