Several criteria should be kept in mind when selecting your laptop bag:
1. Light weight construction: The standard laptop bag that comes with your laptop purchase weighs six to seven pounds empty. A laptop bag’s weight should be a key factor in the purchase decision, particularly for those who travel frequently with their laptop bag, since once loaded up with a laptop and other materials, the laptop bag can quickly exceed 15 lbs. Look for a laptop bag that is about 4 lbs or less.
2. Functionality: The perfect laptop bag should have plentiful, easy-access pockets for your everyday essentials, as well as a sufficient number of compartments for stowing the other items you like to bring to and from work or on errands each day. There should be a variety of pockets incorporated into a laptop bag’s design. Not everything in your laptop bag needs to be under the “lock and key” of a zipper. We recommend that you take all of the items out of your current laptop bag, identify the “everyday essentials,” and let the type of pockets/compartments needed to accommodate them drive your purchase decision. For example, many women also use their laptop bag as a briefcase and need space for legal files/papers, magazines, cosmetics, etc. You may want business cards easily accessible in your laptop bag but the $50 you have hidden for emergencies not so accessible, because not everything is an emergency.
3. Feminine: Times have changed in corporate America and women are no longer afraid to dress like women at the office any more. Designers like us have finally caught on and fashionable, feminine laptop bag options are available, so you can ditch the unisex, unwieldy, black nylon/pleather/vinyl laptop bag designed by and for men that arrived in the box with your laptop. If you read fashion magazines, you’ll notice that they now have specific departments dedicated to “What to wear to work” and rarely do you see the navy blue double-breasted Brooks Brothers blazer of the 1980’s and 1990’s paired with the black nulon laptop bag. The looks are much more feminine and versatile. The outfit you now wear to work could be worn to dinner with only a minor update like a change of shoes. You should be able to carry laptop bag you carried to work to dinner as well.
4. Handle length and construction: Laptop bag handles should lay flat and comfortably on the shoulder and slide easily over a winter coat but not long enough to flap around at your hip. There is nothing quite like running through an airport at full speed with your laptop bag banging on you hip with each step you take. Moreover, the materials used to construct the laptop bag should be sturdy enough to withstand the weight of your computer, soft and smooth enough to avoid snagging a beautiful jacket or top, and durable enough to look “worn in” and not “old” after years of use.
