If you are searching for a dual laptop backpack then you are not alone. Technicians, work commuters, and frequent travelers may have more than one laptop to lug around and are in need of a 2-laptop backpack solution.

Ideally what we would want is a backpack with two separate padded laptop sleeves. With the exception of one dual laptop backpack by Hex – we found that most major brands aren’t chomping at the bits to design and release a true two-laptop backpack. This forces us to compromise and get creative with how we carry two laptops.

In this article we are going to explore our best multiple laptop backpack solutions and list our favorite backpacks that can accommodate two laptops.

If you have found a true dual laptop backpack or if you are a brand releasing such a bag, please reach out to us and we will gladly add the backpack to this list.

Dual laptop backpack carry options

Finding a backpack with two separate laptop compartments feels a lot like unicorn hunting. We searched far and wide and truth be told we haven’t had much luck in finding a true dual-pocket laptop backpack.

So what are our options?

1. Taking advantage of larger tablet pockets

We can take advantage of larger tablet pockets to accommodate a second laptop. Of course, this requires one of your laptops to be on the smaller and on the thinner side. It also requires the tablet pocket to be wider and longer than your average 10-inch tablet. We found that the Nomatic Backpack is a good example of such a backpack as it can comfortably fit a 13” Macbook Pro in the tablet sleeve in addition to a 15” laptop inside the laptop sleeve.

Both a 15.6” PC and 13” Macbook Pro fit inside the Nomatic Backpack (Amazon)

2. Sharing the laptop Compartment

You can take advantage of laptop backpacks with oversized laptop compartments that can accommodate two laptops. One example is the North Face Surge that features a large divided laptop compartment that can fit up to two 15” laptops.

The North Face Surge can fit two 15” laptops inside its large laptop compartment.

3. Using a separate padded laptop sleeve

The easiest way of turning a backpack into a two laptop backpack is by purchasing a separate padded laptop sleeve and storing your second device in the main compartment or in the laptop compartment if there is room to spare.

Unlike sharing a laptop pocket, a laptop sleeve allows your second laptop to have its own cushioned area to safeguard it from bumps and scratches. Padded laptop sleeves are fairly cheap and it’s easy to find a great quality one for your exact laptop size.

Best backpacks for two laptops

The backpack criteria is simple – find bags that can best accommodate two laptops. From roomy laptop compartments to innovative main compartment systems, here are our top picks.

Hex x Serj Tankian Backpack

Buy on Hex

Hex has teamed up with Serj Tankian (artist and System of a Down frontman) to design a unique backpack that’s perfect for travel and daily carry alike. This is one of the only backpacks available today that offers true dual laptop carry. The backpack features a 15” laptop compartment in the front of the bag with an additional 15” padded laptop sleeve inside the main compartment for a true two laptop backpack without compromise.

When it comes to pockets and compartments the Hex x Serj Tankian Backpack features lots of clever pockets and organizers to keep smaller items safely stashed away. A sample includes a stash pocket for earbuds on the back panel, multiple slip pockets for tech and a generous 24 liter main compartment for bulkier items.

Nomatic Backpack

Buy on Amazon

Nomatic has set out to design the ultimate tech backpack with their flagship backpack and we think they succeeded. In addition to a full size 15” laptop sleeve the backpack also includes a padded tablet sleeve that can comfortably fit a 13” Macbook Pro. The entire tech panel where the sleeves are located has a false bottom that “floats” a few inches from the bottom of the bag to offer full padded protection of both devices. If you carry both a 15” and 13” laptop and want a premium backpack then Nomatic is a clear choice.

The North Face Surge

Buy on Amazon

Although not technically a two laptop backpack, the North Face Surge features a massive laptop compartment with a divider that comfortably fits up to two 15” laptops. Along with a roomy laptop compartment, the Surge also has plenty of fleece lined pockets for tech and other items you want to keep safe. When it comes to North Face backpacks, the Surge is definitely one of our favorites for tech enthusiasts on the go who need a reliable and safe way to carry their gear.

Wandrd Prvke

Buy on WANDRD

Made for photographers, travelers and daily commuters alike, the WANDRD PRVKE offers an innovative take on style and function. Laptop storage in this backpack can be found in the back clamshell zipper entry against the back panel and its oversized padded tablet sleeve allows you to use the WNDRD PRVKE as a dual laptop bag when needed.

WNDRD states that you can fit up to a 16” Macbook Pro in the padded laptop sleeve and up to a 12.9” iPad Pro in the tablet sleeve. We found that the tablet sleeve can actually fit a 13” Macbook as shown in the photo. PC users beware – the largest PC laptop you’ll be able to store in the laptop sleeve is 14”.

Everki Atlas Laptop Backpack

Buy on Amazon

Those looking for a reliable dual laptop backpack will love the ruggedness and performance based design of the Everki Atlas. The bag features a TSA friendly laptop compartment that has both a padded laptop and separate tablet sleeve for easy carry of multiple devices.

What makes the Everki Atlas so special is that the laptop sleeve is expandable thanks to its velcro strapping system. This allows you to carry a very large laptop or two thinner laptops in the same padded laptop pocket. Small enough laptops can also fit in the tablet sleeve while the main compartment is also large enough to also accommodate a second laptop in a padded sleeve.

Yorepek Travel Laptop Backpack

Buy on Amazon

With a large capacity and tons of storage options, the Yorepek Travel Laptop backpack is a great choice for those on a budget who don’t want to compromise on functionality.

Although not technically a 2 laptop backpack, this bag can comfortably store two laptops in either the back laptop compartment or in the main compartment. The laptop compartment is TSA friendly and opens up clamshell style to access a single padded laptop compartment and a separate mesh sleeve that can hold a 2nd laptop or tablet.

Tom Bihn Brain Backpack - Multiple laptop backpack

Tom Bihn Brain Bag (with Cache)

Buy on Tom Bihn

The Brain Bag consists of two separate main compartments. What makes the Brain Bag such an ideal multiple laptop backpack is its Cache and Rail system. A Cache is a Tom Bihn padded laptop sleeve that you can purchase separately. Each Cache can be attached to “Rails” on the inside of either main compartment for an instant removable laptop compartment. The ability to add more than one Cache easily makes the Brain Bag the best backpack for multiple laptops.

High Sierra Swerve - A cheap two laptop backpack

High Sierra Swerve Backpack

Buy on Amazon

A popular backpack amongst students, the High Sierra Swerve backpack is a great inexpensive backpack for those who carry tons of tech and need enough room for things like books, extra clothes and accessories.

The Swerve makes a great two laptop backpack thanks to its “Tech Spot” compartment that features a padded laptop sleeve and tablet sleeve with room to spare for a second laptop. Since the laptop area is in it’s own zippered compartment, larger laptops can fit in the same compartment inside its own padded sleeve. This is a great option for anyone who wants to keep their laptops separate from the rest of the bag. For under $60, the High Sierra Swerve is one of the better backpacks that can accommodate two laptops securely.

Everki Versa Premium Laptop Backpack

Everki offers another great backpack option for those who need a tough high-quality bag for work and travel with the Versa laptop backpack.

Unlike the bulkier Everki Atlas, the Versa offers a smaller form factor that makes a great dual laptop backpack for thinner laptops such as Chromebooks, newer Macbooks, and other similar-sized laptops. Two thin laptops under 14 inches can fit in the laptop compartment thanks to its roomy padded pocket and separate tablet sleeve.
