Accessories sized for 15.6-inch laptops
A 15.6-inch screen is the size of a great many Windows laptops, from home and student machines to gaming laptops. This page also takes the 15-inch MacBook Air, whose screen is 15.3 inches, and the 15-inch Surface Laptop. It lists the sleeves, bags, MacBook cases, privacy filters, screen protectors and keyboard covers sold in that size: a product is filed here when a size choice falls between 15 and just under 16 inches, or when it names the 15-inch MacBook Air. Many come in several sizes, so choose the 15.6-inch option on the product page.
What is here
- Sleeves, slim or padded, with or without a handle. See 15.6-inch laptop sleeves.
- Bags are a bigger part of this page than of the smaller sizes, because 15.6 inches is the size most bags are built round: backpacks for school, travel and work, some with a USB charging port on the side; leather and fabric briefcases; and messenger and tote bags.
- Privacy filters and screen protectors, sold by size and screen shape, and films cut for MacBook models.
- Keyboard covers, including covers made for one laptop's key layout, such as the Asus ROG Strix G15.
Getting the size right on a big laptop
At this size the outside of the laptop varies a lot. A thin 15-inch ultrabook and a 15.6-inch gaming laptop share a screen size but not a thickness, and a gaming laptop's power brick takes room of its own. So check two things. First the screen, measured diagonally, which your model's specification page gives (find the model under Settings, System, About on Windows, or About This Mac on a Mac). Then the outside width, depth and thickness, against the inside of the sleeve or the laptop pocket of the bag where the product page gives it. A 16:9 screen of 15.6 inches is about 345 by 194mm, which is the size the 15.6-inch privacy filters here are cut to.
Questions people ask about 15.6-inch accessories
Where do I look for the 15-inch MacBook Air?
Here. Its 15.3-inch screen falls in this size, and its own cases and films are also on MacBook Air 15-inch.
Will a 15.6-inch sleeve fit a 16-inch laptop?
Some sleeves are made for "15 to 16 inch" and take both, which is why they appear on the 16-inch page as well. One made only for 15.6 inches is likely to be too small for a 16-inch laptop.
Does a backpack with a USB port charge my laptop?
No. The port is a pass-through: you plug a power bank in inside, and charge a phone from the outside.
