Office Laptop Backpacks

How to choose an office backpack

1. Match the laptop compartment to your laptop

Measure your laptop diagonally and check the size on the product page. The backpacks here are listed for laptops up to 17 or 17.3 inches, so a 15.6-inch laptop fits all of them with room to spare. If you carry a 17-inch laptop, pick a model that states 17 inches or more.

2. Pick the capacity for your working day

35 litres holds a laptop, charger, files and a lunch box for a normal office day. 40 to 45 litres adds space for a change of clothes or gym kit. 50 litres suits work trips and overnight stays; see our travel laptop backpacks if you travel often.

3. Plan for rain and crowded commutes

Most of these backpacks use water-resistant fabric, which handles light rain. For heavy monsoon rain, choose a model that comes with a rain cover, such as the Heden 40L. If you ride crowded buses or metros, an anti-theft pocket on the back panel keeps your phone and wallet against your back; see all anti-theft laptop backpacks.

4. Check comfort features

For long commutes, look for a padded grab handle, a breathable back panel and height-adjustable straps. Each product page lists what that model has.
