Laptop Bags and Traveling

May 31st, 2009 No comments

When the thought of traveling comes up, the preparation for the trip can be a daunting task. If you have prepared properly beforehand, it can greatly reduce the stress of the trip.

If you travel a lot, there are many bags that will accommodate this lifestyle. The main problem behind having your laptop bag with you is the need to take the laptop out of the bag and place it on the x-ray table and have them run both through separately. There are many bag designers out there that have this problem and mind and have provided a bag that has an extra feature that will allow the laptop to be separated from the bag in a quick fashion. Here at 17 Inch Laptop Bags we recommend the Targus TBT046US Zip-Thru 17-Inch Air Traveler Laptop Case (Black).

This is the type of convenience we are mentioning. This bag allows for a removable and protectable side panel that can quickly be removed if it is required of you to have your laptop bag x-ray checked.

I hope this has helped those of you who travel a lot and have a problem finding the right type of bag that will allow you to travel without stress and needless planning.

We’ve properly reviewed our first 17 Inch Laptop Bags Laptop Accessory. What we have here is the Logitech QuickCam Pro for Notebooks. The greatest thing about this camera is it’s primary function. The image quality that it presents allows you to be seen in real time, as opposed to a terrible blury image every time you move. The installation process for the software is also simple and smooth and no problems were encountered.

Swiss Gear Brand Review

May 30th, 2009 No comments

The personal bag that I own is a Swiss bag. Before I even got into the business of selling laptop bags, I had purchased this bag a while ago pretty much blindly. I seemed to have lucked out with this bag, because I enjoy the look of it, and it functions extremely well.

The best feature that stands out to me is the quality of the zippers. The ease in which they slide makes putting my laptop in and out of it very easy, and the zipper never snags or gets caught in annoying places. I give my seal of approval to all Swiss Gear bags.

There is plenty of space for all of my gadgets and there are many little pockets that can hold little things such as small chords, pens, pencils, and whatever else you could think of. The strap design is also very easy to use. It could use some more padding, but this bag wasn’t the most expensive one I could have bought and I actually don’t remember the price of it. The bag flap snap close lock is also engineered very well and I’ve never had problems with it.

I approve!

Picking the Right Size Bag

May 27th, 2009 No comments

While this may seem like a simple task, you’d be surprised at how many people return bags because they haven’t taken the time to pick the right sized bag. Some of them were just unaware of what sized laptop they had and couldn’t find it out. If you are in this situation, you can always measure your laptop from the upper left hand corner of your screen to the bottom right hand corner of your screen. This will be the size of the laptop the bags are referencing to. 

If the bag you purchase is too large, your bag will definitely fit into the bag but you will not want to use this bag.  When it’s sitting in it’s compartment it can still crash around and this can really cause damage to your laptop if you are not careful.  Having the proper snug fit is very important in keeping your laptop completely protected at all times when in the bag.

17 Inch Laptop Bag Strap Advice

May 25th, 2009 1 comment

Here at 17 Inch Laptop Bags we are always looking to provide you with valuable information that will help you with your laptop bag decisions!

When looking at buying a laptop bag, there is one important feature that I’d like to discuss with you. That is the shoulder strap of the bag (assuming its that style of bag). You want to make sure you get one with some sort of padding system on it. I’ve used some bags that have really cut into my shoulder when I had a fully packed bag and had to carry it a long ways. Once I purchased a new one it was breath of fresh air to be able to carrying it long distances without it being a huge nuisance. Having the right information before making a purchase is a must! Thanks for listening and I hope I have helped you in your decision making process! :)
