Whether you’re a data scientist, software engineer, web developer, graphics designer or an engineer for a specific field of science. There is one thing you will have in common, and that is a bag for your laptop. While it might also be possible to use a desktop computer in your office or at home, one cannot deny that a laptop is now a very common piece of equipment. Here we have picked what we considered to be versatile laptop bags from JanSport.
JanSport Right Pack
This backpack has 3 main pockets for storage. A front stash compartment, a utility pocket with an organizer and a large compartment comes with a laptop sleeve. A Mac Book Pro 13 inch will fit the largest section (but might be hard to fit in the laptop sleeve). With 30+ choices of colours and styles to choose from, there will always be a bag for you.
JanSport Big Student Backpack
Who doesn’t want more pockets and zippers. From the name “Big Student Backpack” it doesn’t have “Big” in its name for nothing. Boasting a 15 inch compartment for the laptop, this beast of a bag can hold a bit more than our previous entry. With a side compartment for a water bottle or even use it as a storage for a compact umbrella, this is worth it for its price. The material used might be different from the “JanSport Right Pack” but that doesn’t mean it’s not of quality.
JanSport Hatchet Backpack
The hatchet backpack is “The” bag for outdoors. But don’t let that stop you from using it for other situations like school and work. With an adjustable sternum strap you can be sure that it is fastened to you during outdoor activities. It is also designed to support a 15-inch laptop, which is quite convenient if you need to work on something when on the go.
JanSport Driver 8 Backpack
The “Driver 8 Backpack” is a backpack on wheels! If you are constantly on the move and you need to carry a lot of things, this is the bag for you. Boasting a 36 L (or 2175 cubic inches) of capacity (4L more than the “Big Student Backpack”), with skate wheels, you can grab the handle and just roll away like a boss. As with all the bags listed here, it also has a 15-inch laptop sleeve.
JanSport Half Pint Mini Backpack
The smallest bag in the list. This is meant for “pint-sized” objects as the name suggests. Small and light is perfect for the “throw-on-and-go” occasions. With one main compartment, you can put your phone and other essentials in it and go about your day.
This bag might not have a laptop compartment. But it can be used as storage for your laptop accessories.
