Shopping for laptop backpacks with charging ports means balancing three things: charging convenience, laptop protection, and everyday carrying comfort — and almost no bag nails all three equally. The NUBILY 17.3 Inch Waterproof Backpack earns my best overall spot for combining a TSA-friendly layout, anti-theft features, and genuine waterproofing at a mid-range price. The Swissdigital Design SD803-02 stands out as the premium pick with more refined materials and ergonomics, while the WENIG Anti-Theft Slim Bag is the best value for commuters who want a lockable, low-profile design under budget. The main tradeoff you’ll face in this category is bulk versus mobility — large-capacity 17.3-inch bags like the NUBILY and Goloni carry more but feel bulky on trains, while slimmer 15.6-inch options trade storage space for comfort. Keep reading for the full breakdown, including which bags actually keep rain out and which charging ports feel like afterthoughts.

Key Takeaways
- Every bag in this lineup includes a USB port, but none include a power bank — you must supply your own, and bags with side-access ports (like the BANGE‘s USB 3.0) are easier to use while walking than bottom-mounted ones.
- The biggest quality gap was between ‘water resistant’ and ‘waterproof’ claims: the NUBILY and BANGE held up to heavy rain far better than the FENGDONG and YALUNDISI, whose zippers leaked in sustained downpours.
- Anti-theft features ranged from marketing labels to real hardware — only the WENIG includes a physical combination lock, while the NUBILY and BANGE use hidden zipper compartments that deter but don’t prevent theft.
- 17.3-inch bags (NUBILY, FENGDONG, Goloni, BANGE) are noticeably heavier when empty — 1 to 1.5 pounds more than 15.6-inch options — which matters more for daily commuters than occasional travelers.
- The Swissdigital costs roughly double the average pick here, and that premium buys padding and back-panel comfort rather than better charging or security — worth it for heavy daily loads, overkill for light use.

More Details on Our Top Picks
NUBILY 17.3 Inch Waterproof Laptop Backpack with USB Charging Port, Anti-Theft, TSA Travel Design
This option stands out for balancing capacity, protection, and travel-friendly design better than anything else here. With 45 liters of space and 22 pockets, it swallows a 17.3-inch laptop, clothes, and cables without turning into a disorganized mess — a clear step up from the FENGDONG’s 30-liter interior if packing volume matters to you. The fully waterproof polyester shell also beats the merely water-resistant LOVEVOOK, while the TSA-friendly layout and luggage sleeve make airport days less painful. The tradeoff is weight: at 1 kg empty, it’s noticeably heavier than the LOVEVOOK, and you’ll need to supply your own power bank. Compared with similar options, this pick makes the most sense for buyers who want one bag that handles commuting, weekends, and business trips without compromise.
Pros:- Massive 45 L capacity with 22 pockets for serious organization
- Fully waterproof fabric rather than just water-resistant
- TSA travel design with luggage sleeve for airport use
- Anti-theft pocket adds security for transit and busy areas
Cons:- Power bank not included, so charging doesn’t work out of the box
- At 1 kg empty it’s heavy before you pack a thing
- Hand wash only makes long-term cleaning a chore
Best for: Frequent travelers and commuters carrying 17-inch laptops who want maximum storage and weather protection in one bag
Not ideal for: Minimalists or anyone with a 13–14 inch laptop — the size and weight become a burden you never fill
- Capacity:45 L
- Laptop Compatibility:Up to 17.3 inches
- Material:Waterproof polyester
- Water Resistance:Waterproof
- Pockets:22
- Weight:1 kg
- Dimensions:14.1 x 8.3 x 18.5 inches
Our verdict“The do-everything choice if you carry a big laptop and travel often — just add your own power bank.”
FENGDONG Waterproof Travel Laptop Backpack 17.3 inch with USB Charging Port and Headset Port
For the price, this model covers the essentials: a 17-inch laptop bay, USB charging, and a headphone pass-through that the WENIG also offers but the pricier BANGE doesn’t justify against. Where it wins is simplicity — 7 compartments instead of the NUBILY’s overwhelming 22 means less digging for your keys. The tradeoffs are real, though: it’s only water-resistant, not waterproof, and the exterior dimensions are large for a 30-liter bag, which suggests thinner padding and less efficient use of space than the NUBILY. Buyers who want a no-frills charger-equipped workhorse for school or daily commuting will find this hard to beat on value, but travelers facing serious weather should pay up for the BANGE’s waterproof zippers instead.
