Which laptop backpack shouldn’t you buy?

If you are reading this, it means that you are looking forward at buying a backpack in order to protect your laptop. So, do you know what are looking for? Or you will take the first one that will come in your hands? Of course, most of the laptop backpacks available in the market will be good, but you should know, though, which backpack you shouldn’t buy.

The first rule that comes in my mind is this : check for yourself how strong are the zippers and the material. If it doesn’t seems strong enough, you shouldn’t buy this, because you might have negative surprises with it and I presume you wouldn’t like this to happen. Usually, these backpacks don’t come with a guarantee certificate so it’s better to assure for yourself which one will better.

Second, look at the sewing. There, see if they are sewn correctly, if there are any wires left, and if there are sewing in all the places where tension might appear. If any of these conditions isn’t carried, you shouldn’t buy the backpack because you might have big problems and I think you wouldn’t want to stay with some wires and the needle in your hands to sew every day at the backpack.

Third, remember: if it doesn’t fit exactly your laptop, or you have to push hard your laptop on order to enter, don’t buy it. Why? It won’t resist long if you force it every day, and you will look silly fighting every time with your backpack. Choose only the correct sized ones!

Fourth, if it is the cheapest backpack on the market, don’t buy it! For sure, it isn’t produced legally, or if it is, you won’t have the same protection a middle class backpack would offer. And after all, you want to protect your laptop, not to help at it’s ruining.

Fifth, try to buy only from the popular producers. For this, search on the internet which are the most popular backpacks and who are their producers and after that, look in the shop for the products. This way, you will be sure that you will receive high quality products. It is preferable that if you see an unknown producer not to buy his item. Let the others to risk their money. After all, you don’t have anything to loose.

Sixth and last, remember : don’t buy a laptop backpack unless you check it first. Have in mind to check the zipper and the material, how good and resistant is the sewing, and if it fits your laptop. If you don’t do this, then you will spend your money in vanish and after a while, you will feel bad about the money spent.

So, first rule, always keep in mind how much money do you have available for this item. If you have only 50 euros, you can’t buy a 70 euros backpack unless you go back home and bring more money. Though, you can find perfect item at reasonable prices like 30-35 euros.

Second, have in mind how big it is your laptop and what other items are you going to carry with it.

Every single laptop backpack needs strong safety measures in order to have success on the market, so you should buy a strong universal one if you know what is best for your laptop.

So, now that you have been learned what to have in mind when you will buy a laptop backpack, it will be a lot easier to choose the proper one for you.
