Hi everyone! I'm just getting my first Speedy now in 2023 
I wasn't sure about what size I should get and was looking everywhere for reviews and photos to understand which sizes fit a laptop. Since I wasn't able to find this information I thought I'll start a thread and share my experience and photos.
Speedy 30 - surprisingly and contrary to all the reviews I've seen, I was able to fit my 2021 edition 13-inch MacBook Air! It's not comfortable by any means and I wouldn't recommend doing it on a regular basis as it strains the canvas, but it does fit and the zipper closes with no issues. I put it vertically first to get past the zipped opening and turned it sideways once the laptop was already inside the speedy. To take it out, you need to first turn it to a vertical position inside the bag and then you can pull it out. Overall it's a tight fit with no space left on the sides (the edges of the laptop are touching the lining). Another option is to carry a laptop vertically, it sticks out at the top a little bit. It's not an ideal look, but would work for me if I had to carry it very occasionally and didn't have another bag. Attaching photos with the laptop in. I think Speedy 30 works if you need to carry a laptop very rarely and prefer to have a smaller bag.
Speedy 35 - 2021 edition 13-inch MacBook Air fits comfortably with some space left on both sides. Similar to Speedy 30, it doesn't get passed the zipper horizontally, you need to slant the laptop slightly to put it inside. I wanted a bag for travel and sometimes I need to carry my laptop on flights, so I think I'll keep Speedy 35. I like size 30 better as an everyday bag, but I think 35 will better suit my travel needs. I prefer Speedy 30 look for a city bag purpose, it looks more put together on my frame (5'4, size M for reference) and now I'm thinking I should get a 30 too for the days I need to be out and about with a little more stuff than I normally carry.
Hope this will help someone when in doubt between sizes!