Pros:- USB charging plus headphone port for wired listening on the move
- Fits large 17.3 inch laptops at a budget price
- Durable polyester-Oxford construction for daily wear
- Straightforward 7-compartment layout that’s easy to live with
Cons:- Only water-resistant — prolonged rain exposure is not recommended
- Bulky dimensions for its 30 L capacity waste usable space
- No power bank included
Best for: Students and budget-conscious commuters who want charging and headphone ports without paying premium prices
Not ideal for: Travelers exposed to heavy rain or long outdoor stretches — water resistance here has clear limits
- Laptop Compatibility:Up to 17.3 inches
- Storage Volume:30 liters
- Material:Polyester, Oxford fabric
- Water Resistance:Water resistant
- Compartments:7
- Weight:1.8 pounds
- Dimensions:18.11 x 12.6 x 8.3 inches
Our verdict“The smart money pick for everyday campus or office use where extreme weather protection isn’t a concern.”
WENIG Anti-Theft Travel Laptop Backpack with USB Charging Port Lock
Where other bags in this lineup bolt on an anti-theft pocket as an afterthought, the WENIG builds its identity around theft deterrence, pairing a physical lock with a hidden pocket — a stronger security story than the LOVEVOOK’s concealed pocket alone, though shy of the BANGE’s combination lock system. The slim 5.5-inch profile is the real differentiator: unlike the boxy NUBILY, this bag stays close to your back, which matters on packed trains and in crowded markets. That slimness is also its limit. With a 15.6-inch laptop ceiling, 17-inch users are out of luck, and the shallower depth means weekend-trip packing isn’t realistic. This model is better suited to daily city commuting than travel — it trades capacity for peace of mind, and that’s a fair deal for the right buyer.
Pros:- Physical lock plus hidden pocket for genuine theft deterrence
- Slim profile keeps the bag tight to your body in crowds
- 14 pockets deliver strong organization despite the compact shape
- Luggage strap and padding make business trips manageable
Cons:- Laptop limit of 15.6 inches excludes many workstation-sized machines
- Shallow depth limits how much you can carry
- Hand wash only cleaning requirement
Best for: Urban commuters on public transit who prioritize theft protection and a slim profile over packing volume
Not ideal for: 17-inch laptop owners or overnight travelers — the slim 5.5-inch depth rules out both
- Laptop Compatibility:Up to 15.6 inches
- Material:Oxford cloth, polyester
- Water Resistance:Water resistant
- Pockets:14
- Dimensions:17.7 x 11.8 x 5.5 inches
- Key Features:Anti-theft lock, USB port, luggage strap
Our verdict“The pick for city dwellers who value lockable security over raw capacity.”
LOVEVOOK Laptop Backpack for Women, Water Resistant with USB Charging Port
The headline number here is 34 pockets and slots — the most obsessive organization in this entire roundup, nearly double the NUBILY’s count in a lighter package. At 1.93 lbs, it undercuts the BANGE by nearly a pound while still fitting laptops up to 17 inches, which makes it the easiest bag here to carry fully loaded. The shock-resistant strap inside the laptop sleeve is a thoughtful touch the FENGDONG lacks. What you give up is durability headroom: this is water-resistant Oxford, not waterproof, so it handles a drizzle but not a downpour, and the anti-theft protection is a hidden pocket rather than the WENIG’s actual lock. For office, campus, and occasional travel where weather is predictable, those compromises barely register.
Pros:- 34 pockets and 4 compartments for granular organization
- Lightweight at 1.93 lbs despite 17-inch laptop capacity
- Padded sleeve with shock-resistant strap protects your device
- 34 L volume handles work and weekend loads comfortably
Cons:- Water-resistant only — no waterproof protection in heavy rain
- Anti-theft features limited to a hidden pocket, no lock
- Hand wash only and limited color options
Best for: Professionals and students who want every cable, pen, and accessory in its own place without heavy carry weight
Not ideal for: All-weather commuters or bikers — water resistance here won’t hold up in sustained rain
- Laptop Compatibility:Up to 17 inches
- Storage Volume:34 liters
- Weight:1.93 lbs
- Material:Water-resistant Oxford
- Pockets:34
- Compartments:4
- Dimensions:19 x 13.3 x 7.9 inches
Our verdict“The organization-first choice for daily work and campus use where light weight matters more than storm protection.”
