These days, many of us split our time between working both from home and in the office. Throw a spot of travelling into the mix and chances are that you'll be regularly heaving your MacBook around.
If that sounds familiar, you'll want a top-quality laptop backpack to keep your device well-protected on the road. But what makes a great laptop bag? What features make a real difference? And how much should you pay?
To find out, we pitted four of the latest laptop backpacks against each other to find out which one is worth your money. When it comes to laptop bags, you could say we've got your back...
1 STM Goods Myth 18L
> $119.95 (around £120) > FROM stmgoods.com > FEATURES 18-litre capacity, fits laptops up to 16 inches, three outer pockets, 13 inner pockets, 45x29x15cm, 1kg
The STM Goods Myth packs in more features than you might think possible. The main pocket is stuffed with 13 smaller pockets, ranging in size and shape. These include a 'SlingTech' laptop slot with its bottom several inches from the base of the bag so your MacBook never scuffs the floor.
There are so many small touches that make the Myth feel premium, from the soft felt lining of the pockets to the water-resistant zips. There's a slot on the back so you can hook the Myth over a suitcase handle, and various loops and cut-outs for cables and chargers. And the build quality is impressive, with padding and protection galore.
