A backpack seems easy to choose, until you’re carrying it through a crowded train, a lecture theatre or an airport. One model may look spacious, yet still not fit a 15.6-inch laptop. A bag may be described as water-resistant without being suitable for prolonged exposure to rain. And a USB port will only work if you bring a compatible power bank.
So the right choice isn’t about colour or trends to begin with. It’s about size, organisation, carrying comfort and what you’ll use it for.
A backpack measuring 40 x 30 x 20 cm has those external dimensions. Zips, lining and pockets take up space inside. Also check that the stated size meets your airline’s current baggage rules. A Ryanair backpack for under the seat must not only meet the external size limit; it must also fit beneath the seat when packed.
Water-resistant polyester or Oxford fabric can help repel light rain. That doesn’t necessarily mean the seams, zips and base will stay waterproof in prolonged wet weather. If you cycle to work with a laptop every day, it’s worth using a separate cover or waterproof inner sleeve.
A backpack with a USB port usually comes with just a cable and an external socket. The power bank is generally not included, so the port won’t charge your device by itself. A combination lock is also a deterrent, not a guarantee against theft. Don’t leave valuables unattended.
Choose a size based on what you carry each day:
Always check a cabin backpack or hand luggage backpack against the rules of the airline you’re travelling with. Dimensions of 40 x 20 x 25 cm and 40 x 30 x 20 cm are not interchangeable.
A backpack for a 15.6-inch laptop needs more than just a compartment labelled for that size. Look for:
A 15.6-inch screen size doesn’t tell you everything about a laptop’s external dimensions. Measure your device and compare its size with the product specifications.
A lightweight backpack is handy on the train, in a bike basket or on a plane, but a lightweight construction won’t always offer enough protection. Padded, adjustable shoulder straps and a breathable back panel are particularly useful if you’ll be carrying the bag for several hours.
Multiple compartments make it easier to organise books, cables and documents. Too many small pockets can actually reduce the usable space. Think about what you carry every day before you buy.
Why it suits this profile: Its compact 40 x 20 x 25 cm size and 20-litre capacity make it a good fit for travellers looking for a personal bag for short flights. Always check your airline’s current rules before you travel.
The external dimensions and capacity are clearly stated, helping you avoid choosing a bag that’s too big to fit under the seat.

Why it suits this profile: According to the product specifications, the bag has a capacity of around 24 litres, weighs approximately 0.5 kg and has three compartments for short trips, commuting and business travel.

We’ve put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
That depends on the airline and your ticket type. Check the current permitted dimensions and compare them with the backpack’s external dimensions. A bag measuring 40 x 30 x 20 cm is different to use from a 40 x 20 x 25 cm model, even though both may be sold as cabin or hand luggage backpacks.
No. The 15.6-inch label usually refers to the maximum screen size, but laptops come in different case dimensions. Measure your laptop’s length, width and thickness, and check the dimensions of the compartment too. A padded compartment also offers more protection than a simple open pocket.
Follow the product’s care instructions. For the KONO laptop backpack mentioned above, cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is recommended; soaking it and machine washing are not. Leave the backpack to air-dry completely, and avoid harsh cleaning products that could damage the fabric or coating.
