A 15.6-inch laptop backpack with a USB port may seem easy to choose at first. But small differences in size, protection and layout can make a big difference during a busy working day, a train journey or a day at university. A laptop compartment that’s just too small, a USB port with no clear cable connection, or a backpack that only resists splashes can quickly lead to disappointment.
Use this buying guide to compare the key features and find models to suit different needs.
The 15.6-inch measurement refers to the screen diagonal, not the overall dimensions of your laptop. The casing can vary from one model to another, so always check the maximum laptop dimensions in centimetres and compare them with your device.
A backpack measuring 50 x 14 x 30 cm, such as the KONO, is listed as suitable for laptops up to 15.6 inches. It’s still worth measuring your laptop’s thickness and width, especially if you have a gaming laptop or a business model with a larger frame.
An external USB port lets you charge a phone or tablet without opening the backpack. However, the backpack doesn’t supply the power itself. For example, the KONO laptop backpack needs to be connected to your own power bank, which isn’t included.
Check the internal cable, the position of the port and the type of cable you’ll be using. Only use a certified power bank and a suitable cable. The USB port is designed to make charging on the go more convenient; it doesn’t guarantee a particular charging speed.
A water-resistant laptop backpack or water-repellent backpack can help keep out light rain and splashes. That doesn’t mean it will protect your belongings during a prolonged downpour, submersion or moisture getting in through the zips.
For cycling and commuting, a secure opening, a raised laptop compartment and, if needed, a separate rain cover matter more than the marketing term “water resistant” alone. Check the care instructions too. Many models should only be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth and must not be put in the washing machine.
Choose a backpack for a 15.6-inch laptop with a padded, preferably separate laptop compartment. A dedicated compartment stops your laptop sliding around between books, clothes and chargers. As well as checking the laptop size, make sure there’s room for a tablet, A4 documents or a charger.
Multiple compartments are useful for work and study. A laptop backpack with multiple compartments helps keep pens, notebooks, cables and small accessories separate. A large main compartment is especially handy if you’ll also be carrying clothes or travel essentials.
A comfortable laptop backpack has adjustable shoulder straps and a back panel that doesn’t press unnecessarily against your laptop. Padded, breathable straps can make it more comfortable to carry, but good weight distribution is still important.
Where possible, wear both shoulder straps and pack heavier items close to your back. Don’t overload the bag. A slim backpack can be a good choice for a laptop and a few documents, while an expandable business backpack is better suited to longer trips or carrying extra clothes.
An anti-theft laptop backpack may have features such as hidden pockets, lockable zips or a combination lock. These can help deter unwanted access, but they don’t provide absolute security. Don’t leave valuables unattended, even if a bag is described as a laptop backpack with a combination lock.
The KONO has a removable three-digit combination lock designed to secure the main compartment zips. Before using it, check that it’s attached correctly and test the combination at home.

No. The screen size doesn’t tell you everything about the laptop’s external dimensions. Measure its width, height and thickness, then compare these with the stated dimensions of the laptop compartment.
Put your own power bank in the designated internal pocket and connect it to the internal cable. Then plug your phone into the external USB port. A power bank is usually not included, so check what’s in the box before ordering.
Its lifespan depends on the material, zips, load, weather conditions and care. Avoid overloading it, use both shoulder straps and clean the bag according to the instructions. Don’t leave a water-repellent backpack wet in storage for long periods.
