The "post-covid" era has certainly brought dramatic changes. Most notably is an increase in flexibility and mobility in life. This means that the education and business sectors are re-examining the pros and cons of online teaching, “Working from Home” and how to take advantage of the internet to further improve effectiveness and efficiency, free up staff time and break geographical constraints.

To keep up with this new trend, you need to be more mobile and flexible. So why not start by choosing a nice computer bag to hold your laptop so you can work from anywhere?

Computer Bag Shopping Tips

1. Compartment size

It has to fit your laptop. Almost all backpacks, briefcases and tote bags clearly state the size of the computer compartment. Check it’s the right size for your computer before you buy. As for the rest of the bag choose according to what you need. For books and documents, consider getting a computer bag with more than one compartment or divider. If you need to carry lots of small items, one with an extra small accessory pocket makes it handier and more practical.

2. Protection

A fleece or 360-degree protective compartment provides good protection for your laptop even if you need to commute by MTR during peak hours or accidentally drop your bag. It’s even better if the outside of the bag is made of hard-wearing, waterproof, anti-bacterial and anti-mould materials. Concealed zips and RFID anti-theft compartments are also worth considering as these can protect both your physical and virtual properties.

3. Comfort

The bigger the computer bag the better, is not necessarily true. Lightweight and portability are the main factors. If you are going to use your laptop for long durations or need to carry a lot of stuff around, choose a comfortable, breathable and ergonomic model to protect your spine, shoulders and even skin.

4. Design

Computer bags come in a wide range of styles, from trendy minimalist, sporty, cute to literary. Match your outfit and the computer bag becomes an eye-catching accessory!

5. Other features

External USB charging or headphone ports, quick access pockets and other thoughtful features make a computer bag even more special.
