If you are an up-and-coming blogger, I would like to welcome you to our ever-increasing community! Becoming a great blogger demands a lot of hard work and dedication, but learning some simple tips and tricks can help you expand your skill-level fast! However, I am here to tell you that the most important tools of our craft are our laptops. By now, you became aware that it can cost a pretty penny to get a hold of a decent machine (more than $1000). Therefore, keeping them safe and sound at all times is of utmost importance!
There are many types of laptop bags out there all of which are great in their own right. From messenger bags, briefcases, backpacks, all the way to daypacks. Nevertheless, backpacks provide a level of comfort and practicality which other types of bags have a hard time matching. That is why I have decided to present you with top three best laptop backpacks for bloggers!
Osprey Men’s Flap Jack Backpack
A lot of bloggers are constantly on the move. Writing from different locations most of the time can be a true blessing, but it does involve a decent amount of commuting. In such scenarios, it is so important to have a backpack which provides the right amount of comfort and spaciousness. The Osprey Flap Jack’s specially designed mesh-ventilated back panel and padded harness provide an unparalleled level of comfort as well as prevent you from developing an annoyingly sweaty back. Plus, it weighs only 2.01 pounds.
Oftentimes, commuting can be a dangerous activity. That is why Osprey equipped the Flap Jack with some useful safety features. It comes with reflective graphics triangles on the front which light up when headlights hit them up, as well as an LED bike light attachment.
Compartment-wise, the Flap Jack provides more space than you could ask for. The main compartment is big enough to hold a 15-inch laptop, and it has a foam padded shell which takes care of your laptop’s safety. Additionally, you get a few internal pouches which are perfect for storing smaller pieces of equipment like a mouse or a laptop charger. Furthermore, the front of the backpack includes a tablet sleeve and a few zippered compartments. You also get a water bottle pocket on the side.
eBags Professional Slim Laptop Backpack
eBag’s Professional Slim Laptop Backpack is often regarded as being the best laptop backpack on the market and we can easily understand why. Apart from being beautifully and elegantly designed, it comes with so many useful features that will make you want to have it.
In order to secure an adequate level of protection, the exterior of the backpack is made from twisted filament polyester with DuPont Teflon fabric protection. If I was to translate this, it is as durable as they come! The main compartment is large enough to hold a 15-inch laptop, but if you took away that extra padding, you would even be able to fit a 17-inch one as well. Of course, it also comes with a tablet pocket (11.5 inches x 8.1 inches) which has fleece lining (cleans the screen for you).
Other features include a crush-proof AC adaptor garage, zippered water bottle pocket, Airmesh back panel, adjustable shock-load sternum strap, contoured straps, top handle (allows you to wear it as a briefcase), horizontal luggage pass-thru panel (very handy when flying).
Herschel Supply Co. Retreat Backpack
I just had to include this backpack. Even though the previous two models are good looking, you have to agree that the Herschel Retreat Backpack looks special. However, apart from the looks, this particular backpack is 50% cheaper than the Osprey and the eBag.
The exterior of the backpack is dressed in coated polyester and the bottom is additionally reinforced. These features will ease up your mind when you have to react fast and potentially drop the backpack on the ground. The main compartment is extra padded, has a fleece lining, and is capable of holding a 15-inch laptop.
Additional features include an external storage sleeve, adjustable drawstring closure, internal media pocket, contoured shoulder straps, inside pull cord, any many other. If you like experimenting with colors, the Herschel Retreat comes in so many different color combinations that you will surely be able to find the perfect one for you.
All in all, fellow bloggers, if you are questioning your calling, maybe you should consider buying yourself a fancy new laptop backpack and set off to a distant location to find inspiration and motivation for your blogging endeavors! Making a change is not something you should be afraid of, it is something you should strive for! Good luck!
