From bags and backpacks to briefcases and laptop-sized wallets, there is always a laptop bag that suits you.

As a freelance writer, I carry my laptop with me. What if I have a brilliant idea while queuing in the DMV? What if I have to dig through attachments to respond to urgent emails while waiting at my child's school bus stop? What if I find that I have an hour to kill and have a sense of despair that I am wasting time rather than using it effectively? (I really hate this feeling!) And that was before I even mentioned the need to use all my work and leisure technical tools to travel regularly. Yes, I always carry my laptop with me — so over the years, I have tested every imaginable type of laptop bag on the market.

I personally chose the best laptop bag to meet my own unique needs-as a writer, as a mom, as a frequent traveler. However, everyone on the journey will have different details to adjust the priority.

We have backpacks, shoulder straps and messenger bag styles, as well as a large number of organization configurations in various colors and styles.

I will never forget the lesson my first boss taught me: ABC. (That's "always charging".) This bag can help you do that. Use the built-in USB male port to connect your power bank.
