Accessories Keep Your Laptop in Style

"When a person is in fashion, all they do is right." Lord Chesterfield

Fashion and style play a large role in our lives, whether we subscribe to the latest trends or not. We're either desperately trying to stay in fashion, ignore fashion or keep an eye on who is setting fashion trends. Someone once said that fashions come and go, but style lasts forever. What once applied only to clothes and décor can now be said to apply to gadgets, as people try to funk-up the appearance of their laptops and iPods.

Laptop users no longer have to settle for factory slate-grey or charcoal; with laptop accessories they can chop and change the external appearance of their notebooks as quickly and easily as some people change their socks. Many laptop accessories stockists carry a wide variety of skins that can give notebooks an instant facelift. Skin styles range from classic elegance to hippy chic, quirky and the outright bizarre. You can decorate your notebook with peaceful underwater scenes, floral patterns and vibrant colours. Or you can give your laptop a holiday feel with themed skins, for instance summer holiday beach scenes, Christmas trees, Easter bunnies and sundry eggs, and even skulls and crossbones for Halloween.

On another aesthetic note, laptop screens are fairly big news these days, especially LCD screens. If you want to keep your notebook in tip-top style, you really need one of these babies. LCD screens are available in a range of sizes, so you can be sure to find one that fits your notebook, as well as your pocket.

It's not enough to look good; you also have to take proper care of what you've got. Laptop protection comes in many guises, starting with keyboard and screen protection. Keyboard protectors are placed between the screen and keyboard on closing the laptop, and are designed to protect both upper and lower layers from any scratches that might occur during transport. Many keyboard protectors double as screen cleaners, and are ideal for getting rid of fingerprint smudges and errant bits of fluff.

As for actual notebooks, protection can be found in a variety of sleeves, briefcases, backpacks, satchels and duffel bags.

Sleeves are probably the most basic and light-weight protective carry bags that you can get. They aren't that big,; usually only large enough to carry the laptop itself and maybe some additional documents. They're generally well cushioned to protect machines against the gamut of bumps and knocks experienced during transport.

Briefcases, satchels and backpacks are somewhat larger and are designed to carry laptops, documents, files, keys, sunglasses, a packed lunch and anything else you would expect to need on a day out of your office or home. Styles range from large hold-alls to light-weight bags for when you don't need the kitchen sink. They are also cushioned to protect notebooks while you're out and about.

For occasions when you need to carry more than your laptop and a few files, such as when you're headed to the gym after work, or need to go away for the weekend but don't want to be laden with assorted bags, then duffel bags do the trick. They are perfect for carrying a couple of changes of clothes, toiletries, your laptop and anything else you might need on an extended trip. You can even get bags that come on wheels so that you don't have to carry your baggage everywhere, but can roll it along at your convenience.

With so many options to kit your laptop out in style, you no longer have an excuse for your laptop being tired, boring and limited in appearance. And remember:

"Style is a simple way of saying complicated things." Jean Cocteau
