Mobility is a part of life
Because of my work and my studies, I have to carry my laptop with me almost all the time. I need it at work, I need it at school. If I am staying over at a friend's I have to take it with me because I will need it for work or school the very next day. When you carry it around enough, it becomes a real problem.
I have been trying to find an effective solution for carrying my MacBook. I have been using a few different bags. I used an ordinary laptop bag with my old 15” laptop. And after a while I realized it was way too heavy on one shoulder, so I switched to a huge laptop backpack. It was a lot better than the messenger bag but I couldn’t find a backpack (for laptops) that I really liked. For some reason all of them are lacking flavor. They all have ugly colors and weird designs. So I decided to buy one of those sleeves and carry it in my regular JanSport backpack. And after carrying it around for a while, I came to a conclusion: When it’s summer it’s a lot better to use a messenger bag. Even though it’s too heavy for one shoulder, you shouldn’t be walking around too much when it’s that hot anyway, it’s better than a backpack. Because backpacks makes your back sweat way too much... So messenger bag during summer and backpack for winter is the best for carrying a laptop.
It was working great until I switched to mac and bought a 13.3” MacBook. Now I am still using the same 15” sleeve. The problem is that I noticed some scratches on my MacBook and I think it’s because of the sleeve. I don't think it's doing a good job protecting it from pens and other weird stuff I am carrying all the time (I'll go into detail about this later.). It’s way too big and I think the MacBook is moving in it when I am carrying it in my backpack. And another thing is, an 15” sleeve is way too big to carry with my messenger bag. It barely fits in and there is no space left to put in anything else.
Now I am planning to buy an 13.3” sleeve. But, there are so many different brands and they are talking about a lot of different “shock-emitting technology” and stuff. This is one of those things that shouldn’t be too complicated. So I decided to buy the one that has the best looks. I am considering to buy this one or this one. I think I'll go for the black/red one.
