best 5 laptop backpacks to make commuting to the office a total breeze
If you have a long daily commute and/or have a bit of a walk to get to the office, you're better off with a backpack. They're much better for your spine and shoulders thanks to the double (and adjustable) straps, and spread the weight more evenly so you don't get an achy arm. Don't worry, though, you don't have to go full-on hiker style with one that features a sternum strap.
After you've found a design that will fit the dimensions of your device, the next thing to think about is fabric. Opting for waterproof or roll-top design is a good place to start - the last thing you want is soggy, malfunctioning tech - and don't forget about the overall style. You want this accessory to last, so go for something classic that'll complement your workwear and beyond.
