A 15.6-inch laptop backpack may seem easy to choose at first glance. However, not every model labelled for this size will actually fit every laptop properly. Thin shoulder straps, awkward compartments and exaggerated water-resistance claims can also make a backpack feel less comfortable than expected after just a few weeks.
This buying guide explains what to look for in a backpack with a laptop compartment, which features matter to users in the Netherlands and which models suit different everyday situations.
A 15.6-inch laptop has a screen diagonal of 15.6 inches, but its body dimensions can vary from one brand and model to another. So do not rely solely on the size stated in the product title—check the dimensions of the laptop compartment as well. A robust gaming laptop, for example, is often thicker and wider than a slim office laptop.
One of the models in this selection states in its name that it is suitable for laptops up to 15.6 inches, while the product description mentions compatibility up to 14 inches. This contradiction is a good reason to check the current specifications and dimensions before buying.
A water-resistant laptop backpack can keep light rain out temporarily, but that does not mean its contents will stay dry during a heavy downpour. Pay attention to the wording used:
According to the NINETYGO product description, the fabric has level 4 water-repellent protection. The same description also states that the backpack is not fully waterproof and should not be exposed to heavy rain for extended periods.
A multi-compartment backpack makes it easier to organise a charger, phone, books and accessories. However, too many small pockets can reduce the usable space in the main compartment. Check whether the layout suits what you carry every day.
For a student, a spacious main compartment is important for books and lunch. A commuter may benefit more from a separate laptop compartment, quick access to a phone and a luggage strap.
Focus on three points:
A large laptop backpack can be useful for school or work, but an overly spacious backpack can quickly become heavy when fully loaded. In addition to capacity, consider the bag’s own weight.
Materials such as canvas and synthetic fabrics have different properties. A product description may, for example, mention 900D tear-resistant fabric. This is a technical indication of a relatively dense, heavyweight fibre or weave, but it does not automatically indicate how every seam, zip and handle will perform.
Also check the care instructions. According to the product information, the NINETYGO model can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Hand-washing and air-drying are recommended, while machine washing and tumble drying are discouraged.
For commuting or long days at school, adjustable shoulder straps, a sturdy handle and a supportive back structure are practical features. Check the following:
A multifunctional backpack is particularly useful when you switch between cycling, trains, the office and lecture halls.
Why it fits: A practical choice for school pupils and students looking for a lightweight backpack for a laptop, books and everyday essentials.
The product title states compatibility with laptops up to 15.6 inches. Before buying, check the internal dimensions against your laptop.

No. Screen size is only one indication. Check the width, height and thickness of your laptop and compare them with the dimensions of the laptop compartment. Also allow room for a protective sleeve.
Always follow the product’s care instructions. For the NINETYGO model, cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. For a more thorough clean, the product description recommends hand-washing and air-drying. Machine washing and tumble drying are discouraged.
Not without additional protection. Water-repellent fabric helps in light rain, but seams, zips and openings can still let moisture through. In prolonged or heavy rain, use a rain cover and preferably keep the laptop in a separate protective sleeve.
