Laptop bags

Laptop bags and backpacks for everyday use 

At Biltema, you’ll find a selection of laptop bags and accessories made for daily life. Our laptop bags can hold most standard laptops safely and easily. If you prefer a backpack, we also have these, which offer extra room for your gear and a more compact version when you just need the essentials. 

For working comfortably at a desk, our laptop support provides a stable surface and better airflow. All bags and backpacks are designed to protect your laptop and simplify travel, whether you’re walking, cycling, or taking the train. 

Benefits of a good laptop bag 

A solid laptop bag makes it easier to carry your computer safely and keep everything organised. Whether you use your laptop for work, studying, or day-to-day tasks, having a bag that protects your gear and is easy to take on the go makes a big difference. 

Key benefits include: 

Protection against knocks and scratches 

A laptop bag is designed with built-in protection to handle everyday bumps and knocks. The padded walls and dedicated laptop compartment keep your computer in place and reduce the risk of scratches or damage during transport. Unlike a normal bag, a laptop bag is structured to hold your device securely, even when the bag is full or placed on the floor. 

Space for more than just your laptop 

Extra pockets and separate sections in your laptop bag make it easy to bring along your charger, mouse, and important documents without everything getting tangled or crushed. This organisation saves time and helps you keep your gear in order throughout the day. 

Comfortable to carry 

Carrying comfort is another big advantage. With adjustable straps, soft handles, and lightweight materials, a laptop bag is built to be worn or carried for longer periods without digging into your shoulder or feeling awkwardly heavy. 

Practical details 

Many laptop bags also come with practical touches that make travelling simpler. Water-resistant fabrics protect your computer in wet weather, hidden zips add a layer of security, and some models have straps that let you attach the bag to your suitcase when you’re on the move. These small details make a laptop bag a reliable choice for everyday commuting and longer trips. 

What makes a laptop bag different from a regular bag? 

A normal bag and a laptop bag may look alike, but they’re made for different needs. A regular bag is designed to carry general items like books, clothes, or lunch boxes and often lacks padding or structure. That makes it less ideal for transporting delicate electronics. A laptop bag, on the other hand, is built specifically to protect and carry a computer. It has a padded compartment to shield the laptop from bumps and knocks, along with extra space for chargers, cables, and documents. 

The materials are often more robust, and the layout is more organised to keep everything in place. If you regularly carry your laptop, a proper laptop bag is a safer and more practical choice than a standard backpack or tote. 

Practical solution for everyday use and business travel 

A laptop bag makes it easy to bring your computer along for business trips, meetings, or when you’re working on the go. The bag protects your laptop from bumps and scratches while also giving you space for essentials like your charger, mouse, and documents. 

If you want to keep your laptop safe, a dedicated laptop bag is a good choice. By choosing a bag or sleeve that matches your screen size, you get proper protection and can carry your device without worry. 

For most of us, a computer has become an essential tool at school, university, and in the workplace. A laptop is especially popular because it’s lightweight and easy to take anywhere. At Biltema, you’ll find laptop bags in different sizes and styles, so you can choose one that suits your daily routine and how you work. 

How to choose the right bag for your laptop 

When choosing a laptop bag, the most important thing is that it fits both your device and your daily needs. Start by checking the size of your laptop – most bags are designed for common screen sizes like 13”, 15” or 16”, so make sure the bag has a padded compartment that matches. A bag that’s too small won’t close properly, while one that’s too big won’t hold the laptop securely. 

Next, think about how and where you’ll use it. If you’re walking or cycling a lot, a backpack with padded straps is often the most comfortable option. If you mostly travel by car or public transport, a classic laptop bag with a handle might be enough. 

Also, consider how much extra space you need in your laptop bag. If you only carry the laptop and charger, a slim bag or sleeve is fine. But if you bring notebooks, cables, or lunch, look for something with multiple compartments. Some bags even have space for water bottles or a change of clothes. 

How to find the size of your laptop 

To find the size of your laptop and better choose your laptop bag, measure the screen diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner – only the screen itself, not the frame. The result is given in inches and is usually something like 13", 15.6", or 16". 

You can also check the product label, the original box, or your laptop's system information, where screen size is often listed. Most laptop bags are labelled by screen size, so once you know your measurement, it’s easier to find a bag that fits properly. 

More than just laptop bags 

At Biltema, you’ll find more than laptop bags to carry your computer. We also stock a variety of laptop accessories to keep your setup running smoothly.

If you need to connect or extend devices, we offer a selection of computer cables for different purposes – whether it’s for charging, internet, or connecting to external displays. To complete your setup, consider looking into our collection of computer mice to make working on your laptop easier and more comfortable.

FAQ

How big should a laptop bag be?

A laptop bag should match the size of your device. Most laptops are 13", 15" or 16", so choose a bag with a padded compartment designed for that size. A well-fitting bag offers better protection and keeps your laptop secure when you're on the move. 

Are laptop bags waterproof?

Not all laptop bags are fully waterproof, but many are made from water-resistant materials that protect against light rain and splashes. If you travel frequently or frequently carry your laptop outdoors, consider getting a rain cover for your laptop bag.

Can a laptop bag hold other items?

Yes, most laptop bags include extra compartments for chargers, cables, documents, and smaller accessories. Backpacks usually offer more storage space than slim bags or sleeves, making them a better choice if you regularly carry notebooks, lunch, or other personal belongings along with your computer.
