Guide & know-how
Notebook backpacks for MacBook Pro 14″/16″, MacBook Air 13″/15″ and generic 15.6″/17.3″ laptops at RPD. With padded notebook compartment, tablet slot for iPad or Surface, organised inner pockets for cables and adapter, external USB port for on-the-go charging and the detail that matters in Switzerland: water-repellent outer material (PU-coated polyester, often with YKK zips). Ideal for train commuters, bike rides and business travel. Ships from our Basel warehouse, same-day dispatch by 4 pm, free above CHF 15 and 2-year Swiss warranty. Invoice payment available (credit check by Powerpay).
Start with notebook size: 15″/15.6″ models fit MacBook Air 15″ and Pro 14″, 16″ models accommodate the MacBook Pro 16″ and generic 15.6″ comfortably, 17″ models take gaming laptops and the MacBook Pro 16″ with extra padding. Commuters favour the smallest fitting model (less weight, less volume), business travellers reach for 15–25 L volumes with trolley pass-through.
Swiss weather calls for a water-repellent outer skin (PU-coated polyester, Cordura) and ideally a rain cover in a bottom compartment. Premium packs use YKK zips, double-stitched shoulder straps and hidden anti-theft compartments at the back (RFID-blocking for cards, no quick-access while worn). Premium brands like Peak Design, Aer and Bellroy offer magnetic quick-access and 360°-padded notebook cradles.
Notebook compartments follow inch classes: 15.6″ compartment fits MacBook Air 15″, Pro 14″ and generic 15.6″. 16″ compartment fits MacBook Pro 16″ and generic 15.6″ with padding to spare. Check inner dimensions: MacBook Pro 16″ measures 35.5 × 24.8 cm — so a compartment ≥ 37 cm tall and ≥ 26 cm wide. Tablet slots are usually sized for 11–13″ (iPad Pro 13″, iPad Air 13″, Surface Pro).
Ergonomic packs have S-curved padded shoulder straps, a chest and hip strap for hikes and a breathable mesh back. The external USB port is not a battery — it routes a cable from a powerbank in an inner pocket to the outside, so you can charge an iPhone or watch while wearing the pack. Recycled rPET from PET bottles is standard with sustainable brands (Ecoalf, Wandrd, Lefrik).
Daily commuters: 15–20 L. Business travel with 1–2 nights: 20–30 L. Weekend with 3–4 nights: 30–40 L. The cabin limit for SWISS and Lufthansa is 55 × 40 × 20 cm — any notebook backpack below that is carry-on compliant.
When the notebook compartment is 360°-padded (5–10 mm foam around the device) and does not touch the pack''s floor, it survives shoulder-height drops. Premium packs like Peak Design Everyday Backpack have foldable inner dividers.
You put a powerbank in an inner pocket, connect it to the internal USB cable and charge an iPhone or earbuds at the outside port without opening the pack. No built-in battery — just routing.
Water-repellent yes (PU coating, YKK zips). Fully waterproof IPX-rated only on marked models — usually roll-top designs without a main-compartment zip.
