Hello,
I'm looking for a laptop bag/satchel kind of thing for university and was wondering if any of you have had any experience with one that you'd recommend. I don't want to spend a heap of money ($30-40 at most).
I have a dell xps 13, which is 13". Basically 30cm on the long side, 20cm on the short. I'll also need to fit some uni books in it.
I've browsed ebay, and they all seem really generic and sold everywhere or I'm not sure about size/etc like this one
As you can see in those links, thats kind of the style I'm going for, leather would be preferred but I don't mind.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Those satchel bags don't seem to be padded. You're going to want proper padded laptop bags, not general purpose ones. This is in case you drop your bag on the ground a little too hard, so a little shock protection is neccessary.
If you want to use those kinds of regular bags, get one of these instead, but also use a neoprene sleeve to protect your laptop.
