Does Size Really Matter? A Random Bookbag question.... Forum

[MsBigBad]

So I've reviewed several of the threads regarding laptop bags/book bags/man purses but I still haven't actually seen anyone mention whether or not the recommended size of a laptop sleeve makes a big difference. For example, if I have a 13 inch Macbook and I use a book bag that supposedly fits a 17 inch computer (Like the Swissgear Pegasus) am I going to have any issues that I should take into consideration?

The reason why I ask is because the bags for larger computers often have the most space. I never had to use a laptop bag in undergrad so I honestly have no idea. If anyone could clear this up I would appreciate it.

Thanks

And I don't think the laptop sleeve matters. If its a small bag the laptop sleeve isn't gonna give you and extra space.

Edit: just get a timbuk2 bag

I've gotten a lot of emails saying that size does matter....

I was going to make a joke about that, but you beat me to it.

If you get a bag much bigger than your computer you can always put the computer in a sleeve. That being said, most computer bags will protect well enough to go without.

Thanks for the info. I was worried it might slide around and get damaged or something if the space was too large. If worse comes to worse and I'm really paranoid I can always buy a separate sleeve.
