What should you pay attention to when choosing a bag with a laptop compartment?

A good bag with a laptop compartment is essential these days. Whether you're working in the office, commuting to a flexi-space, or combining your day with a workout – your laptop goes with you. But not every bag protects your laptop properly.

In this blog post, you can read what to look for when choosing a bag with a laptop compartment, and how to ensure your laptop is stored safely and practically.

Why a good laptop compartment is essential

A laptop is fragile. That's why it's important that the compartment you carry it in is specially designed for protection. A good laptop compartment isn't loose inside the bag, but is padded and securely fastened. This prevents damage from bumps or shifting while walking or cycling.

Especially if you use your bag daily, you need to be able to rely on the compartment that holds your laptop. It should protect your device while also ensuring easy access.

What size and protection do you need?

Not every laptop fits in every compartment. So always check the size: 13 inches, 15 inches, or 17 inches. The fit should be snug enough to restrict movement, but roomy enough to easily insert and remove your laptop.

Also look out for additional protection, such as:

• Padded sides and bottoms
• Reinforced edges against impact
• A soft lining on the inside
• Separate compartment to keep moisture or dirt out

Additional features that make the difference

A good laptop compartment is important, but the rest of the bag should also fit your lifestyle. Consider:

• Extra compartments for charger, mouse or notebook
• Water-resistant material for protection against rain
• Separate compartments for clothes or sports equipment
• Sturdy zipper and comfortable carrying straps

For those who combine work with exercise, these are not extras – they are a requirement.

One bag for laptop and sportswear?

Many people now carry one bag for everything. This requires smart organization. You don't want to leave your laptop next to a wet towel or workout clothes. That's why more and more people are choosing a multifunctional bag with a separate laptop compartment and separate space for sports or personal items.

The Bagga Daily Duffel is a prime example. It features a padded laptop compartment that protects your device from bumps and moisture, while still offering ample space for workout clothes, shoes, and other essentials.

This means you don't have to compromise on organisation, protection or style.
