Best Laptop Backpack 2022

Still, laptops aren't netbooks: you can't find one below 4 pounds: you're lucky if yours is below 5 pounds like mine. That's still weighs as much as 4 or 5 pounds of sugar. Remember that joke about what's heavier... a pound of sugar or a pound of lead? 

Since when I travel I don't generally take a lot with me, I go for backpacks, not rolling laptop bags. Since I usually use public transport I do need a bag that will not turn my back sideways, which is what messenger bags do. When it comes to wheels, they are just more fuss, though I do have a rolling suitcase for longer trips. 

So... what are the best laptop bags? I love the Belkin laptop backbags: they protect your laptop very well and they come in all sizes. The smallest will hold only your laptop, your diary, phone and accesories, whereas the largest will have room for books or even supplies for staying the night.

Of course the main thing to take into account when buying a laptop backpack is the size: the laptop compartment should be large enough to fit your laptop - you don't need larger, though it can't hurt. So take care to look whether your laptop is 13, 14, 15, 16 or even 17 inch. In general I don't advise buying such large laptops if you actually want to carry them around, but once you have, you'd better make sure to protect your back as best you can.
