A rucksack may seem straightforward to choose, until you need to carry a laptop, documents, charger and personal belongings every day. That is when weak zips, an impractical layout or inadequate protection from rain quickly become apparent. Terms such as “waterproof”, “laptop rucksack” and “large capacity” do not always tell the full story either.
Pay particular attention to these common pitfalls:
A 15.6-inch laptop rucksack is a practical choice for many office and school laptops. Even so, always check your laptop’s dimensions. The inch measurement refers to the screen diagonal; the external dimensions of laptops can vary by brand and model.
Also look out for space for:
A slim laptop rucksack is suitable when you mainly carry technology and documents. For work and travel, an expandable model may be more practical, particularly if you sometimes need to take extra clothes or accessories.
A water-repellent rucksack is useful for commuting in the Netherlands. According to the product description from a brand or seller, a bag may be described as water-repellent, water-resistant or waterproof. Treat such descriptions as product features with limitations, rather than a guarantee of protection during prolonged or heavy rain.
The material also affects maintenance:
If in doubt, check the care instructions on the product page. A bag that is not machine washable should be spot-cleaned.
For a business rucksack that you carry every day, adjustable shoulder straps, a sturdy handle and a practical compartment layout are important considerations. A rucksack for work and travel should not only be spacious, but also remain stable when partially filled.

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.
Not always. Screen size is only one indication. Check your laptop’s length, width and thickness, and compare these with the internal dimensions of the laptop compartment where available.
Its lifespan depends on the load, material, zips, seams and maintenance. A rucksack that is heavily packed every day will generally wear out faster than a bag used lightly. Distribute the weight, avoid overloading and follow the care instructions. Products in the EU are covered by the statutory guarantee; the Michael Kors models in this overview are listed as having a minimum statutory guarantee of two years.
The price varies depending on the material, brand, capacity and features. A basic laptop rucksack is often sufficient for the office and school. A leather rucksack or Michael Kors rucksack places greater emphasis on the material and appearance. So do not compare the price alone; also consider laptop protection, dimensions, compartments, carrying comfort and care requirements.
