Ultimate Tech Backpack Recommendations

millwalll

Hi All,

My last laptop bag a (Swordfish) has now gone to backpack heaven. This backpack was around £30 and lasted a number of years but was not ideal for my requirements. As such I am now in the hunt for a new backpack.


Essentially I need a strong backpack that can be used daily but can also carry more tech when traveling.

Daily Requirements:

Padded 15" Laptop.
Storage (For cables and power bank)
Keyboard & Mouse Storage (Small Keyboard approx 30 CM)
Sunglasses Storage
Notebook and pen Storage
Water Bootle Storage
Ability to store Jumper/Jacket.
Easy Access RFID Pocket

Nice to have
TSA Approved

Supportive I have a 5.11 Rush 24 backpack and this has amazing support.
However its not really deigned to be a tech backpack.


When I travel I carry a lot more tech
Headphone
Nintendo Switch
IPAD 12"
More Cables
Documents (Passport, Tickets, Visa so on...)


I have found two backpacks that I like the look off but sadly they are pretty expensive. So looking for a cheaper alternative and wanted to get some recommendations.

I like the look of the following Backpacks but sadly they are really expensive:

Nomatic Backpack RRP £150 - £200
System G Carry Backpack RRP $145 Currently on offer for $115.99 (Not sure I like the hard case feature)

Can anyone recommend a good tech backpack ?

Mode of travel? (If flight then many airlines have size restrictions for what can be taken on board).

Most of the travel will be local trains, buses so on... Maybe handful of plane trips per year.

Unknown to you....The Samsonite is good value, but doesn't have the built in charger. Swings and roundabouts, depending on requirements.

Thanks will take a look at them.

Take a look at these, I work in IT and often have 2-3 laptops in one of these along with chargers/cables etc. Usually have a bottle of water, some snacks, notepad/pen etc too with plenty of space left over.
