A 15.6-inch laptop bag needs to do more than simply hold your laptop. Whether you’re commuting, studying or travelling, carrying comfort, protection, compartments and ease of travel all matter too. Yet it’s easy to buy a bag that disappoints in practice.
So watch out for these common pitfalls:
Don’t just look for ‘suitable for 15.6 inches’; check the internal dimensions too. A laptop compartment measuring, for example, 38,5 × 26,5 × 3,1 cm may fit a standard laptop well, but that doesn’t mean it’ll fit every larger model.
Measure your laptop in three places:
A padded compartment should hold your laptop in place without you having to force the zip closed. A compartment that’s too roomy will also offer less stability when cycling or travelling.
A 15.6-inch laptop sleeve is a good choice if you’re mainly looking for a lightweight layer of protection to use inside a rucksack or larger bag. A shoulder bag, briefcase or rucksack usually offers more space and can provide extra protection around your laptop.
Look out for these features:
According to the product descriptions for some models, their materials can withstand light rain or splashes. Treat this as a practical feature, not protection against prolonged submersion.
A laptop shoulder bag is handy if you often walk between the train, office and lecture theatre. For longer distances, a laptop rucksack can distribute the weight more evenly. A laptop briefcase is better suited to a formal working environment and shorter journeys.
These details are especially useful when travelling:

No. Screen size doesn’t tell you everything about the laptop’s casing. Measure its width, depth and thickness, then compare these with the stated dimensions of the laptop compartment. Gaming laptops and models with wide screen bezels can be particularly large.
Yes, a laptop bag with a trolley strap can be handy at railway stations and airports. Slide it over a suitcase handle to make it easier to carry your luggage. Just check that the strap is sturdy enough and that the bag doesn’t become too heavy once you’ve packed all your accessories.
Wipe the bag with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let it dry completely. Don’t use harsh cleaning products unless the manufacturer specifically says they’re suitable. Water-repellent material doesn’t automatically protect against heavy rain, submersion or an open zip.
