The main compartment is designed specifically for your large ticket items, as well as any documents, books or small accessories. A secondary compartment offers added storage for tech accessories or other smaller items. The dedicated iPad or tablet pocket offers quick and easy side access without going into either of the bag’s two main compartments. A hip-side power pocket adds an integrated cable allowing access to any portable power unit or audio device. Beyond storage, the adjustable shoulder pads pair with a sternum strap for added security and comfort. An included combination lock adds an extra level of security. Beyond security, the nylon design includes a water-resistant exterior that protects against splashes and rain. Added to the exterior of the bag is a USB portable charging port that pairs with a separately purchased portable battery for quick charging on the go. There are two more main compartments that are designed for carrying clothes (including even one that can carry a pair of shoes), tablets, pens and pencils, chargers and other accessories. There’s also a stretchy side compartment that’s designed solely for carrying water or other liquids. The top handle for carrying in tight situations is paired with adjustable shoulder pads and compression straps with reflective tape to alert drivers or other commuters of your presence at night. It weighs 2.4 pounds. The water-resistant fabrics and zippers work together to form a protective seal against weather elements that seek to do your favorite tech harm. Add in two side mesh pockets for water bottles, grab-and-go handles alongside EVA shoulder straps for easy transportation and a “shove-it” pocket for quickly storing a light jacket and you’ve got a backpack that’s both laptop-ready and good for an overnight trip. It weights 2.2 pounds. The Pivoter backpack ensures spine support with specialized compression-molded shoulder straps for maintaining proper posture and has a padded haul handle at the top. For staying safe on the go, the reflective bike-light loop and shoulder-strap webbing create 360 degrees of reflectivity for staying safe at night. It weighs 2 pounds. With room for up to a 13-inch laptop in its padded main compartment, it has ample room for accessories, including chargers and mice. The magnetic strap closure and metal pin clips add to the mountaineering look, but provide extra security for keeping all your gear safe inside the main compartment. The front storage sleeve is fairly small and allows just enough space for quick access to a smartphone. The ECEEN is the perfect combination of energy-efficiency and durability. The solar charger is made with a hard-shell coating and is sewn into a water-resistant PVC fabric cover, guaranteeing its longevity and performance. Also, at only 3.2 pounds, and designed to distribute weight effectively, you’ll never strain yourself carrying this pack. There’s a secret side pocket for keeping your smartphone or passport while on the go, and the backpack has a luggage passthrough so you can slip it in with a rolling bag. A total of 12 internal pockets allows for easy organization, while a padded 15-inch main pocket can keep your laptop safe. Style - Backpacks aren’t always the most stylish of bags — but as they’ve become more and more popular, manufacturers are paying closer attention to design. If having a bag that matches your personal style is important to you, you’ll definitely be able to find one. However, you may have to compromise on size, weight, or other features, so it’s important to think about how important the bag’s looks are when weighed against other factors. Security - It’s incredibly nice to have your laptop (and all your other gadgets) in one place. However, this also makes it incredibly easy for an ill-meaning person to pick up your bag and walk off with all your expensive electronics. That’s why more and more laptop backpacks are coming with built-in security features. If the bag you want doesn’t have a security device, you can always add one on, but having an integrated anti-theft system would certainly provide peace of mind.
