The spectre x360 fits really well, slight movement, but nothing a little extra padding can't sort out!

I understand what you're saying, but the case is measured diagonally too...

Blue. See Scrungee's post #35.
Argos seem to show the original gauntlet in their image but it's the Gauntlet 2.0 you get.

Really nice case - have it for my MBP and it has kept it in great condition.
The one downside is that you can't charge it whilst in the case (if that's what you're after) unless you do some modifications to expose the charging port.
However that wasn't overly easy, the case is tough and withstood most knifes i went at it with! :laughing:

I have one and it's really easy to charge. There are two zippers so you just leave a gap and feed in the charger. Why did you need a knife?

Because screens are measured diagonally. So a laptops width can be less than it's advertised screen size.
Edit: Beaten to it. That's what you get for taking 12 mins to finish writing a reply :man:

The screen is measured diagonally (like all other screens are). The laptop itself is 14.06" wide.
The XPS 15 is just a tiny bit too big to fit. :disappointed:

Just picked up my case and as stated its the Thule Gauntlet Pro 2 for MacBook Pro and MacBook Pro Retina and is a really good case for the price.
My MBP fits nicely inside and I'm sure other 13" laptops will fit.

How on Earth can the display be 15 inches but the laptop is smaller? If the screen is 15" then the minimum the laptop can be is 15" without a bezel. Either way, the sleeve is 13". So it won't fit.

Meet the smallest 38.1 cm (15”) laptop on the planet
The world’s only 38.1 cm (15”) InfinityEdge display: The virtually borderless display maximizes screen space by accommodating a 38.1 cm (15”) display inside a laptop closer to the size of a 35.6 cm (14”), thanks to a bezel measuring just 5.7 mm, 59% thinner than the Macbook Pro.
One-of-a-kind design: Measuring in at a slim 11-17 mm and starting at just under 1.8 kg with a solid state drive, the XPS 15 is the world’s lightest 38.1 cm (15”) performance-class laptop.
Also, for Retina Macbook users, the dimensions on the left are for the Gauntlet on Argos, and on the right is the Gauntlet 3.0 which is designed for the Retina 13".

Wait... what? The body is 2 inches smaller than the screen? Does this laptop contain a black hole?

Was going to buy it until i read the review on the site. It isn't snug. I like snug!
Scrungee
29 Jan 16#35
It's not as shown in the Argos image, it's this one
My Asus Zenbook fits OK with a very small amount of wriggle room around the edges. The expanded polystyrene insert was 17mm thick and I suppose that's the optimum thickness of laptop to fit snugly (my Zenbook is 12.5mm thick and it diesn't rattle around.
The maximum usuable internal space measures approx 330 x 230mm x 18mm (assuming rounded corners).

Not really. Xps laptops are usually smaller (Xps 13 is around size of the new macbook)

This looks the same as the one I have (bought from Amazon about a year ago) for my Macbook Pro 13 Retina and it fits absolutely fine. It's a great sleeve and definitely worth £9.99

Great price for this!
I have one for my 13" Retina MBP and it fits perfectly. It has an elastic strap which keeps it snug and stops it from wiggling around too much :smiley:

If this case has been out for a few years it probably fits the older (thicker) macbook pros better.
Hmm strange, there are a couple of people who say its too big for the Retina Macbook but, the Macbook Air fits fine. But pretty sure they're the same width across.

hhmmm would this fit a 13.5 inch ultra book ? is their some wiggle room if you are using a 13 inch mac ?

I got this before Christmas for my MBP from Argos for 14.99. The pattern was differentiate what is pictured. Also it's not as snug a fit as if hoped for. About half an inch around all sides. Very good case though.

Thanks. I have a 13" ultrabook coming from PCS today and the cheap neoprene sleeve I bought from ebay stinks of chemicals!
Opening post
Only the black is £9.99 the blue and grey are still £39.99.
Says its for MacBook but will fit other 13" laptops as well.
Plenty of stock in all Argos stores I searched in my area.
Good Luck
