Travel Laptop Backpack

I use a Swiss Gear and like it a lot.

Does it have to be a backpack or just a bag for laptop? My Tumi messenger bag works great for me in a number of different travel situations.

But for backpack, I go with Swiss gear.

Whatever one you get just be sure to put it under the seat in front of you and not the overhead bin.



Seriously though, I started just sliding my laptop into a sleeve in my carry-on bag and using a very small backpack that can easily fit under the seat in front of me for things like my passport, headphones, charger, etc.

Are you wanting a backpack to hold a laptop and few other items or are you wanting a backpack to hold a laptop and be your only bag for a week long trip or more?

If the latter, Google Digital Nomad backpack recommendations. Digital Nomads travel the world while working location independent (remote) jobs, sometimes for a year or more at a time and only pack one backpack. Their recommendations on that sort of backpack are legit.

I've researched it because I plan to become a digital nomad once my kids are self-sufficient. I bought the Tortuga 45L backpack because I liked the capacity, but I really like the style of some of the Osprey backpacks better.

ETA: just read the rest of the thread and it looks like you are looking for a laptop backpack that will hold extra stuff rather than what I discussed above. I'll still leave this here in case someone else is looking for a travel backpack.
