A 15.6-inch laptop backpack needs to do more than simply hold a laptop. For many people in the Netherlands, the bag comes along every day on the train, on a bike, to the office or to class. Comfort, organisation and protection from an unexpected shower all matter.
Marketing copy can sometimes make it difficult to compare models properly. Pay particular attention to these three pitfalls:
A screen size of 15.6 inches, or approximately 39.6 cm diagonally, does not tell you everything about the fit. Measure your laptop’s width, depth and thickness, then compare these measurements with the product information. A sturdy, separate compartment prevents the laptop from constantly rubbing against other belongings.
For commuting, it is also useful if the compartment does not end at the very bottom of the bag. This means the device is less likely to be in direct contact with the ground when you put the backpack down. Also check the zip: a smooth-running zip is convenient, while a lockable zip offers additional control when travelling. This is not a guarantee against theft.
A laptop backpack for work needs to accommodate more than just a computer. Think about a charger, mouse, lunch, water bottle, documents and possibly clothing. For everyday use, 20 to 25 litres may be sufficient. If you often carry extra items, consider an expandable laptop backpack.
Check:
A business laptop backpack with lots of compartments is not automatically more comfortable. A simple layout may work better if you mainly carry a laptop, charger and a few personal belongings.
Polyester and canvas are common materials for laptop backpacks. Polyester is generally lightweight and easy to clean, while canvas can offer a more casual look. Do not just look at the material name: also check the seams, zips, base and fastening.
A laptop backpack with a USB port can be useful when you want to connect a power bank while travelling. Make sure you check exactly what is included, though. On many models, the USB connection is simply a pass-through to your own power bank; the power bank itself is not necessarily included.
A luggage strap can be useful for train or air travel. A travel backpack with a laptop compartment should also offer enough room without becoming unnecessarily large. Always check the dimensions and weight if you want to use the backpack as hand luggage, as permitted sizes vary by carrier.
Why it suits this profile: This model is designed for everyday office work, commuting and short trips. The product title mentions a USB charging port, a lightweight design and water-repellent properties.
The layout is intended for business essentials and a 15.6-inch laptop. Check your laptop’s exact dimensions before buying, and bear in mind that a charging function does not include a power bank unless this is explicitly stated.
Stated features include a USB charging port, water-repellent material and a design for men and women.
Why it suits this profile: This backpack is well suited to professionals and travellers who want to carry a laptop, clothing and accessories in one bag. The stated capacity is 25 litres, expandable to 30 litres.
The separate compartments help prevent your laptop and clothing from becoming mixed together. The manufacturer lists lockable zips and a hidden RFID pocket; these are practical features, but they do not guarantee protection against theft.
25-litre capacity, expandable to 30 litres, chest straps and a stated weight of approximately 860 grams.
Why it suits this profile: This model is designed for people who combine commuting with short trips or weekend breaks. The product title states that its capacity expands from 25 to 35 litres and that it includes a laptop compartment for 15.6-inch laptops.
The expandable capacity means you do not always have to travel with a large bag. For air travel, check the dimensions in both the compact and expanded configurations, and do not exceed the maximum load.
Stated features include 25 to 35 litres of capacity, multiple compartments, a laptop compartment and a water-resistant design.
Why it suits this profile: The roll-top closure and water-repellent design are well suited to everyday cycling and getting around town. According to the product title, the bag is suitable for work, cycling and urban travel.
The roll-top closure avoids a large exposed zip along the top. However, water-repellent does not mean waterproof; use additional protection for your laptop during prolonged rain.

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.
No, not always. The size usually refers to the screen diagonal. The casing can vary from one laptop to another. Measure the laptop itself and check the dimensions of the laptop compartment before ordering.
Its lifespan depends on the weight carried, how often it is used and the quality of the zips, seams and straps. A backpack that is loaded heavily every day will wear out more quickly than a bag used occasionally. Distribute the weight, close all zips fully and do not overload the bag. For the HP model, the information provided states that the minimum legal guarantee is two years; additional rights may apply under the relevant Dutch legislation.
For short journeys in light rain, a water-repellent laptop backpack may be sufficiently practical. However, no claim about water resistance should automatically be taken to mean complete protection. If you cycle every day or spend long periods outdoors, it is advisable to use a rain cover and avoid exposing your laptop to moisture for extended periods.