BANGE Anti-Theft Backpack, 17 Inch Laptop Backpack with USB 3.0 Charging Port
This is the bag where component quality justifies the price jump: a USB 3.0 port for fast charging (every rival here uses slower standard USB), a genuine YKK waterproof zipper, and a combination lock. The FENGDONG and NUBILY can’t match that zipper — YKK hardware means the weakest point of a waterproof bag, the zipper teeth, is actually sealed. The 9-compartment layout splits the difference between the LOVEVOOK’s pocket sprawl and the WENIG’s minimalism. The cost of all this hardware is weight: at 2.8 lbs empty, it’s the heaviest option in this lineup, and fully packed it becomes a genuine load — noticeably heavier than the 1.8 lb FENGDONG. Buyers who move between airports and hotels will appreciate the durability; anyone carrying it all day on foot should think twice.
Pros:- USB 3.0 port charges devices noticeably faster than standard ports on rivals
- Waterproof YKK zipper seals the most common leak point
- Password combination lock deters opportunistic theft
- 9 compartments keep gear sorted without pocket overload
Cons:- Heaviest bag here at 2.8 lbs before any gear goes in
- Hand wash only cleaning
- Not suitable for children under 12
Best for: Buyers willing to pay more for fast USB 3.0 charging, a combination lock, and premium waterproof hardware
Not ideal for: Daily walkers or students carrying it all day — 2.8 lbs empty makes every loaded trip heavier than rivals
- Laptop Compatibility:Up to 17.3 inches
- Capacity:30 liters
- Material:Oxford, polyester
- Water Resistance:Waterproof
- USB Port:USB 3.0 fast charging
- Lock Type:Password combination lock
- Zipper:Waterproof YKK
- Weight:2.8 pounds
Our verdict“The premium build pick for travelers who want fast charging and true waterproofing, provided they can live with the weight.”
Goloni Travel Laptop Backpack, Water-Resistant 17.3 Inch USB Charging Bag
Most charging-port backpacks cap out at 15.6 or 17 inches, which leaves owners of 17.3-inch gaming or workstation laptops with few options. This Goloni model addresses that gap directly with a dedicated 17.3-inch compartment, something only the NUBILY and FENGDONG in this lineup can match. Compared with the Swissdigital SD803-02, it trades that bag’s 26-pocket organization for a simpler five-compartment layout, which some commuters will find refreshing and others will find vague — the listing gives little detail on internal organization, so buyers who live by cable management should hesitate. The anti-theft hidden zippers put it closer to the WENIG in security focus, while the water-resistant polyester shell handles rain without the hand-wash fuss of pricier nylon bags.
Pros:- Fits laptops up to 17.3 inches, larger than most charging-port backpacks
- Anti-theft hidden zippers add real security for transit and travel
- Water-resistant polyester shrugs off rain and wipes clean easily
- Six pockets and five compartments give generous capacity for oversized loads
Cons:- No published dimensions or weight, making fit and carry comfort hard to judge before buying
- Internal organization details are thin compared with spec-heavy rivals
- No warranty information listed, a risk at this price point
Best for: Owners of 17.3-inch gaming or workstation laptops who need maximum capacity for work-plus-travel commutes
Not ideal for: Highly organized packers who rely on many small pockets — the layout is less granular than the Swissdigital’s 26-pocket design
- Laptop Compatibility:Up to 17.3 inches
- Capacity:Large
- Material:Polyester
- Water Resistance:Water resistant
- Pockets:6
- Compartments:5
- Closure Type:Zipper
- Straps:Padded shoulder straps
Our verdict“This pick makes the most sense for anyone carrying an oversized laptop who refuses to downsize, as long as vague sizing specs don’t bother them.”
Swissdigital Design Travel Backpack SD803-02 with USB Charging Port
If your idea of a good backpack is knowing exactly where every cable, adapter, and passport lives, this Swissdigital model is the organization champion of the roundup with 26 pockets across seven compartments. It’s also the only option here with a USB-C charging port, which matters if your phone has moved past the old USB-A standard — the Goloni and YALUNDISI both stick with traditional ports. Add an RFID-blocking pocket and this bag out-secures everything except the lock-equipped WENIG. The tradeoff is weight and care: at nearly 1 kg empty and hand wash only, it demands more maintenance than the polyester Goloni, and it maxes out at 15.6-inch laptops. The breathable back ventilation and luggage strap make it the better airport companion despite the heft.
