Let's find you a great backpack for your laptop - Laptop backpack review 2012

In laptop backpack review 2012 I will take a look at what makes a good laptop backpack, after which I will shortly review some of the best new laptop backpacks of 2012.

Desirable laptop backpack features:

  • Style: Even though a new laptop bag needs to be practical, that doesn't mean you should not get one that makes you look good. If you look around you will be able to pick one that appeals to your fashion sense.

  • Thieves love to take laptops so if your backpack appears more like a standard backpack, it is not as likely to get stolen.

  • Extra pockets: You should be able to take your cables, mouse and a few other laptop accessories around, with your notebook. A good laptop case will have pouches which will keep things tidy and neat. If the pockets are well positioned you will be able to get to the contents faster.

  • Safety: Laptops are pricey, a good quality laptop backpack needs sufficient padding to shield your laptop from bumps.

Targus Zip-Thru Air Traveler Backpack

The Targus Zip-Through Backpack for 15.8 inch backpack for notebook computers does 2 things well: It protects your laptop and it allows you to pass through airport security quickly.

It does so by opening down the center. This separates the laptop from the accessories, which allows for X-ray or manual security screening. For your X-ray screening: put just the laptop in it's inner compartment; unzip it to "split" the backpack; lay it flat, lengthways, on the conveyor belt; retrieve and re-zip following screening.

For convenience, there are multiple pouches and pockets to keep computer - and other - accessories organized. One inner pocket that is missing is one for holding pens, you will find in most of the other backpacks.

There are more long lasting backpacks, but not very many match the adaptability of the Zip-Through by Targus.

Belkin Laptop Sling Bag

The most comfortable way to carry your laptop around

The Belkin notebook Sling Bag is a side-sling bag that will carry a 15.4 inch laptop, its charger in a single pouch, as well as the other equipment in other pockets.

You can fit a folder and some other items in the backpack, but nothing bulky.

The main idea with the belkin is comfort and ease. The bag hugs the body and it possesses a well-padded strap. The back panel is made from a material that breathes.

I love the Belkin's sleek look.

Laurex Laptop/Notebook Backpack

Ideal for larger notebooks, Laurex's decorated backpack can carry a seventeen inch laptop.

You will find enough pouches, compartments, and pockets to store all the laptop accessories, personal electronics, pens, and binders that one could want (or lift) - you can also fit a water bottle into this backpack.

The straps on the Laurex are well-padded and comfortable. The backpack also has a handle, so you can use it like a briefcase.

Flaps, zippers, as well as other aspects are tough and well-constructed.

Case Logic 15.4 Backpack

As the name implies, this backpack from Case Logic can carry up to a 15.4 inch laptop computer. Besides the obvious equipment, it can also carry personal electronics (cell phone) in two interior pouches.

There's a basic easy-access zippered pocket on the flap.

The shoulder straps are padded and contoured for comfort and ease.

The felt-lined inner surface deserves to be acknowledged, for protecting items that might well be scraped by harsher backpack interiors.

Lowepro Backpack Factor Laptop bag

This Lowepro backpack can hold most 15.4 inch laptops, easily and in an "urban messenger" style.

There are adequate compartments, pockets and slots for accessories, personal electronics, books, and a water bottle.

The external material is water-resistant, and the laptop compartment is reinforced for extra security.

The shoulder harness is a breathable mesh fabric, and gets high marks for being wide and thick enough to prevent sore shoulders - even with a full load.

    Some of them seem ok, but the best backpack I ever had is my current backpack, STM Medium backpack. Practical, great spaces and pockets, very light and slim design. Can not find a flaw .
