A 15.6-inch laptop backpack may seem easy to choose at first glance. However, a laptop compartment that is too tight, awkward zips or a heavy design can quickly make everyday use frustrating. A backpack that looks spacious in the product photo does not always offer enough room for a laptop, charger, books and a water bottle.
So don’t focus only on colour or price. Pay particular attention to the laptop dimensions, layout, portability and protection against rain. Below, you’ll find the key points to consider and which models suit different users in the Netherlands.
A 15.6-inch screen size does not tell you everything about a laptop’s external dimensions. Models with wide bezels, a thicker design or a sturdy casing may need more space. Always check your laptop’s dimensions and compare them with the actual size of the laptop compartment.
The NINETYGO College-Style Dual-Shoulder Backpack title states that it supports laptops up to 15.6 inches, while the product specifications in the description mention compatibility with laptops up to 14 inches. That’s why you should check the current size chart and product information before buying.
A water-resistant laptop backpack can help keep out light rain temporarily, but it does not automatically provide protection during prolonged or heavy rain. According to the product description, the NINETYGO College-Style backpack has a water-resistance level of 4. The same description warns that the material is not completely waterproof.
When carrying a laptop, always use common sense: close all the zips, place electronics in the laptop compartment and consider using a rain cover for longer bike journeys. A water-resistant laptop backpack is mainly an extra layer of protection, not a guarantee against moisture.
A spacious backpack for school or work is useful, but a large main compartment can encourage you to carry too much. Check the weight of the empty bag and how the load is distributed. A lightweight backpack may be ideal for commuting, while a larger travel backpack can offer more compartments and greater carrying comfort.
Look for a backpack with a laptop compartment that matches the dimensions of your device. Also check:
For a work laptop backpack, separate compartments for documents, a mouse, power bank and keys are often more practical than one large compartment. Students and schoolchildren will usually also need space for books, notebooks and a pencil case.
Product descriptions use terms such as “water resistant”, “water repellent” and “tear-resistant”. These terms do not automatically mean the same thing. Look for specific information about the material and care instructions.
According to the product information, the NINETYGO College-Style backpack uses 900D tear-resistant fabric and has a water-repellent finish. The manufacturer recommends cleaning it with a damp cloth or gently hand-washing it and allowing it to air-dry. This gives you more useful information than a general claim on the product page.
A lightweight backpack is worth considering if you travel by bike, train or bus every day. According to the product specifications, the NINETYGO Tiny Backpack weighs 194 grams and has a capacity of 12 litres. This makes it suitable for a tablet, a few books and everyday essentials, but the product information does not mention a 15.6-inch laptop compartment.
For those carrying more belongings, the HP Travel backpack has a stated capacity of 25 litres, expandable to 30 litres. According to the specifications, the model weighs 860 grams and has chest straps and several storage compartments. A larger capacity does mean that you can load the bag more heavily more quickly.
Why it suits this profile: This backpack is designed for everyday use, school, work, sport and short trips. Its spacious layout can be useful for people looking for one bag for several activities.
The description mentions a spacious main compartment and additional pockets. However, check before buying whether your 15.6-inch laptop will actually fit in a suitable laptop compartment; this is not specifically stated.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
Use this quick checklist before ordering a laptop backpack for men or women:
No. Screen size is only one indication. The laptop’s physical dimensions, thickness and any case will determine whether the compartment is suitable. Measure your device and compare it with the backpack’s specifications.
Its lifespan depends on the material, how heavily it is loaded, the weather and how often you use the bag. Overloading can put extra strain on the seams, zips and shoulder straps. A bag made from tear-resistant fabric may be worth considering for intensive use, but check the seams and carrying straps too.
It can be useful for commuting or travelling, provided you use a suitable power bank. The USB port is usually a pass-through connection to a power bank inside the bag, rather than a built-in battery. Check the connection and keep the power bank safely stored in a separate compartment.
