The 6 Best Laptop Backpacks For EDC
A true EDC-worthy laptop backpack needs to strike that perfect balance; smart internal organization, stylish design aesthetic, a well-padded laptop compartment (hopefully suspended with a false bottom), and a build that holds up to years of daily wear and tear. In this guide, we’re going to break down the best laptop backpacks that deliver on every front.

Fyi for belroy, their website qas called out recently for dynamic pricing like airlines. You can get cheaper prices by clearing cookies or using private browsing. Their stuff is generally cheaper not directly either way.
U guys miss Goruck bullet 18 double compartment
Timbuk2 Authority when will restock?
"Because a laptop backpack should be as durable as the gear inside it."
Vapid marketeering language.
"Because an X is only as good as the Y that’s Z", "When it comes to A, don’t settle for anything less than B" etc etc. Followed shortly after by the phrase, "These aren’t just buzzwords." lol
The point though is that a laptop backpack should vastly increase the protection of what’s inside (your laptop). It should dampen falls, hits, and bends because laptops themselves don’t have the space (or heat transferability) to afford a built in foam layer. No one is surprised if a laptop breaks after a 10ft fall, but if a backpack shatters then it’s a terrible backpack.
The kislux looks still good and 1/10 the price of real one. So many people will choose fake. Since during u walk in mall or on the street no1 will stop u and check ur bag from 5cm distance to see these differences. These differences are mostly impossible to see from more than 1-2m away. And be honest. 95% of these people buy these stuffs only to pretend fancy,rich during a walk
I find evergoods to be most comfortable EDC bags my only request is to make a top loading laptop compartment than side loaded. Also I prefer the CTB over the CPL line, fixes the external water bottle problem.
All these bags are winners. You can’t fix the Mission Workshops lack of false floor with 3rd parter foam inserts, or DIY it.
I just haven’t found another backpack like the Osprey Talon 22 ghost. I want a hiking backpack that has a laptop compartment and that has exactly that. There’s nothing else like it on the market.
Thx. Next vid: please Travel backpacks around 30 litres
No Nomatic?!?!?!
Perfect timing, Im in the market for a new work backpack. Great video!
Which edc Orlando or Vegas?
how is the LTT backpack not here?
I’ve been looking for a replacement for my Thule Subterra 23L that I’ve been using religiously since 2020. I’ve been scouring YouTube for reviews of all the packs in this category for weeks and this is the best/most useful I’ve found by far. The close-up shots on the details are great. Pacing is perfect also. When I buy, I’ll absolutely use your referral link.
As far as my bag hunt goes, I’m shocked at how many "EDC" bags lack either a basic water bottle sleeve or vertical-load luggage passthrough. 2 Non-negotiables for me.
Loved the video. Please please please also make one for 18 inch laptops
Nice comparison video. But please consider some changes in videography. Dark bags on a gray background in low key light is not a great combo. Big fan of your channel.
brother, you need more lights in your studio.
Look.. I get it, but…. They’re all the same backpack except the last one haha
Add prices!
Is it just me or this videos are really dark, brightness to max level and yet I have to squint my eyes to differenciate darker tones
Any options for middle class?
Another great delivery.. vocals more than visual though. 😊
Please, kindly consider an indept expose on the Boundary Supply 15L Errant Sling and Modular Attachments.. it presently seems so badass!
All the bags with the exception of the "Black" Amber offer colors other than black…nice.
I have an original Camelbak Urban Assault I bought in 2013. It has a laptop pocket with a raised bottom, but I usually put a PS3/PS4 or a portable monitor in that pocket.
I just ordered the Aer Tech Pack 3
I think for everyday carry especially for work commuting the Mark Ryden Compacto Pro Upgraded version is allot nicer than all of these bags and is only $90
A few of the best design backpacks are Filip Robach & Packolab
Thule is a great option and no one seems to check them out
Good lord! The Rhake is $545! I’ll stick with my low tech but way more durable real leather Mahi backpack for around $150.
Save your time and money and get a Case Logic. Trust me had one for 20 years now
Quel est la marque et le modèle du portefeuille vu dans le premier sac svp ? Merci
Surprised there was no mention of larger/smaller versions of these bags for consideration. While the in depth review of each item was great there are similar variants that would be helpful to mention if people wanted more/less. Evergoods CTB line is a nice option with bottle pockets in various liter capacities like the CPL. Aer and Black Ember also have variations.
Does anyone even use this emoji🪬
Can’t see sh!t
Stubble & Co Everyday Backpack is missing from this comparison. I believe that it’s an excellent backpack for everyone.
No Able Carry Max EDC?
Us men go crazy needing sail cloth military grade bags just to take a bus lol. But the prices freak me out to be honest. That said – it’s nothing compared to a woman’s handbag for price
First!
These are ridiculously expensive. If you dont want to spend 1/4 to 1/2 a grand on a freakin backpack then I recommend a Targus Drifter. I got one for like 65 bucks 4 years ago and It holds all my IT tools, 2 laptops, and my water bottle. Plus its a tank.
As always awesome video. Love the articles too.
Way too expensive!!!
Yes, yes, yessss fantastic author, American Cosmic is a must read.
No Goruck GR1 21L?
Great video. Not sure why people are crying about your lighting. Looked great and consistent throughout. Solid contrasts. Maybe they need better screens or turning their brightness up 😂
Able Carry Daily Plus needs to be on this list.
I have the Nomatic and Troubadour Apex Backpack 3.0 and frankly don’t love either as they both have strange qwerks and collapsing sections especially when trying to get at quick access pockets on the back. The AER looks interesting albeit costly.
