Best laptop bag in India — size, padding and office comfort

Protect your laptop on daily commutes with the right bag, then compare prices across stores.

1. Get the size right

Check your laptop's screen size: 14-inch or 15.6-inch. A sleeve slightly bigger than the laptop lets it slide; too big and it moves around.

2. Padded and raised sleeve

A sleeve that doesn't touch the bottom of the bag protects the laptop when you put the bag down hard.

3. Backpack, sling or briefcase

Backpacks are best for bike and metro commutes; briefcases look formal for meetings; messenger bags suit short trips.

4. Monsoon protection

Water-resistant polyester or a rain cover saves the laptop in rain. Check zips are covered.

5. Pockets and weight

A charger pocket, bottle pocket and light empty weight matter more than lots of tiny pockets.

6. Compare before buying

American Tourister, Wildcraft, Skybags, Dell and HP bags vary across stores — compare the exact model.
