Laptop backpack with padded laptop compartment for 13 to 17 inches
A laptop backpack is a backpack with a padded compartment that protects your laptop while you carry the weight on both shoulders. This collection includes laptop backpacks from Eastpak, Samsonite, Kapten & Son, Travelite, Dakine and American Tourister: from compact models for a 13-inch laptop to large backpacks for 17-inch laptops with a document compartment.
Which laptop compartment size do you need?
Measure the screen diagonal of your laptop in inches. A 13- or 14-inch compartment is suitable for compact laptops, while a 15.6- or 17-inch compartment is better for larger models. Not sure which size to choose? Go one size up, so your laptop can also fit in a sleeve. Women’s models can be found among the laptop backpacks for women, while men’s models are listed with the laptop backpacks for men.
What should you look for in comfort and organisation?
Wide, adjustable shoulder straps and a breathable back panel make a long day more comfortable. A document compartment keeps papers flat, while dividers give cables and your charger a fixed place. A top handle is useful on the train and when hanging up your backpack. Some models have a trolley sleeve, allowing you to slide the backpack over the handle of your suitcase.
Laptop backpack for school or work?
For school, choose a sturdy model with a compartment for a 15.6-inch laptop, such as the Morius school backpack from Eastpak. For the office, you could choose the Day Office from Eastpak for 16-inch laptops or the Bergen Pro from Kapten & Son for 15-inch laptops. More models for students can be found among the school backpacks.
How do you care for a laptop backpack?
Clean polyester and nylon with a slightly damp cloth and leave the backpack open to dry at room temperature. Remove the laptop before cleaning the backpack. Check the zips and the seams of the shoulder straps from time to time.
