Laptop Bags vs Laptop Backpacks

What’s better, a laptop bag or a laptop backpack? It’s mostly a matter of style, but there are some good functional reasons to prefer one over the other.

Laptop backpacks are:

• • Easy to carry: These easy to use bags strap to the back and can be carried with ease, leaving hands free.
• • Spacious: The right laptop backpack will have room not only for the laptop, charger, and other computer accessories, but books and other equipment too.
• • Perfect for school: Laptop backpacks fit in really well with the school vibe, and Officeworks has a wide range of styles suitable for everyone’s style.
• • Great for travel: Backpacks are great for anyone on-the-go.
• • Designed for versatility: These backpacks have dedicated laptop space and space for your hard drives or other accessories, too.

Laptop bags are:

• • Stylish and professional: These bags can fit into any workplace, whether creative or professional.
• • Designed to hold laptops: A laptop bag will have its own space for your laptop, protecting it from scratches or bumps with other things in your bag.
• • Designed for professionals: Laptop bags often have dedicated space for documents and folders in a professional style.

Your style matters, so whatever you choose, we’ve got something that can keep you doing what you do - and looking good while doing it.

Choosing the Right Laptop Bag or Laptop Backpack

Once you’ve found things that fit your vibe, there’s a few things to consider before choosing the one:

• • Size: Does your new bag or backpack fit your laptop and everything else you need? Or is it too big?
• • Protection: Does the laptop compartment feel secure?
• • Weight: Does the bag feel too heavy for daily use, or just right?

Laptop Sleeves

Laptop sleeves are a great choice for someone who already has a great bag, but still wants something a little more protective for their treasured laptop than just letting it sit with everything else.

These slim, lightweight options are perfect for adding an existing setup and come in a great range of styles and sizes

When choosing a laptop sleeve, it’s best to think about a few things:

• • Interior size: A good laptop sleeve is snug, but not so tight that it’s hard to slip a laptop in or out.
• • Protection: Laptop sleeves should help protect your laptop, so the material shouldn’t be too soft or lacking padding or structure.
• • Style: Just because it’s going in a bag doesn’t mean it can’t look good, too.
