A laptop bag is like insurance for your expensive laptop, it will protect it and help extend its life while adding a lot of conveniences. Making it easier to carry your laptop and the other items that go along with it. Laptop bags come in various sizes and pocket configurations, with some that have an extra 'sleeve' like covering for the laptop before it is inserted into the dedicated padded slot. The laptop bag sizes vary according to possible sizes of laptops, so keep in mind how many inches your laptop is and if it will fit into the padded slot or not.

On average a laptop weighs from 2 to 4Kgs, with other items like an external mouse, papers and more the weight can be up to about 6Kgs. Some health experts claim one should not carry that much weight more than 90 meters, whether it is a single cross strap or double straps as it puts weight on the spine. Side straps do put weight on the body in a non-symmetrical manner which can be damaging in the long run.

The design is a consideration if you want something formal or more casual.
