14" Laptop Bags

14in is the most common business laptop size, and this is where most work bags are made — ThinkPad, Latitude, EliteBook, ExpertBook and the thin-and-light consumer machines all sit here.

Sizing. The stated figure is a maximum for the laptop, not the bag’s own dimensions. Modern machines vary: a 14in laptop with slim bezels can be physically smaller than an older 13.3in one, and a 14in convertible can be thicker than both. Compare your machine’s measurements against the stated internal dimensions.

Format follows the journey. A sleeve is padding alone, to go inside another bag. A slim brief or slip case adds a handle, a strap and room for a charger and papers — the standard choice for commuting by car or train. A backpack spreads weight across both shoulders and is the right answer for a walk or a bicycle.

Two features worth looking for: a trolley strap for anyone who flies, and a suspended laptop compartment that keeps the machine off the base of the bag.

The range covers Targus, Kensington, Dell, Lenovo and PREVO, including water-resistant EcoSmart models.
