Top 5 Laptop Bags

Updated on May 22, 2023

Protecting your investment

Some people have a desktop computer and some people have a laptop, even luckier people have both but either way, a laptop is essential in today's modern lifestyle, be it taking the laptop to your families and friends' houses and showing photos, videos etc or taking it on public transport such as the train on the way to work and finishing some last-minute reports so as you can hit your deadline.

Laptops cost money, some from as little as a few hundred dollars and the better ones several thousand dollars, No matter what you personally spent on them they are worth protecting.

I recently brought a Sony Vaio and am very pleased with it. I also purchased a 5-year warranty and accidental damage cover but still, I wanted to have a decent laptop bag to protect my investment, so I did some research into the best 5 laptop bags on the market and I am going to share my results with you

Crumpler Messenger Bag

The one thing this range of laptop bags do is not to look like laptop bags, They just look like lots of other messenger bags carrying lots of paperwork and such, so in that way, they are ideal when travelling in busy areas such as airports where the likelihood of having your laptop stolen increases.

As for its potential as a good protective bag it does tick the boxes, It provides good padding to protect your laptop.

This bag also has one of the biggest Velcro straps I have ever seen in a laptop bag, therefore, giving me a piece of mind about my laptop not flying out when I'm running for the train.

The bag is made from a weatherproof material to protect from the rain and is available in a whole range of attractive colours.

The one thing I will say is that if you are the type of person who likes to carry not only your laptop but perhaps the power pack and a spare hard drive and some paperwork I'm not sure you would manage to get it all in there, having said that it is one of the most attractive bags I have seen.

Targus Notebook BackPack

The Targus Notebook Backpack comes in a wide variety of styles and colours

This is a serious bag for those that need to travel a lot and need something comfy to keep their laptop in.

It looks just like a normal rucksack, therefore, making it quite inconspicuous to thieves and has not only room for laptops with screens sizes up to 15.4 inches but also has plenty of other compartments for everything you may wish to take with you such as power packs, hard drives, mouse, mp3 players etc, it is fully cushioned and has a security fastener to keep your laptop in place and secure.

Pacsafe

A wide range of secure safety conscious laptop bags made by Pacsafe have hit the market and have safety features such as slash-proof material and stainless steel incorporated into the shoulder strap to prevent it from being cut by a knife as well as anchor clips and tamper-proof zips.

All these features and more would have you believe that these bags would have a significant price tag but strangely enough they don't.

If you are looking for security which most of us are when protecting our laptops then this bag has it all.

Samsonite

Samsonite has long been the standard for cases that protect be they suitcases or briefcases so if you want ultimate protection then look no further, Samsonite has a wide range so you will find something you like that serves your needs.

The case also boasts lots of space for extra accessories and extra pockets for the storage of items.
