    Hello,

    I am buying a new laptop bag. And I will have a lot of document, papers,, books and so on inside.

    That's why I want to buy little bigger laptop bag.

    I have samsung 7 chronos 15,6" inch screen - but 15"inch body

    dimension: 36,21x 23,84 x 2,39

    and I am choosing between 15-16 inch bag and 17" bag... For photos look the links below


    in short:
    laptop is 36 cm long, the 15-16" is just 2 cm longer.(1 cm per side)
    17" is 6 cm longer (3 cm per side)



    question is:

    Can this really be a problem for laptop? (damage, shakes, unsafety) or is the same?

    I think there will be really more place if I take 17" what you think?

    thanks




    look for dimension of bag and laptop department

    15-16"

    Get a neoprene sleeve for your computer and while it is in said neoprene sleeve, put it in your bag. If your bag has adequate padding, you shouldn't need to worry. This is coming from someone who carried a 13" computer in a 15" sleeve in a 17" backpack. I'm currently using the same 15" sleeve with my 14" Toshiba and the same 17" backpack. My computer has sustained no damage nor have any of the other computers I've had in my bag.
