CLICK BELOW TO BUY TARGUS OR WENGER SWISSGEAR LAPTOP BACKPACKS!!!
As laptops have become an integral part of many people’s everyday work, study and existence, accompanying laptop backpacks and rucksacks have become equally popular and essential. The good thing about them, apart from being relatively stylish and functional, is their versatility. As well as the laptop, they can carry other things like books and papers. In fact, you don’t have to carry the laptop at all if desired.
Targus Laptop Backpacks
This practicality means that they are particularly popular with college and university students. A model like the Targus laptop backpack includes space for netbooks of up to 17 inches with an additional main compartment for files. There is even a mesh water bottle pouch as well as a soft pouch for sunglasses. Some have been made with durable water resistant material that has been abrasion tested as well as having a stain-guard coating. An extra layer of cushioning for shock absorbency is provided by double foam padding lines inside the laptop compartment.
Wenger Swiss Gear Laptop Backpacks
This is another popular model. Again, they come in different sizes to fit the dimensions of your netbook. Other features usually include side mesh water bottle pockets, a padded computer pocket, a stretch mesh mobile device pocket on the shoulder strap and an essentials organizer with interior zippered pocket. The IBEX 17 inch model also incorporates three main compartments, an Airflow back padding to keep your back cool, shock absorb shoulder straps, an iPod/MP3 player pocket and a stabilizing platform.
Other Considerations
Other brands that you might choose to consider include Case Logic, Everki, North Face, Eastpak, Jansport and Samsonite laptop backpacks. The majority of all of these styles (including Targus and SwissGear) come in black; often with little flecks of other colours, so it would be fair to say that they are not made to stand out. This can be seen as a positive thing when you are carrying potentially valuable electronic equipment and data. The last thing you want is for somebody to steal your backpack because of the bright colours without even knowing what is inside!
It is obviously very important to be aware of the measurements needed before purchase. There is no point in buying a model smaller than the 17 inch laptop backpack if your netbook is of that size!
Whilst there is no reason why you can’t carry your laptop in a normal backpack or bag, bear in mind that these specialist models do have specific attributes that provide extra protection. Also, although popular with younger people, they are just as appropriate for mature adults, especially considering their neutral colour schemes.
