The Best Laptop Bags

Ytonet’s laptop bag is roomy enough to store more than a laptop.

The bag protects laptops up to 17’’ thanks to a shockproof protective compartment. There are three other major pockets in the bag as well. Two front zippers will house smaller loose items like pens, notebooks, snacks, and your wallet. In the main compartment, there’s plenty of space for documents, tablets, and other larger items you want to keep secure.

Part of what makes this bag our favorite is the expansion zipper, which expands the bag by nearly two inches, enabling you to pack in miscellaneous items like snacks, drinks or books.

Key Features

• Shockproof protective layer for laptop
• Equipped with carrying handles, a luggage strap, and a detachable shoulder strap
• Four primary pockets of varying sizes
• Expansion zipper than expands width of the bag from 6’’ to 7.7’’

Matein’s laptop bag has a spot for everything you could possibly need.

The front most pocket has a key fob hook, two pockets perfect for a phone or similarly-sized device, and pen slots. The main compartment has an extra-padded pocket to guard your laptop, as well as an abundance of space for other gadgets and items. Mesh pockets on each side are great for storing items you want easy access to like a bottled drink or umbrella.

Additional features like an anti-theft back pocket and external USB port are two added bonuses. In order to take advantage of the USB port, you’ll need your own power bank and charging cable.

Even if you pack this bag to the brim, the multi-panel ventilated back padding aids in reducing back strain, which we love.

This bag is an excellent option if you want an all-in-one laptop bag.

• Variety of colors and sizes
• External USB port
• Water-resistant polyester with metal zippers

The back is heavily padded to relieve pressure from carrying bulky materials. The shoulder straps are heavily padded as well, so your back shouldn’t feel too achy after a long day of carrying around the backpack!

If you’re on the move and need to stay hydrated, you’ll love the flexible, tall mesh drink holders on each side of the bag.

Solo’s bag can shapeshift from a shoulder bag into a backpack in the snap of a finger. Simply clip on the padded shoulder strap, or pull out the padded backpack straps from their zippered compartment, snap in place, and you’re ready to go! We’re also a fan of the padded handles with a magnetic snap to easily carry as a briefcase if desired.

While not as roomy as other laptop backpacks, there is still storage space for items other than your computer. Separate laptop and tablet compartments keep your devices protected, while an easy access front zippered pocket is great for a phone or keys.

Key Features

• Padded handles, detachable shoulder, and stowaway backpack straps
• Laptop and tablet compartments accommodate devices up to 15.6 inches
• Organized and quick access pockets
• Available in three colors
