Ask HN: Best backpack for everyday use?
I am currently carrying a cheap backpack every day for the past years and now I want to buy one of a better quality.
What I (think I) need is:
- A small backpack. To fit a 13'' laptop. I would be happy if it could fit a bigger one too but I want the backpack to be slim, light and relatively small. 15'' backpacks tend to be big. I want a small backpack.
- Usually, I carry a 13'' MBP laptop, a shirt and a few gadgets like a powerbank, cables, etc. And ofc IDs, business cards, and smaller stuff.
- Good quality, to handle the sweat on the back and not be easily scratched, get dirt etc. I will use it every day going to and coming back from the office and after work, I may still do a walk before going back home. I do have another bigger backpack for traveling but this one I want for everyday use.
- Nice to have an easily accessible pocket without getting the backpack off my shoulders to put a key, a wallet, a phone etc.
Regarding budget, I would say between 80$-120$.
Have you used a backpack that fits that description? Some other recommendation/advice?
