Accessories sized for 16-inch laptops
Sixteen inches is a newer laptop size. It takes in the 16-inch MacBook Pro, whose screen is 16.2 inches, and the 16 and 16.1-inch Windows laptops, many of them gaming and creative machines with taller 16:10 screens. This page lists the sleeves, bags, MacBook cases, privacy filters, screen protectors and keyboard covers sold in that size. A product is filed here when one of its size choices falls between 16 and just under 17 inches, or when it names the 16-inch MacBook Pro. Most are sold in other sizes too, so choose the 16-inch option on the product page.
What is here
- Sleeves are the largest group. Many are cut for "15 to 16 inch", which suits a slim 16-inch laptop. See 16-inch laptop sleeves.
- MacBook Pro 16-inch cases and films: hard shells, a shell with a keyboard cover, and privacy and matt screen films, listed by model number such as A2485, A2780 and A2991. See MacBook hard-shell cases.
- Keyboard covers, including a skin made for the HP Victus 16 and fabric covers that lie over the keys when the lid is shut.
- Bags: slim briefcases, messenger bags and backpacks that take a 16-inch laptop.
Why 16-inch laptops need a closer look
Sixteen-inch laptops are often deeper than an older 15.6-inch one. Many have a 16:10 screen, a little taller for its width, so the body runs further from front to back. A sleeve or bag made round a 15.6-inch 16:9 laptop can be wide enough and still too shallow. So do not go on the inches alone. Find the model (Settings, System, About on Windows; About This Mac on a Mac), read the width, depth and thickness on the maker's own specification page, and compare them with the sleeve's inside measurements where the product page gives them. Screen size itself is the screen measured diagonally.
Weight matters too. A 16-inch laptop is heavy enough that a bag with two straps or a padded shoulder strap is kinder to carry than a sleeve on its own. See laptop bags.
Questions people ask about 16-inch accessories
Will my 16-inch MacBook Pro fit a 16-inch sleeve?
A sleeve made for it, or for 16 inches, should. Check the sleeve's inside size against the laptop's: Apple gives the current 16-inch MacBook Pro as 35.57cm wide and 24.81cm deep. Products made for it by name are on MacBook Pro 16-inch.
Do screen films for 16-inch laptops fit every 16-inch screen?
No. They are cut for a size and shape, or for one model. Pick the choice that matches your screen's measurements.
