A laptop backpack may seem straightforward at first glance: choose the right size, put your laptop inside and set off. In practice, problems often only become apparent after a few weeks. A laptop compartment that is too small, insufficient space for the charger or a backpack that lets water through during a shower can make everyday carrying awkward.
For university students, school pupils, professionals, home workers and commuters, these three pitfalls are particularly important:
A 15.6-inch laptop backpack is suitable for many office and study laptops. However, casing dimensions vary by brand and model. Measure the laptop itself, including any sturdy protective case, and compare it with the internal dimensions of the compartment.
Pay attention to the following categories:
A laptop backpack with a laptop compartment protects your device more effectively when the compartment is padded and does not sit loosely against other belongings. Ideally, place heavy accessories such as an adapter or power bank in a separate compartment.
Look for specific terms in the product information, such as water-resistant, splash-resistant or water-repellent. If there is no official IP rating or stated hydrostatic head, do not assume the backpack is fully waterproof.
A protective design generally includes:
A “waterproof laptop backpack” is therefore a term that should be assessed critically in practice. The term water-resistant mainly indicates protection against light rain or splashes, not prolonged use in a downpour.
A lightweight bag is comfortable for everyday commuting. However, a 500-gram backpack may have less reinforcement than a 900-gram model. Look at the combination of empty weight, capacity, shoulder straps and back support.
A capacity of around 15 to 20 litres is often enough for a laptop, charger, notebook and lunch. For business travel or clothing, 25 litres or more is more practical. A business laptop backpack with separate compartments prevents documents, cables and personal belongings from getting mixed together.
Useful features for commuters and travellers include:

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 diagonal is only one indication. Check the laptop’s width, depth and height, and compare them with the dimensions of the laptop compartment. Allow for a protective case if you use one.
Its lifespan depends on the material, zips, load and conditions of use. A bag that is filled heavily every day will wear out faster than a backpack used occasionally. Distribute the weight, do not overfill the bag and clean it according to the instructions. According to the product information, the models mentioned come with a statutory minimum two-year guarantee; additional rights may apply.
Not for most users. A laptop backpack with RFID protection can be useful if you travel frequently and carry bank cards or identity documents in the bag. The feature only protects the contents it is designed for and does not eliminate every risk associated with loss or theft. It is therefore also worth considering the zips, compartment layout and your own travel habits.
