A 15.6-inch laptop backpack may seem easy to choose at first glance. However, small differences in dimensions, fastening and materials can make a big difference to everyday use. Students, commuters and professionals tend to encounter three common pitfalls:
The right choice therefore depends on more than just appearance. Start by looking at the laptop compartment, material, carrying options and how much you take with you each day.
The 15.6-inch designation refers to the screen diagonal. Actual laptop dimensions vary from model to model. A slim ultrabook takes up less space than a business laptop with a robust casing.
Before buying, check:
If you are looking for a 15-inch laptop backpack, many 15.6-inch models may also fit, but always check the stated dimensions. An oversized compartment can also hold your laptop less securely when cycling or travelling.
The terms water-resistant backpack and waterproof laptop backpack are not always used consistently. A product description may mention water resistance without providing a specific hydrostatic-head rating, testing method or IP classification.
In practical terms:
According to their product descriptions, the models below are described as water-resistant, water-repellent or waterproof. This does not guarantee that a laptop will stay dry in all weather conditions.
For commuting, a slim business backpack is often enough for a laptop, charger and documents. If you also carry sportswear, lunch or travel essentials, a spacious backpack or expandable backpack may be more suitable.
Look out for:
A backpack for work, school and short trips does not have to be the same model. Students may benefit from extra room for books, while commuters often prefer a slimmer design.
Why it suits this profile: A practical choice for school, work and getting around the city when you need a laptop compartment and extra everyday storage.

Why it suits this profile: A sensible option for commuters who want to connect their phone to a USB port in the backpack while on the move.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
No. The screen diagonal does not tell you everything about the external dimensions. Check your laptop's measurements and compare them with the laptop compartment. Also allow for a protective case, particularly with business laptops or gaming models.
That depends on how you use it. For short distances and light rain, a water-resistant backpack may be sufficient. If you cycle every day or spend longer periods outdoors, look for covered zips, protected seams and the option to use a rain cover. Do not automatically treat a “waterproof” claim as a complete guarantee without further product specifications.
For just a laptop, charger and a few documents, a compact business backpack may be sufficient. For lunch, clothing or travel essentials, more capacity is more convenient. An expandable backpack offering 25 to 35 litres, according to the product name, provides extra flexibility, but check that the larger capacity suits the way you travel and any luggage regulations.
