A 15.6-inch laptop backpack may seem straightforward to choose at first glance. However, small design details can have a major impact on everyday use. A laptop compartment that is just too tight, a backpack with poor organisation or water-resistant fabric marketed as fully waterproof can quickly lead to disappointment.
For students, pupils, professionals and commuters, the choice mainly comes down to protection, comfort and capacity. Read on to find out what to look for and which models suit different situations.
A laptop’s screen size does not tell you everything about its external dimensions. A 15.6-inch laptop from one brand may be wider or thicker than another model. Always check the dimensions of the laptop compartment and your own device.
A compartment described as “up to 15.6 inches” is a useful indication, but it is not a guarantee that every model will fit. Also consider the thickness of your laptop’s protective case.
A water-resistant laptop backpack can help protect against light rain or splashes. This does not mean that the bag will withstand prolonged exposure to heavy rain. If a product description does not mention a waterproof rating or IP classification, it is best not to assume that the bag is fully waterproof.
A rain cover or a separate waterproof laptop sleeve can provide extra protection when cycling or travelling.
A bag with lots of zipped pockets may look well organised, but small compartments are not always suitable for a large charger, headphones or lunch box. Consider the layout in relation to what you carry every day. For school, a spacious backpack for your laptop and books is often more practical than a narrow model with only a laptop compartment.
A good laptop compartment should keep your computer separate from books, keys and other hard objects. Check:
A business laptop backpack often has a minimalist shape and a separate document compartment. For school, a model with a more spacious main compartment may be more practical.
Nylon and canvas are commonly used for laptop backpacks. Nylon is generally lightweight and easy to wipe clean. Canvas can have a more casual appearance. Do not just look at the fabric; also check:
With a water-resistant bag, you still need to take care around zips and seams. Consider placing important documents or electronics in an additional protective case.
An empty laptop backpack can sometimes weigh more than one kilogram. Add your laptop, adapter, books and accessories to that. For daily commuting, adjustable shoulder straps, a padded back panel and well-distributed weight are important.
A laptop backpack is usually a good choice if you want to keep your hands free while cycling, using public transport or walking. A laptop shoulder bag or laptop briefcase may be more suitable for formal work environments, particularly if you carry the bag for short periods.
A laptop bag with a USB port usually has a pass-through or connection that allows you to connect a smartphone to a power bank inside the bag. The port is generally not a built-in battery. Check whether a power bank is required and whether one is included. In most cases, you will need to purchase it separately.

Also pay attention to maintenance. Clean nylon or canvas with a damp cloth and mild cleaning product if the product information recommends it. Machine washing and direct heat can damage the material, padding and water-resistant properties. Do not overfill the bag: excessive pressure puts strain on zips and seams.
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.
Not always. Screen size is only a guideline. Compare the height, width and thickness of your laptop with the dimensions of the laptop compartment. Remember to allow for a protective case.
Its lifespan depends on the material, zips, seams, load and maintenance. A bag that is filled heavily every day will wear out faster than a model used lightly. Check the base, shoulder straps and zips regularly.
The USB port itself does not use power. You will generally need a separate power bank to charge a device while you are out and about. The cost therefore mainly depends on the power bank you choose and how often you recharge it.
