Back to Uni: laptop sleeves to protect your shiny new laptop

Altego Clear Sleeves

OK, normally you buy a laptop sleeve to hide and protect your laptop from the outside world….not with these new Altego clear laptop sleeves.
These are transparent sleeves with a clear air cushion. This is a must for those who want to show the world their fancy laptops without the fear of hurting them. The sleeves will be available in 10″ to 17″ sizes. They will also be available in pink, red, black and silver.

Price starting from £18 - £27

Diesel Neosole

It’s pretty tricky to find that many laptop sleeves by designers, but this is a pretty hip and stylish sleeve by well known label Diesel - named the Neosole. It’s black with a “techno fabric”, zip closure, lined interior, and detailed logo print which is of course all very Diesel. I think it looks quite “Matrix” like.

 

Price £40.00.

Hello Kitty

Hello kitty obsessed? Well you can pimp your laptop in a sleeve that features hello kitty in her full pink glory. There are two sleeves to choose from and both will protect your laptop from bumps and spills. Both items were actually designed to be quite fashionable even if they are a bit errrr pink, but good if you can’t afford an actual Hello Kitty Laptop!

Price around £20

Be.ez: Stripey Sleeve

If you dig stripes then check out this range of sleeves from be.ez: LArobe Allure. Stylish notebook protection in the form of a neoprene notebook sleeve with memory foam for added protection against impact. They are available in various sizes and will fit a MacBook Pro 15″ & 17″ or a MacBook Air. Available in black, mocha and stripes.

Price around £20

Adamo Laptop by Dell

The Adamo laptop from Dell is a union of advanced technology and exquisite design. It’s ultra slim (we like) making it easy to carry around and has a decent size 13.4 inch widescreen. It comes in a choice of silver aluminium with unique etching and pearl finish or onyx aluminium with brushed finish. This really is a super sexy looking laptop for the style conscious amongst us. As it is one of Dell’s premium laptops it is quite pricey but not that much more than you could expect to pay for a high spec MacBook.

Prices start from £1649, for more details check out www.adamobydell.co.uk

Limited edition laptop skins

I like dressing up (no, not in a pervy way) and now I can dress my laptop up too with these funky limited edition Artist Series Laptop Skins.

They’re really easy to apply and cover most laptops up to 15″ and even better are reusable and removable. Perfect to protect your beautiful macbook air and comes in a variety of designs, you can choose from”Cable Cranes,” by Nanami Cowdroy; “Jealousy,” by Jen Lobo; “Underworld,” by Colin Thompson; or “Shore” by Lawrence Yang, all very nice even if the design names are a bit weird.

Give a laptop, Get a laptop, Change the world

The mission of One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is to empower the children of developing countries to learn by providing one connected laptop to every school-age child. In order to accomplish this, they need people who believe in what they’re doing and want to help make education for the world’s children a priority, not a privilege.

OLPC’s mission is to provide a means for learning, self-expression, and exploration to the nearly two billion children of the developing world with little or no access to education. While children are by nature eager for knowledge, many countries have insufficient resources to devote to education. By giving children their very own connected XO laptop, they are getting a window to the outside world, access to vast amounts of information, a way to connect with each other, and a springboard into their future.

I think this is an absolutely fantastic idea and empowering children in this way can only reap excellent rewards in the future. For further information check out www.amazon.com/xo
