Leather Laptop Bags For Your Portable Computer

Filed under: Leather Laptop Bags — Tags: , , , , , , , — admin @ 2:57 pm

If you are a high-tech road warrior, you can add a little style with leather laptop bags. Leather bags add a touch of class to your portable computing experience. There are many types of leather and fake leather so be careful in your choice. Leather looks nice and wears well. The softer the leather, the less durable it is likely to be. Bags like this designed specifically to house your laptop come in some nice colors. One of the most popular colors is, as you may have guessed, black. Basic black is always good for business situations. Avoid large metal hardware as you may accidentally scratch and or damage your computer’s case or screen.

Leather has a great appearance, but the fact that it is soft is a potential problem for your portable computer. Laptop cases typically have lots of reinforcement to prevent damage during transit. This is especially important if you are going anywhere near an airport. If you are checking the bag, rest assured those bag handlers will be tossing your computer all about the place, that much is certain. Anyone who checks a leather laptop bag is really asking for trouble. Make sure you take that bag with you on the plane. Keeping that in mind, make sure the bag is not too large to go on a plane if you travel frequently by air.

So what are the important factors to look at when choosing from all available leather laptop bags out there? Number one is use. If you travel a lot and you have a lot to carry, a rolling bag is your best option. If you want a little style and don’t intend to rough up your computer, then leather is a good option. The drawback is potentially less protection for your portable computer. Leather is soft so it needs to be reinforced with panels inside to provide an effective barrier from the elements. These panels can be made of anything from wood to composite resin materials which are strong and light and expensive. As I’ve said before, when you go out shopping, please bring your computer with you because nothing is more embarrassing than coming home with a bag that doesn’t fit your computer.

Is A Leather Laptop Briefcase Right For You?

Are you a serious business person? Do you have high-end clients? If you are and you do, a leather laptop briefcase might just be the thing for you. There are many advantages to having your laptop in a briefcase. First of all, most briefcases look very similar in appearance. This means that unless you choose to divulge the fact that a portable computer is in the case, no one will know that it is there. Most of us are not covert operatives so this might not seem as an advantage, but for everyday use, with all things being equal, a computer is much less likely to be taken if nobody knows it is there.

Why choose a leather laptop briefcase? Well, there are many reasons. First off, leather is very attractive in appearance. Most business people have leather briefcases. You will be much less conspicuous if you aren’t carrying a molded aluminum briefcase. As far as laptops go, a briefcase is a very good option. This is because they are usually well constructed with stiff inner panels which make for excellent impact protection which is great if you’re a laptop. If you intend to go this route weight might just be a consideration here. Keep in mind that a 17” multimedia computer will weigh at least 7 or 8 pounds just by itself. Add a power adapter, some discs, and the weight of the briefcase itself, and you can have a really heavy briefcase that may be difficult to carry. In this case, I recommend a small notebook that weighs no more than 4 pounds and a small extra battery to cut down on weight.

There are also other considerations when choosing a case for your notebook. Most well-built cases have a main compartment for the laptop and padding all around the compartment so it is well protected. The padding should be removable so you can add or subtract padding inserts for different sized laptops. When you decide to shop for your leather laptop briefcase, just make sure that you bring your laptop with you. Put the laptop in the case and make sure that there is room for everything and that the protective inserts are doing their job. Your computer should not be able to jiggle around and should be firmly secured.

Laptop Computer Bags – How To Choose?

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.
