A 15.6-inch laptop backpack needs to do more than just carry a laptop. Students often take books, chargers and lunch with them. Commuters want a comfortable bag for the train, bike and office. Business travellers also look for organisation, security and extra space.
However, there are several pitfalls that can make a backpack disappointing in everyday use.
The 15.6-inch designation refers to the screen diagonal, but laptops do not all have the same casing. A model with wide bezels or a sturdy protective case may need more room. So don’t just check the screen size; also check the dimensions of the laptop compartment and your own device.
A water-repellent laptop backpack can help keep out light rain, but that does not mean the contents will stay dry for an extended period during heavy rain or immersion. Pay attention to the product description, fastening and positioning of the zips. If you are carrying valuable electronics, take additional precautions, such as using a protective case.
A spacious laptop backpack with countless compartments sounds appealing, but poorly positioned pockets can actually make it harder to find keys, cables or documents. Look at the layout: is there a separate laptop compartment, space for accessories and enough room for your everyday essentials? A bag that has to be packed completely full will also be less comfortable to carry.
Look for a clearly described 15.6-inch laptop compartment. Then compare its internal dimensions with those of your laptop. The external dimensions give you an idea of the overall capacity, but they do not show exactly how much space is available in the protected compartment.
A backpack of around 25 litres will generally have room for a laptop, charger, documents and a few personal items. For clothing, snacks or travel accessories, an expandable backpack may be more practical. According to the product information, the HP Travel 25L can be expanded to 30 litres.
Check whether the shoulder straps are adjustable and wide enough. A chest strap can help keep the backpack more stable when cycling or walking. Keep heavy items close to your back and place loose accessories in separate compartments. The weight of the bag itself is also relevant: according to the specifications, the HP Travel 25L weighs approximately 860 grams.
A lightweight laptop backpack is not automatically comfortable. The shape of the back panel, the quality of the straps and how easily the bag can be adjusted all affect how it feels to carry.
A business backpack or travel laptop backpack may offer additional features, such as lockable zips, a concealed RFID pocket or a tracker compartment. These features can be useful, but they do not guarantee protection against theft. Use lockable zips alongside normal awareness.
A backpack with a USB port can be practical when you are out and about. Check whether it is an external connection and whether a power bank needs to be purchased separately. Also consider care requirements: polyester and canvas may react differently to rain, dirt and intensive use.

Not always. Screen size is only one factor. The casing, bezels and any protective case determine how much room is needed. Measure the length, width and thickness of your laptop, then compare these measurements with the laptop compartment.
Its lifespan depends on the load, material, moisture and the quality of the zips and seams. A backpack that is filled heavily every day will wear out faster than one used lightly. Avoid overloading it and regularly check the straps, base and zips.
That depends on how you use it. An external USB connection is useful when you want to charge your phone while out and about without taking the power bank out of your bag. The power bank itself is usually not included. If you rarely charge devices on the go, you may get more value from a sturdy layout and a well-padded laptop compartment.
