0871 244 0934Choose 17-inch laptop bags, from backpacks and briefcases, with options from HP and Tech Air. Dedicated laptop sections help keep your device apart from chargers and other kit, while larger designs give bulky work and gaming laptops more room. Compare carrying styles to find a practical choice for commuting, university or travel. Give your larger laptop the space and protection it needs when you’re on the move.
Screen size doesn’t tell you the full size of your device. Before choosing 17-inch laptop bags, measure the width, depth and thickness of your closed laptop. This is even more important with models used for gaming, as thicker cases and cooling sections can add bulk. Compare those measurements with the internal compartment. Aim for a snug fit without forcing the laptop against the zip.
A 17.3-inch device can be heavier than a smaller work laptop, so think about how you’ll carry it. A backpack spreads the load across both shoulders and can suit longer walks or regular train journeys. A briefcase gives quick access and may suit shorter office trips. Whichever style you choose, check the straps, handles and empty bag weight. A heavy laptop, charger and other kit can soon add up.
Larger laptops often come with larger power adapters, so storage matters. Look for separate sections for the laptop, charger, mouse and cables. This stops hard items from pressing against your device and makes small kit easier to find. If you travel for work, think about documents and headphones too. You may need more storage, but an oversized laptop bag for a 17-inch laptop can become bulky on a busy commute.
