Laptop has become a primary need of people nowadays. Since everything should be practical and mobile, laptop or portable personal computer is a gadget that is really helpful for those who always need computer but cannot always stay at home. The existence of laptop enables this kind of people to do their job anywhere and anytime. Besides, laptop also enables people to bring many data and directly use those data. Because laptop should be able to be used everywhere, it is equipped with rechargeable battery so that the user can still use the laptop, or usually also called as notebook or netbook since its function is almost similar to the notebook which is to write something whenever we want, without electricity.
The first portable personal computer (PC) was commercially available in 1975, although the thought of making this kind of gadget had appeared in 1968. Following the success of IBM 5100 in producing the portable PC and the increasing demand of the gadget, many kinds of portable machines from Osborne 1, which did not use battery, to Epson HX-20, which used rechargeable battery and even mini-size printer, appeared. After that, many variants of laptop appeared until the world reached the laptop that we know today.
Specifically, laptop refers to the portable PC that has the full-size QWERTY keyboard, the optical drive and the size of at least 11 inches, while netbook is smaller, lighter and more energy-efficient than laptop because the size of the keyboard is smaller and has no optical drive. The term netbook itself was coined by Intel but the first netbook was launched by Asus with its Eee PC.
The users of laptop nowadays have been uncountable. Not only does it lead to the increasing variants with varied facilities of laptop, or to the increasing laptop producers, or to the varied outside appearance to attract buyers, but also to the existence of laptop-based stuff as the complement of the laptop. One of the stuff is the laptop bag. Laptop bag is an important element for the laptop users because it has some functions, which are to protect the laptop from unwanted things or events and to facilitate the wearers to bring their laptop more easily.
Laptop bags are available in some variants based on the needs, but all of the bags are made thick or have a kind of sponge to protect the laptop from shock. Sleeveless laptop bag’s model follows the shape of laptop. The size of this kind of bag should be fitted with the size of the laptop. This bag has the outside zipper and four suspensions in the inside part to hold the upper corners of the screen and the bottom corners of the keyboard. Sleeve laptop bag is almost similar to the sleeveless one but this one has a sleeve to enable the wearer to bring the bag like a handbag or suitcase. Some of the sleeve laptop bag has some pockets at the outside part to accommodate the other laptop equipments such as the charger or flashdisk. Laptop bag with sleeve can have the short sleeve and the long sleeve. Another variant of bag for laptop is the one which is similar to the sleeve laptop bag but also has the long strap. This kind of bag can be worn both as a handbag and as a shoulder bag. The other kind is the backpack laptop bag. This is the same as the usual backpack but it has the special place for the laptop, usually at the back side of the bag, and has a firmer back side.
