Make it Red for Valentines Gifts

We vanished for a bit - sorry about that: the holiday rush kept us busy. But, here we are again with some thoughts for your Valentines gifts. Maybe you don't want something cliche or too romantic, but you still want a Valentine gift that is thoughtful. Red always makes a statement, and certainly a
red laptop bag or a stylish red fashion case will show thought.

Early in a relationship you may not want to spend much on a Valentine. Try Alicia Klein's business card envelope: sophisticated, thoughtful, and yet less than $50.

If you're at the next level and maybe you're intimate to know what laptop size she has, try the acme made trixy laptop tote. It has a removable sleeve, so the bag really has three uses in one: laptop sleeve, laptop bag, and then just a tote. This style works for just about anyone, as it is professional but still looks more like a fashion bag.

And, if she's really special, moonsus' red gallery laptop tote is stunning in supple red leather. She'll know that you're smitten when you give her this gift.

How Do I Know if a Laptop Bag Fits?

It seems simple enough: how do you measure a laptop computer to see if it fits in a specific laptop bag? It doesn't make sense when you see that 14" or 17" size and then neither the length nor the width is equal to that number. Still scratching your head? Here's how it works.

The measurement that all laptop manufacturers use is the diagonal of the screen. Check out the above image. The diagonal is the measurement that goes from the upper corner to the opposite lower corner. Now that you've revisited high school geometry, how does that relate to knowing if your laptop fits in a specific laptop bag?

Here's the big news: it is a guide, but every laptop in a specific size has different dimensions because of the design of the plastic and screen dimensions. So, if you want to know if your laptop will really fit in that laptop sleeve, you need to measure the length, the width and the depth, just like a box, and then compare those measurements to the size of the bag. Maybe now it makes sense why a 15.4" Mac fits different bags than a 15.4" Dell or a 15.4" Toshiba.
