Without any measuring tape can we get the size from the computer system software?

Question

What size sleeve do I need for a screen measuring 15.25 inches?

Community Answer

15.5 inches is enough to cover up the screen fully, or you can always get a bigger one to fully cover up the front of the laptop.
