When you have yourself a laptop, naturally you’ll look for a laptop bag that you like. Buying a Laptop bag is as important as buying a laptop. Pick the kind of laptop bag you are most comfortable using, that is convenient and simple in its own way. Price is not the only factor when it comes to buying a laptop bag. There are other factors like usage, surroundings, trend, material, size, color and etc.

You can do some research online to look around the laptop bag market to see which style suits you. Make sure you pick the right one since it will have an impact to what you do and where you go.
If you are a professional, pick a laptop bag that will reflect your professionalism, or if you’re just looking for a casual one, pick something to show off your sense of style.

The different types of Laptop Bags available are brief bag laptop bags, top loading laptop bags, backpack laptop bags, messenger Style laptop bags, rolling laptop bags, ladies laptop bags and the men’s laptop bags.

The next main factor is the size. Make sure your note book will fit into the laptop bag you choose and there is enough space for any accessories. Since a laptop is portable, you’ll be carrying it around with you. Beware of the environmental changes that will not do your laptop any good if your laptop bag is unable to protect it, for example, from the rain. Laptop bag materials can come in Cordura, Nylon, Polyster, Suede, Vinyl, Cotton, Denier Cordura, Denim, Duralite, Koskin, Micro fiber and Top grain leather.

When it comes to the weight of the laptop bag, make sure your laptop bag does not weigh more than your laptop.

Be sure of the durability of the laptop bag you have chosen before making a purchase because you don’t want it to give way while your laptop is inside it.

Rolling Laptop Bags – Selection Guidelines

What should you look for when shopping for rolling laptop bags? Well, there are many considerations that you should keep in mind before looking at a bag’s price tag. After all, if a product does not suit your needs, who cares how much it costs? Anyway, high quality products always come at a premium. Nothing is more embarrassing than having the wheels come off your bag at a client’s location or on the way to an important meeting. Speaking of wheels, make sure that the wheels are reinforced by heavy duty plastic and/or metal so that they last. OK, on to the important stuff.

A rolling laptop bag should have a sturdy extendable handle. Most well-constructed bags have aluminum handles. The benefits of aluminum are two fold. First of all, aluminum is very lightweight which is important because excess weight is to be avoided. Second, aluminum is strong and flexible. It can take a lot of abuse without breaking, a great benefit to those road warriors out there. To extend the handle, you simply press a button and pull. The handle extends so that you can easily roll the bag around. When you are finished, another push of a button collapses the handle and it retracts into the bag, perfect for storage purposes. The bag should have a dedicated compartment that protects the laptop and separates it from the other contents in the bag. The laptop compartment should have enough padding to allow the laptop to survive being dropped when in the bag. Other features to look for include dedicated storage for common computer supplies and accessories such as CD/DVD discs and usb memory devices and power supplies and such.

If you travel a lot and/or have lots of stuff to lug around, then rolling laptop bags are a good option. You can easily carry your laptop computer and all the peripherals and accessories you might need. These bags can be heavy, so for those of you who travel light, this option may not be for you. Whatever choice you make, be sure to take the laptop with you and make sure it fits in your intended purchase.

Cheap Laptop Bags Are Not Always A Bargain

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.

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.
