A laptop for a programmer and a workplace, and an entertainment center, and a window into the world of the network. But such freedom has one drawback: a laptop is not a small thing, you can’t put it in your pocket. You can, of course, carry it in a bag over your shoulder, but it’s not very convenient: you need to hold it with your hand, support the slipping belt, and the bag itself turns out to be wide and stiff. In general, a suitcase without a handle. A completely different thing is a backpack. Hands are free, the load is evenly distributed and much more comfortable, nothing hangs from the side. Yes, and the laptop is protected from any collisions is not an example better. It is not surprising that backpacks are so popular today among all segments of the population, not only among programmers. And on long trips and flights, backpacks are generally beyond competition. Therefore, it is worth paying special attention to the choice of a model that meets all your needs, aesthetic taste and anatomical features. So if you have to wear a laptop, and your current backpack is tired or you don’t like something, or you are just thinking about switching to a backpack, we recommend that you look at this selection.
