Now comparing the sleeve vs the laptop bag…..
Hmmm I have both of them and honestly can’t decide which I prefer. They both are almost the same size, the laptop bag is only barely slightly bigger. They’re both almost equally padded inside, maybe the laptop bag is just slightly more padded than the sleeve, it’s hard to tell. The sleeve has one handle on the top that pushes back in, the laptop bag has two handles that can be tucked back in and also has the long shoulder strap that you can clip on to use or take off to stash. The laptop bag has an extra zipper pocket on the front and an additional Velcro pocket. The sleeve’s zipper pocket on the back goes along the short width side and the laptop bag’s back zipper goes along the long width side. The padding in the sleeve is soft-yet firm bubble material and it has a feature that the laptop bag doesn’t have that I wish it had, it has a satiny-stretchy material along the inner top edge that you can pull over the side of your laptop to hold it in place. So the verdic is that both the sleeve and laptop bag are amazing and you’d be super happy with either. I hope this helps. I also did a review on the laptop bag with pictures and a video if you want to see images of it.
