I’ve been a huge fan of laptops for as long as I can remember. When the first 13-inch laptop hit the market, it was like a bomb going off in my world. I had to have one! There were so many cute designs and color options. As women, we wanted to have everything – including the backpacks. Back then, it wasn’t uncommon to see college girls carrying around two or three laptop bags.
In addition to a cute design, these backpacks offered plenty of compartmentalized storage for all of my favorite computer accessories. There was even a place for my iPod, and a couple of different compartments that I could use to store all of my tiny audio books. I loved it! Now, it is easy to see why all of my friends wanted laptops – even if they didn’t have as much money – because the look and style of these laptops made them so popular.
Today, I find that these types of laptop backpacks are still popular among women, but there are also backpacks that cater to men. The main differences between the two types of laptop backpacks are the size, style and overall functionality. I definitely prefer the bigger laptop backpack style, simply because it allows me to store a lot more items. These backpacks are also typically more functional, providing more ways to store items.
