1. Before buying a laptop computer bag, first check your laptop's dimensions so you'll know what size laptop bag to purchase. Even if you know your laptop's screen size you might be able to estimate a properly sized computer carrying case (screen size is measured diagonally).
2. To avoid long airport hauls, rolling computer laptop bags are best. The most ergonomic designs feature telescoping handles that can be pulled up for rolling and tucked away when your computer bag needs to be stored in a tight spot.
3. Multiple computer bag carrying options are essential for today's traveler. That's why experienced laptop bag owners are shoulder strap connoisseurs. Look for shoulder straps that are thick, durable, and gel-padded. Some computer bag shoulder straps are designed to double as backpack-style carrying straps.
4. The pockets in computer laptop bags are often filled to the brim, so zippers that won't fray or rip are critical. Double-stitched zippers will hold up well under stress. You'll also have an easier time opening and shutting your computer laptop bags' pockets if its zipper pulls are large.
5. Today's airport security restrictions require more bags to be checked in than in the past, which is one reason locks are important for your laptop computer bag. Combination locks and key locks are essential features of the contemporary laptop bag.
6. Size and padding are two of the most important aspects of laptop computer bags. A well padded and secured interior for your laptop should be your first priority. If the computer bag also has ample room and well designed pockets for files and accessories, you've found the perfect laptop carrying case.
