A 15.6-inch laptop rucksack may seem like a simple purchase at first glance. However, a rucksack can prove disappointing in everyday use if the laptop compartment is too tight, offers little protection from rain or has an interior layout that does not suit your laptop charger and accessories. Students, professionals and commuters often use the same rucksack in several situations: on the way to the office, on the train, at school or during a short trip.
So do not just focus on its appearance or words such as “business” and “large capacity”. Pay particular attention to the dimensions, the material and how you plan to use the rucksack.
The 15.6-inch designation refers to the screen diagonal. Laptop dimensions vary between brands and models. A laptop with a wide bezel, a robust protective case or a particularly large casing may therefore fit tightly in a standard laptop compartment.
Check the following before buying:
A 15.6-inch laptop rucksack is therefore not simply a matter of screen size. The internal dimensions determine whether you can carry your device safely and conveniently.
A water-repellent rucksack can help keep out light rain or splashes. This does not automatically mean that the bag can withstand a prolonged downpour, immersion or water entering through the zips. The product description should therefore clearly explain what is meant by water resistance.
Look out for the following:
If no waterproof rating or testing method is specified, treat the rucksack as suitable for everyday rain, not as a fully waterproof laptop rucksack.
A spacious rucksack for work and school is useful, but extra compartments only add value if they are laid out logically. A laptop compartment without sufficient padding, a main compartment that is difficult to open or a USB connection with no explanation may add little in practice.
So check whether the layout suits the items you carry:
A separate laptop compartment prevents your laptop from resting directly against books, cables or other hard objects. Look for padding on the bottom and sides. A sturdy base is particularly useful when you put the rucksack on the ground during your commute.
Do you use a laptop sleeve? Include it in your size comparison. A tight compartment can put strain on the zip and make packing and unpacking unnecessarily difficult.
The products in this selection are described in their product names as water-repellent or water-resistant. This is useful information, but always check the current product page for the precise material composition and care instructions. For example, a canvas model may have a different look and feel from a smooth synthetic model.
A water-repellent rucksack is particularly suitable for urban use, cycling and short journeys between the station, school and the office. For prolonged exposure to rain, a separate rain cover may be a better option.
A lightweight laptop rucksack puts less strain on your shoulders when you carry a laptop, charger and books every day. Look for adjustable shoulder straps, a back panel and a grab handle. The shape is also important for a business rucksack: a slim model takes up less space on the train, while an expandable model offers greater flexibility when travelling.
A USB port can be useful for a laptop rucksack with USB port, but check whether it is an external connection with a cable pass-through. You will usually need a separate power bank; the USB port is generally not a battery or charger itself.

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. The screen size does not tell you enough about the overall dimensions. Compare the width, height and thickness of your laptop with the internal dimensions of the laptop compartment. Allow for a protective case and any accessories.
Use a rain cover if one is designed for the model or available separately. You should also place electronic devices in a protective case and allow a wet rucksack to dry out completely at home. Water-repellent material does not automatically protect against prolonged or heavy rain.
Usually not. On a laptop rucksack with USB port, the connection is generally designed to link a power bank inside the bag to your phone. Check the product information and use a suitable power bank according to the manufacturer's instructions.
