"my laptop might be old but I find there little reason to upgrade"
I hope you didn't get the impression I was dissing your computer, I bet it works great for you. It just wouldn't qualify as an 'ultraportable' or 'ultrabook' by today's standards, and that's what we were talking about.
I do feel I need to point out the following:
"a 13" Air is 12.8"x8.94"x0.68"= 77.8 in^3 and a dell latitude is 12.2"8.6"x1.1"=115.4 in^3, a difference of 38 in^3."
MacBook Air is wedge shaped, it tapers evenly from 0.68 inch to 0.11 inch. So its volume is actually 35.6 cubic inches (11.8"x7.56"x0.4"). Your notebook takes up more than 3 times as much space.
No clue how big a typical school backpack is, but my Emerica backpack is 17.5"x12"x6"= 1260 cubic inches. It would fit your notebook, but not much else.
- usaar333 15y agoOh I meant the upgrade thing as applying to the industry in general. Savvy customers can get very good machines for under $400 these days if they are willing to get used/refurbished. My bad. I didn't realize the tapering. By the dimensions, I'm guessing you have an 11", but I see how the 13" is actually only 46 in^3, making my laptop 2.5x larger by volume. That said your backpack should be able to hold 10 of my laptops, well, with perfect packing. :)
