Laptop Backpacks for Women

What our 10 laptop backpacks for women offer

Six of them state a screen size. Our chic 16 inch laptop backpack takes a laptop of 11 to 16 inches, the roll top laptop backpack and the grey faux leather laptop backpack go up to 15.6 inches, the vegan leather laptop backpack is sized for 14 inches, our vintage laptop backpack with buckles for 13, 14 or 15 inches, and the ergonomic 40x30x20 cabin backpack for up to 17 inches. Three describe a padded section for the laptop: the grey faux leather style, our vintage faux leather laptop backpack and our vintage leather backpack for women in split leather. The vintage backpack with buckles keeps a charger, a mouse, a notebook and keys in separate pockets.

For a stylish laptop backpack for women that copes with the weather, several describe their fabric as waterproof, from the nylon of the chic 16 inch style to the PU of our vintage faux leather backpack. At 0.48 kg, it is the lighter of the two styles that state a weight, the roll top weighing 855 g. The roll top and the grey faux leather style have a USB port for charging your devices on the move. The chic 16 inch style has a hidden pocket on the back and a strap that slides over a suitcase handle, and the 40x30x20 style has an anti-theft zip pocket on the back, a separate pocket for shoes or damp clothes and an opening of 180 degrees.

The grey faux leather style and the vegan leather style also take A4, and the vegan leather style can be carried on the shoulder or by hand. The roll top, the 40x30x20 style and the tactical style have padded, adjustable straps. Our tactical backpack for women has a dedicated laptop compartment, two 750 ml bottle holders, a MOLLE system and a port for a hydration bladder (not included). Its water-repellent Oxford fabric protects against everyday damp, though long spells of heavy rain are best avoided. Stated capacities run from under 20 litres, on the 0.48 kg faux leather style and the split leather style, to 35 litres on the tactical style and on the grey and the vintage faux leather laptop backpacks, both stated at 20 to 35 litres. Most come in black.

How do you choose the size of the laptop compartment?

Inches measure the diagonal of the screen, not the size of the device. Choose a style stated for a size equal to or larger than your screen, and allow a little extra room if your laptop has a wide bezel. If the product page gives no screen size, do not assume that a 15.6 inch laptop will fit. Check the inside dimensions. As for materials, the selection ranges from nylon and Oxford fabric to PU leather, so read the composition on each product page.

A laptop backpack for women to take to work

For the office, look for a padded compartment kept apart from the rest, a pocket for the charger and documents, and an understated look that goes from the meeting to the journey home. You can tell an elegant laptop backpack for women by its clean front and discreet fastenings, and an opening on the side worn against your back adds protection against theft.
