Tips before buying a laptop bag
Each laptop bag has a compartment created especially for your PC. To help the consumer, brands display the maximum screen size (in inches) that their bag can support.
However, it is still possible to insert a 16-inch laptop in a bag announcing a maximum size of 15 inches.
The level of protection varies from one bag to another, some are completely padded and others have only the bottom or the internal padded pocket.
In addition to your laptop, you will need space for its charging cable, for a mouse, an external hard drive, a pencil case, a bottle of water, documents or your keys.
The multiple pockets are very practical because they allow you to organize all your belongings. With backpacks that have an additional compartment, you can store bulky items such as your sports shoes.
It is also important to look at the liter capacity of the backpack. The higher it is, the bigger (and usually heavier) the bag.
Some backpacks include a compartment for tablets, smartphones and audio players, gaps allow you to slip in your headphones.
It is therefore advantageous to have a bag with several pockets since it allows you to independently access your equipment without going through the main pocket. This ingenious separation tends to discourage potential thieves.
When looking for a backpack, look for ones with well-padded straps (especially if you have to walk long distances) and a chest strap to stabilize the load.
Another essential criterion is water resistance inside and outside. If this is a priority, remember that only bags displaying this feature will truly protect your computer equipment.
Otherwise, you can buy a waterproof cover to cover your backpack in case of pouring rain, for example.
Bag prices vary widely, basically you don't always get what you pay for.
Buying a laptop bag from a fashion brand, for example, may be more expensive, but its closures are not guaranteed to be any better than a cheaper bag.
