A 15.6-inch laptop backpack may seem like a straightforward purchase at first glance. However, models vary considerably in fit, protection, organisation and carrying comfort. A backpack may look spacious but still offer too little protection for your laptop. Similarly, a water-repellent outer layer can be useful during a short shower without making the bag completely waterproof.
For students, commuters, business users and travellers, three pitfalls are particularly important:
Do not just check the stated screen size; also check your laptop’s dimensions. A 15.6-inch screen says nothing about the thickness of the casing or the wide bezels around the screen. Measure your laptop and compare these measurements with the product specifications.
A laptop backpack for work and travel should also have room for a charger, mouse, documents and possibly headphones. For a heavier business laptop, a sturdier, padded compartment may be more important than a large main compartment.
If you use a larger device, it may be better to look for a 17.3-inch laptop backpack. A compartment that is too small can put strain on the zip and offer less protection against impacts.
Nylon, polyester and recycled plastic are commonly used materials. Pay attention to the wording:
According to the product information, the HP Prelude Pro has a water-resistant finish and an outer fabric made from 95% recycled material. The HP Professional 17.3-inch laptop backpack is described as water-resistant and, according to the product information, uses recycled plastic for its main material. These are product specifications; the actual level of protection also depends on use, wear and the length of time the bag is exposed to rain.
A laptop backpack is often carried for several hours at a time. So check whether the shoulder straps are adjustable and padded. A chest strap can help keep the bag more stable when travelling or cycling.
Useful features include:
A laptop backpack with a USB port generally works as a pass-through connection to a power bank inside the bag. The backpack does not charge itself. So check whether a power bank is included and whether the connection is compatible with your cable.
Why it suits this profile: This business laptop backpack has a well-organised layout and is suitable for everyday use at school, in the office or while commuting.

We have compiled a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
No. The screen size is only an indication. Compare your laptop’s width, height and thickness with the dimensions of the padded compartment. Also consider the shape of the laptop and whether you use a protective sleeve.
Its lifespan depends on the weight carried, everyday use, exposure to rain, wear on the zips and how the bag is stored. Do not overfill the backpack and follow the care instructions. Products covered by EU consumer rules generally come with at least a two-year legal guarantee; this is separate from normal wear and tear or misuse.
A USB pass-through is mainly a practical connection between your own power bank and cable. Use a suitable power bank, check cables for damage and do not allow electronics to get wet. A USB port does not automatically make a backpack waterproof or theft-proof.
