I really appreciate handles like this, even on a small, lightweight laptop bag/sleeve. When carrying a bunch of stuff into a hotel at the end of a long day, having a handle or shoulder strap can be the difference in being able to manage everything at once and avoiding that extra trip out to the car, lol.
The only way I’d want a bag without a handle is if it’s truly as small as possible and would mostly end up carried around inside another duffel/backpack.
I’ve always used tight-fitting sleeves made of neoprene or felt, for example. The sleeved notebook is slightly larger, protected from bumps and scratches and still fits perfectly in the backpack.
I don’t feel like carrying around another bag.
If you live near a Micro Center and they have these in stock, you can try-and-buy the same day:
I’ve personally tried both of them in-store and they fit my Framework Laptop 12 and my usual set of accessories. I ended up getting the Inland bag because it has carrying handles and a quick-access pocket for a phone or wallet, which is quite useful.
