We love the mini bag trend as much as the next person, but some days call for a bag that’s big enough to carry allll your essentials, not just a single lip gloss. The most important (yet also most inconvenient) thing to carry when you're on the go? Your trusty laptop. Whether you're commuting to the office, traveling, or just running errands, having a secure bag that's big enough to hold your laptop is key—how else are you gonna pretend to work from cute coffee shops along your way?
But your laptop is precious cargo, people! And as such, it deserves a quality bag where it can stay nice and secure while still earning you style points. A regular ol’ canvas tote bag or a pocket-less handbag probably won’t offer your laptop much protection. The right laptop backpack or bag, however, will not only keep it safe, but it’ll also be designed for peak ~optimization~. From compartments galore to built-in USB chargers, a laptop bag will forever change how you get work done on the go. And to make your life easier, we've found the best of the best.
Our top picks for the best laptop bags in 2023:
Whether you’re searching for a backpack with lots of pockets to keep you organized or a fashion-forward work bag that won’t clash with your #OOTD, there’s an option perfect for you and your laptop. Keep scrolling to shop all our favorite laptop-friendly bags below.
