A 15.6-inch laptop backpack may seem straightforward to choose at first glance. However, models can differ considerably in fit, protection, carrying comfort and organisation. A backpack may look spacious while still offering too little protection for your laptop. Terms such as “waterproof”, “anti-theft” and “USB charging” may also not be as comprehensive as the product title suggests.
For students, school pupils, business professionals, commuters and travellers, three pitfalls are particularly important:
The 15.6-inch designation refers to the screen diagonal. The external dimensions of laptops can vary. As well as checking the screen size, measure your laptop and compare its dimensions with those of the laptop compartment.
A well-fitting compartment prevents the laptop from moving around while cycling, travelling or putting the bag down. A padded laptop compartment is also useful for protection against minor knocks and scratches, but a backpack is not a hard protective case.
Also consider models that are larger than your current laptop. A 16-inch laptop backpack may provide extra room, but it may therefore fit a 15.6-inch device less snugly.
For commuting in the Netherlands, a water-repellent laptop backpack can be very useful. Pay attention to the exact wording:
A water-repellent outer layer does not automatically protect against prolonged rain. In bad weather, consider using a separate rain cover and keep liquids in a securely sealed bottle. Some models combine a water-repellent finish with care instructions, such as cleaning with a damp cloth and not washing in a washing machine.
A laptop backpack for work needs to hold more than just a computer. Think about a charger, mouse, documents, lunch and a water bottle. A laptop backpack with multiple compartments makes it easier to keep small items separate, but lots of compartments can also make the bag heavier.
For everyday use, these features are practical and worth checking:
A laptop backpack with a USB port usually only contains the pass-through or connection in the bag. A power bank is generally not included. Check exactly what is included with the delivery. A laptop backpack with a trolley strap can also make travelling easier, but it does not replace good weight distribution.

No, not automatically. The screen diagonal is only one measurement. Compare the width, height and thickness of your laptop with the dimensions of the laptop compartment. Also allow for a protective sleeve.
Its lifespan depends on the material, zips, seams, load and usage. Cycling every day with a heavily packed backpack puts more strain on the shoulder straps and base than occasional use. Do not overfill the bag and follow the manufacturer’s care instructions.
It can be practical when commuting or travelling. The USB connection usually works with your own power bank. Check whether the power bank is included and make sure cables are stored without being kinked or left dangling.
