Laptop Sleeves

blueskyz888 · 18th March 2009, 7:21 PM

hey,

I recently bought a Dell Inspiration 13 Laptop and im deciding to purchase a Laptop Sleeve. I came across the Neo 13" Sleeve but the dimensions of the case is just a bit short of my laptop. Do you reckon it will still fit if I tried forcing it in the case without damaging the laptop.

This is my dimension of my laptop:
Width: 12.52" (318mm)
Height: 1" (25.4mm) front / 1.51" (38.37mm) back
Depth: 9.37" (238mm)

and this is the Neo Sleeve's dimension
External size: 31.5 x 25.5 x 4.6 cm (Linear 61.6cm) (12.4 x 10 x 1.8 Inches)
Laptop compartment size: 30 x 23.5 x 4 cm (11.8 x 9.3 x 1.6 Inches)

thx

Up to you mate. You'll probably be able to squeeze it in, but then it's going to be annoying to take in and out. The first sleeve I bought for my 13" laptop was like that, so I took it back and ended up getting a sleeve designed for use with a 14" model.

I'd get the next size up. I've currently got a Latitude XT (12.1") in a 13.3" sleeve and it fits perfectly.

you reckon a 14" sleeve won't be too big for a 13" laptop, would it slide around in the sleeve?

I bought one from the mac store for my dell vostro.

It fits fine. Even with the inflated battery.
