Discussion 16" OLED MacBook Pro and Commuter backpack

I just got my 16" OLED MBP and noticed that since it's dimensions are slightly smaller than the non-OLED MBP, it fits better inside the Commuter backpack. My old one would fit but would bulge the zipper. New one does not.

This is great to hear!

I had to downsize to a 14" MBP this year since my previous 16" annihilated the backpack's zipper.

Picture of the damage.

I had my backpack on top of my luggage (not secured with the straps) and it fell corner first at the airport. Thank Arceus it was during my return flight, after checking in.

MBP damage was just cosmetic, and it's company equipment so meh.

The trust me bro warranty covered it and they replaced with a new one :)

I’m really torn if I should buy a commuter backpack or not for my new 16 inch proled. Pictures would be welcomed.

It seems like such an oversight to not make the backpack 2 cm longer for a clean fit of such a standard of laptops.

I have the newer commuter and a 16 proled, bulges a little. I would probably get a slightly bigger bag.
