Today, manufacturers offer a fairly wide selection of accessories for carrying and storing laptops. The most popular of them are:

  1. Briefcase (a rigid frame and a short handle for carrying in the hands, usually equipped with a wide compartment for a gadget, as well as other pockets for small items and papers, often equipped with a key or a lock using coding; the main disadvantage is its bulkiness and inconvenience of movement when traveling on public transport ).
  2. Case (allows a man to look very presentable; for men driving a personal car, this model is perfect; the main disadvantages of such designs are their heavy weight and limited size, in addition, such models are quite expensive).
  3. A backpack (an excellent option for travelers and people who lead an active lifestyle, often made of multi-colored nylon that protects the gadget from moisture penetration and various external influences; the main disadvantages are considered to be too youthful design and high cost of the product).

  7. Suitcase (a hard case made of durable plastic reliably protects the laptop, but at the same time it is heavy and not intended for regular carrying);
    case (the main disadvantage of such a product is the lack of proper protection of the laptop from external factors, it also does not have handles and the ability to carry accessories for the gadget).

Material, accessories

The most popular materials for making bags are synthetic bases. They have a number of advantages. In addition to the fact that they reliably protect the computer from external factors, do not allow moisture to pass through, they are also offered in different colors. In addition, nylon, polyester and neoprene are very lightweight and easy to transport.

There are also models made from artificial substitutes for natural materials: leather and suede. They look very beautiful and perfectly complement a business or casual look. But such products have one very important drawback - their fragility.Such products wear out very quickly and become unusable.

Genuine leather looks great and adds extra charm to any look, both for men and women. However, such material requires special care. Otherwise, it begins to crack and deform.

Hard plastic and aluminum are excellent materials for protecting your portable device. They reliably protect it from damage and harmful external factors. However, such bags weigh quite a lot and are very bulky, which makes them impossible to use when moving regularly, including on public transport.

The fittings of the product should be as reliable as possible and prevent the laptop from falling out or moving inside the bag. It is important that the locks and buttons are in good working order and securely fastened. The handle or strap should also be tight and comfortable for the user.

Protective properties

The frame of the product must be rigid. You can check this by simply pressing. If it does not deform, this means that the model is trustworthy. In the compartment for securing the laptop there should be a special strap that keeps the device from falling. Special helium cushions are also needed for shock absorption.
