A 15.6-inch laptop backpack needs to do more than simply carry a laptop. Students often take books and lunch with them, commuters want room for chargers and documents, while travellers look for a bag that can also hold clothing or accessories. Yet in photos, a laptop backpack often seems roomier, sturdier or better protected than it proves to be in everyday use.
So pay particular attention to these common pitfalls:
A 15.6-inch screen only tells you about the diagonal measurement. A wide bezel, extra-sturdy casing or unusual shape may still prevent the laptop from fitting. Measure the width, depth and thickness of your laptop and compare these measurements with the product specifications.
A well-fitting compartment keeps the device in place without requiring you to push it in firmly. Too much room can cause the laptop to slide against other items while you are walking. Ideally, place chargers and hard accessories in separate compartments so that they do not press directly against the computer.
Polyester and canvas are common materials for laptop backpacks. Polyester is generally practical for everyday use, while canvas often gives a more casual appearance. The product description should clearly state whether a bag is water-repellent. Do not take this as a guarantee that the contents will remain completely dry.
Also look for:
For example, the product information for the HP Travel backpack mentions a dedicated laptop compartment, lockable zips and a concealed RFID-blocking pocket. RFID protection is designed for certain contactless communication signals; it is not a substitute for general protection against loss or theft.
For school and work, a laptop backpack for work and school is often more practical when it separates your laptop, documents and accessories. For travelling, extra capacity is more important. A travel backpack with a laptop compartment should also be easy to open and offer room for items such as a jumper, bottle and power bank.
A capacity of 20 to 30 litres is useful for many everyday situations, but more capacity can quickly mean more weight. A lightweight laptop backpack is comfortable for cycling and commuting. Check whether the shoulder straps are adjustable and whether there is a chest strap if you plan to carry the bag for longer periods.
Why it suits this profile: This canvas laptop backpack is designed for everyday use at school, work and on short trips. Its casual appearance suits users looking for a simple bag without a distinctly business-style design.
The product title mentions a laptop compartment for 15.6-inch laptops and water resistance. Before buying, check your laptop’s exact dimensions and do not treat water-resistant as fully waterproof.

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.
A laptop backpack will last longer if you avoid regularly overloading it. Heavy books or a drinks bottle should be placed as close to your back and as low down in the main compartment as possible. Use the laptop compartment only for the laptop and put cables in a separate case. This helps prevent pressure points and scratches.
Clean a canvas or polyester bag according to the manufacturer’s washing or care instructions. Do not put a wet bag away for a long time, and check the zips, seams and shoulder straps regularly. If the laptop compartment shows visible damage, replacing the bag is wiser than continuing to rely on a thin layer of padding.
No. The screen size does not provide a complete indication of the dimensions. Compare the external measurements of your laptop with the stated dimensions of the laptop compartment. Pay particular attention to business laptops, gaming laptops and models with a thick casing.
A water-repellent outer material can be useful in light rain. The term does not automatically mean that the seams, zips and internal compartments are completely waterproof. In prolonged or heavy rain, a rain cover or additional laptop sleeve is a practical extra.
A compact model may be enough if you are only carrying a laptop, charger and a few documents. If you also take books, lunch, clothing or sports kit with you, a spacious laptop backpack of around 20 to 30 litres is a better choice. Do not choose based on capacity alone: a larger bag can become heavier once all the compartments are filled.
