latest macbook pro 15" does not fit into commute messenger bag M-sized
Hello everyone,
I used to be a satisfied Commute Messenger with my 13" Macbook. Commute Messenger Hemp/PET Fabric in M was perfect, because my crumpler the gimp + macbook fitted easily in the back of the commute.
Now having an ultra-new 15" macbook pro laptop - nearly all timbuk messenger bags have not enough height - it doesn't fit even without pouches (like gimp).
I would love to use my old bag - the new dimensions of the new apple macbook pros 15" are ( to fit in easily without a pouch)
width: 14,57 (37cm)
length: 10,63 (26cm)
depht: 1,18 (3cm)
which means, width is okay with all M sized timbuks, but not the height!
Example: The new commute 2 gets wider but not higher when switiching from S to M. What is wrong?
I would even pay more if you can just do a M sized messenger bag in the commute 2.0 or 1 style, which is just higher in the back to be able to pack a macbook pro in (the new ones).
PS: tried a 17" timbuk - but it is so wide, i can't stand it. I just need the height.
Perhabs you say, tr y a bag for 17" laptops. Got that, its far to wide and heavier and nothing I need or want to have. I need 2 centimetres more height.
If I order a custom made one, can you do me a latop messenger with more height e.g. if I pay a bit more? Or are new models in development?

Inappropriate?Hi Florian,
The medium Commute 2.0 should work for you. I just double checked with apple.com and the 15" macbook is 14.35" x 9.82". Your medium Commute in Hemp/PET has a smaller laptop compartment than the new Commute 2.0
I’m confident
