Practical everyday styles
For everyday use, a well-organised interior is essential: compartments for documents, smartphone pockets and key holders provide structure and convenience. Hybrid backpack designs with tote functionality feature stowable shoulder straps and a side handle. City-sleek models often include extras like an RFID pocket, headphone port and several card slots. If you cycle to the office every day, notebook backpacks with light attachment points and reflective strips are ideal. A rubberised or reinforced bottom is also practical for urban life, optionally supported by base studs for extra stability when setting the bag down. Newer models often include an integrated USB charging port. However, most charging functions require a power bank, which connects to the built-in USB cable—this feature also comes in handy when travelling.
Travel-friendly designs
Most travel backpacks with notebook compartments offer a large opening for easy packing. Checkpoint-friendly backpacks can be unfolded like a book or feature a laptop compartment that can be laid flat on a scanner. For heavier loads, backpack trolleys with a retractable telescopic handle and stowable shoulder straps are a great help. These models can be used as both backpacks and trolleys, making them especially attractive for commuters and business travellers. Another option is a backpack with a trolley strap, which can be secured to a suitcase. Ideal for trips are models with TSA-compliant lockable zips. Travel-ready notebook backpacks often include a valuables compartment hidden on the back or at the base. Among the convenient extras found in travel backpacks is an insulated compartment to keep snacks fresh while you’re on the go.
Specialised designs
One of the most secure options is the typical gaming backpack. It offers all-round protection and stands out with excellent organisation. A gaming backpack is usually padded throughout and comes with labelled compartments for wrist rests, headsets and more. Many gaming models also unfold 180 degrees for ease of access. Notebook backpacks designed for graphic designers and photographers feature extra compartments for external storage devices, Pantone colour books, styluses, tripod holders and other gear.
Notebook backpacks: what to consider
The most important factor is the size of the laptop compartment—or the backpack itself. Most models are categorised by inch sizes, which only refer to the screen diagonal and don’t reflect the actual dimensions of the device. To account for frame thickness and overall device depth, you should also check the backpack’s exact measurements. When packing, make sure your laptop fits snugly but not too tightly. Avoid overstuffing your notebook backpack to prevent pressure on the device or screen damage. Separate compartments for accessories help keep things organised so you don’t need to store charging cables or a computer mouse loosely inside the main compartment. Elasticated side pockets for drinks are another useful feature, offering extra protection from potential water damage. Only place your computer in the designated compartment when fully powered off—not in standby mode—to prevent overheating. Avoid crumbs, dust and sand, as laptops attract dirt of all kinds. Empty and shake out your backpack regularly. Also pay attention to the model’s empty weight—the heavier it is, the more advanced the carrying system needs to be. Wide shoulder straps and a stabilising chest strap are always recommended, and larger models often come with a padded hip belt.
