We’ve all seen business people wearing the classic laptop bag that looks like an oversized purse, and while this bag is quite common, it’s not the best way to carry a laptop.  The standard laptop bag jostles around while it’s carried at the side, which in turn causes the laptop to jostle around inside.  In addition, laptop bags are often uncomfortable for the wearer because the strap chafes and scratches against the skin, and can also cause a shirt or suit to wrinkle.  The best way to carry a laptop is with a computer backpack.  Backpacks place the weight on your shoulders and back, instead of on one shoulder.  In addition, with a backpack, provided no running occurs, the laptop inside will suffer minimal jostling.  Professionals might think that computer backpacks are something that college students wear, but in truth, they’re the most practical way to carry a laptop for business, school, or entertainment. 

You can find computer backpacks at both retailers of luggage or computer supplies.  The computer backpacks intended for use as such aren’t always the best.  Sometimes a backpack with a designated pocket for a laptop is much better than the computer backpacks made by the companies who design laptop peripherals.
