Backpack Recommendations for MacBook Air 15

[cargobrian]

Now that I am upgrading from the MacBook Air m2 13 to the 15" model, it appears that my Tumi Alpha Compact might be a little too small for the new laptop that arrives later this week.

Anyone have any recommendations for a good backpack that provides a good safe home for the MacBook Air 15?

I travel for work quite often and want to make sure it is protected during my journeys.


Thank you

I've had my Swissgear forever. It's for 17 but it looks like they have ones for 13/15 also.

Get a sleeve instead and use any backpack you want.

Currently rocking a Native Union sleeve that is more geared for a 15-16" MBP (nothing out there yet for the 15" MBA) in my Everlane ReNew Transit backpack. Also have a 16" 2019 MBP in my backpack as that's the company device

If you like leather, Samsonite Classic Leather Slim Backpack is great, I use it for 16" M1 MBP and it just fits into the laptop compartment (with basically zero room to spare, so no sleeve, but it's not necessary in this one)

Plan to use it for 15" MBA as well, will be even lighter

Ended up purchasing the Everki Atlas. Liking it so far. Very roomy.

I use the eBags Pro Slim Jr for just my laptop and some cables and such as an EDC kind of bag. I like the Incase Icon as a bigger backpack for trips.

I know these are sleeves but I couldn’t find another thread for air bags. These arrived today. Leather sleeves for 13 and 15 airs.

I went the cheaper route & took advantage of the back to school sales.

A little bigger than I'd like. I only need two areas of organization & a water bottle holder. So nothing fancy needed. Now I have lots of room if I did need ( for another set of clothes or purchases ) it, and it kind of goes with the midnight color version of the MBA. They do make an even bigger version that does have 4 exterior pockets for organization, but that seemed like overkill for me.
