A 15.6 inch laptop backpack might seem straightforward to choose at first glance. Yet small differences in compartment layout, materials and carrying comfort can make a big difference during your commute, a school day or a short trip. A bag that looks roomy enough can, in practice, offer too little protection. And a USB port sounds handy, but it doesn't always work without your own power bank and cable.
This buying guide helps men and women in the Netherlands translate marketing claims into verifiable features.
A water-repellent laptop backpack is designed to temporarily ward off light rain and splashes. That doesn't automatically mean the seams, zips and base will hold up against prolonged rain or a wet cycle path. So check whether the product information only mentions "water repellent" or also includes a specific waterproof rating, such as an IP or hydrostatic value. For the models discussed here, water repellence is mentioned in the product name, but no formal waterproof rating is stated.
"15.6 inch" refers to the screen diagonal, not the external dimensions of every laptop. A business laptop with wide bezels, a sturdy casing or an extra battery can be larger than a slim consumer laptop. Therefore, measure your own laptop and compare those dimensions with the laptop compartment. A few extra centimetres of space may also be needed for a protective case.
A laptop backpack with multiple compartments can keep cables, documents, accessories and a water bottle organised. However, too many narrow compartments make the bag less flexible. Pay attention to the balance between a padded laptop compartment, a spacious main compartment and smaller pockets for, say, a charger, mouse and keys.
Look for a separate laptop compartment with enough space around the computer. A padded base and side walls are practical when you set the bag down on the floor. Also check whether the laptop compartment closes with Velcro, a zip or an elastic band. That gives you a better idea of the protection than just the "15.6 inch" label.
The product titles in this selection mention a suitable size for a 15.6 inch laptop. You'll need to check the exact internal dimensions and padding thickness on each product page.
For daily use, synthetic fabrics are often lightweight and easy to clean. Canvas can have a more casual look, but requires extra attention to the finishing of seams and closures. "Water resistant" or "water repellent" in practical terms means: suitable for splashes and brief light rain, not automatically for prolonged exposure to a downpour.
If you cycle a lot, consider using a separate rain cover. That's especially useful when the backpack is left outside for longer periods or when documents and electronics need to stay dry.
A lightweight backpack is pleasant for commuting and school, but a slim design may offer less room for a lunchbox, clothes or books. Look at:
A business backpack often has a sleek design and a layout for documents and accessories. For travel, a roomier main compartment may be more important than a slim silhouette.
A laptop backpack with a USB port typically has a connection that lets you link a power bank inside the bag to a cable on the outside. The backpack does not normally supply power itself. So check whether the power bank and cable are included. Also see if the connection is compatible with your phone and whether the cable is easy to replace.
Why this fits the profile: The combination of a 15.6 inch label, a business design, a lightweight profile and a USB charging port suits daily office, study and commuting use.
The product name mentions the USB port and water-repellent, lightweight design. Before buying, do check the internal dimensions and whether a power bank is needed.

The manufacturer information listed states Gaobeidian Daquan Leather Goods Co., Ltd. as the manufacturer and JINGDONG RETAIL (NETHERLANDS) B.V. as the responsible party in the EU. This is useful product information, but always check the current specifications, dimensions and included accessories on the product page.
We've put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
Not always. The screen diagonal is only one measurement. Measure the width, height and thickness of your laptop and compare these with the dimensions of the laptop compartment. Allow for a protective case and any protruding parts.
For light rain and splashes, a water-repellent design can be practical. In prolonged or heavy rain, a separate rain cover is wiser. Pay particular attention to the zips, seams and base: water can still get in there.
Usually not. A USB connection in a laptop backpack is typically a pass-through between an external port and a power bank in the main compartment. The power bank and cable are not necessarily included. Check the product information before assuming you can charge on the go straight away.
