17 Inch Laptop Sleeves

17 inch laptop sleeves for desktop-replacement and workstation machines, including 17.3" bodies. Heavier padding and a reinforced base, because at this size the sleeve is carrying three kilograms.

The size where a sleeve stops being enough on its own

A 17" laptop is heavy, and a sleeve carried by hand at this weight is uncomfortable and fragile — there is no handle, no weight distribution, and any drop is a three-kilogram impact. At this size a sleeve should be a layer inside a bag rather than the thing you carry.

17" and 17.3" are not the same measurement, and gaming laptops in particular run thick. Check width, height and depth against the internal dimensions listed on each sleeve.

Frequently asked questions

Is a 17 inch sleeve the same as 17.3 inch?

A 17 inch sleeve is not always the same as a 17.3 inch one, and each listing states which bodies it fits. Compare closed dimensions rather than the screen figure.

Should I carry a 17 inch laptop in a sleeve alone?

You should not carry a 17 inch laptop in a sleeve alone, because there is no handle and the weight makes any drop severe. Use the sleeve inside a backpack.

Do gaming laptops fit these sleeves?

Many gaming laptops fit, but they run considerably thicker than workstations at the same screen size, so check the depth measurement specifically.
