A laptop backpack for a 15.6 inch laptop might seem straightforward to choose at first glance. Yet many models turn out to be too small, awkwardly organised or insufficiently protected against a British downpour. Extra features like a USB port or roll-top closure sound appealing, but they aren't useful for every user.
With these points in mind, you can avoid a bad purchase and find a 15.6 inch laptop backpack that suits your daily needs.
A 15.6 inch laptop doesn't always have the same external dimensions. The screen size mainly refers to the diagonal; the casing can vary by brand and model. So check the dimensions of your laptop and compare them with the measurements of the laptop compartment. Also pay attention to:
A backpack that simply says "15.6 inch" isn't automatically a perfect fit for every device with that screen size.
A water-resistant laptop backpack can help ward off light rain, but that doesn't mean the contents will stay dry during a heavy downpour. Look out for the difference between:
For cycling in changeable weather, a well-sealed bag is more important than just a smooth outer fabric. A rain cover can also be useful, but check whether one is included.
A bag with many zips and pockets isn't necessarily well organised. Small pockets can actually take up space that could be used for books, a lunchbox or headphones. So think about the items you carry every day. For a work laptop backpack, for example, a separate laptop compartment, a document pocket and a small pocket for keys and cables are often more useful than a large number of narrow compartments.
A spacious backpack for a laptop and accessories shouldn't be unnecessarily large or heavy. Look for padded shoulder straps, an adjustable chest strap and a back panel that doesn't press uncomfortably against your shoulders. If you cycle or use public transport daily, you'll benefit from a model that sits close to your body.
Don't choose a backpack based solely on its maximum volume. A heavy laptop, charger, books and water bottle can quickly become burdensome. Distribute the weight by keeping the laptop close to your back and heavier items at the bottom.
A canvas laptop backpack can have a casual look, while synthetic materials are often easy to clean. The material determines not only the appearance, but also the maintenance and resistance to moisture. Check:
A drawstring or flip-top closure can give quick access to the contents. A roll-top closure can seal the contents when the bag is properly rolled, but requires a bit more effort than a standard zip.
A laptop backpack with a USB port can be handy on the go, but the port doesn't charge on its own. You'll need a power bank connected inside the bag. Also check where the cable opening is and whether your phone stays safely stored while you're walking or cycling.
An expandable model can be practical if you sometimes need to carry extra clothes or travel essentials. For daily use, however, a more compact backpack may be more comfortable to wear. Decide in advance whether you're mainly looking for a business laptop backpack, a travel backpack with a laptop compartment, or a backpack for school and travel.
Why this fits the profile: The flip-top closure and roomy layout suit students, school pupils and new laptop users who want one bag for school, work and city use.

Why this fits the profile: The roll-top closure suits commuters and urban cyclists who regularly adjust their bag to a smaller or larger capacity.

No, not always. The external dimensions of laptops vary by brand and model. So measure the length, width and thickness of your laptop and compare these measurements with the laptop compartment. Also allow room for a protective case and the space needed to easily remove the laptop from the bag.
The lifespan depends on the weight, how often it's carried, the material and how the bag is set down. Regularly check the seams, shoulder straps, zips and base. A bag that's heavily loaded every day will need more maintenance than a model used occasionally.
That depends on how you use it. The USB port can be handy if you use a power bank on the go. Without a power bank, the connection has no independent charging function. For those who mainly travel to school or the office and rarely charge on the move, a good laptop compartment and comfortable shoulder straps are usually more important.