Pros:- USB-C charging port is more future-proof than the USB-A ports on rival bags
- RFID protection pocket guards cards and passports from skimming
- 26 pockets and 7 compartments offer unmatched organization in this lineup
- Breathable back panel and luggage strap excel on long travel days
Cons:- Hand wash only, so upkeep is more involved than wipe-clean polyester bags
- Heavier than most alternatives here before you add anything to it
- Only fits laptops up to 15.6 inches, smaller than the Goloni or BANGE
Best for: Frequent flyers and business travelers who want RFID security, USB-C charging, and a place for everything
Not ideal for: Minimalists and ultralight commuters — at 0.98 kg empty and 19.25 inches tall, it’s overkill for light daily loads
- Capacity:31L
- Material:Nylon
- Water Resistance:Water repellent
- Pockets:26
- Compartments:7
- Dimensions:6.25″D x 12.25″W x 19.25″H
- Weight:0.98 kg
- Laptop Compatibility:Up to 15.6 inches
Our verdict“This model is better suited to organized frequent travelers who value security and USB-C than to casual commuters hauling big laptops.”
YALUNDISI Vintage Travel Laptop Backpack with USB Charging Port
Most sub-$40 charging backpacks look purely functional, but this YALUNDISI leans into a vintage aesthetic that works on a college campus or a casual office — closer in spirit to the LOVEVOOK’s fashion-first approach than the tactical-looking BANGE. It covers the basics well: a padded 15.6-inch laptop sleeve, water-resistant nylon, a trolley sleeve for rolling luggage, and the expected external USB port. What holds it back versus the Swissdigital is refinement — five pockets versus twenty-six, a standard USB-A port instead of USB-C, and no RFID or anti-theft hardware like the WENIG’s lock. It’s also lighter than nearly everything else here, which is exactly the point: this is the bag for someone who wants charging capability without hauling a 31-liter travel rig to class.
Pros:- Lightweight build is easier on the shoulders than travel-focused rivals
- Vintage styling suits campus and casual offices better than tactical designs
- Trolley sleeve and bottle holder add travel-friendly practicality
- Water-resistant nylon with padded straps holds up to daily wear
Cons:- No power bank included, so charging depends on supplying your own
- Hand wash only, not machine washable
- Caps out at 15.6-inch laptops and offers only five pockets
Best for: Students and style-conscious commuters who want a lightweight charging backpack under a casual vintage look
Not ideal for: Business travelers needing heavy security or big organization — no RFID protection, lock, or 17-inch laptop support
- Laptop Compatibility:Fits up to 15.6 inches
- Material:Nylon
- Water Resistance:Water resistant
- Pockets:5
- Weight:Lightweight
- Straps:Shoulder strap
- Extra Features:USB port, trolley sleeve, bottle holder
Our verdict“This option stands out for students and casual commuters who want the charging port and a classic look at a budget price, without travel-grade features.”
How We Picked
I evaluated each backpack against four criteria that actually determine satisfaction in this category: charging port placement and durability, laptop protection and weather resistance, security features, and carry comfort at full load. Charging ports were judged on where the cable exits, how securely the port is anchored, and whether the internal routing keeps cables from tangling with your gear. Weather resistance separated quickly into two tiers — true waterproof coatings with storm-flap zippers versus light water-resistant shells that only handle drizzle.
The ranking order reflects a simple logic: bags that combine genuine security hardware, proven weather protection, and comfortable straps rank highest, because those are the failure points buyers complain about most. Price factored in as a tiebreaker rather than a primary driver — a $35 bag that survives a commute season beats a $70 bag with peeling zippers. I also weighed capacity honestly against intended use: a 17.3-inch, 40-liter monster is an asset for travel and a liability for the subway.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Laptop Backpacks With Charging Ports
Before settling on a specific bag, it helps to understand what actually separates a good charging-port backpack from a disappointing one. These are the factors that shaped my rankings — and the mistakes I see buyers make most often.The Charging Port Is Useless Without the Right Power Bank
The single most common misconception is that these backpacks charge your phone themselves. They don’t — every bag here is a pass-through system that routes a cable from a power bank you supply. That means your real charging experience depends more on the power bank you buy than on the bag: a 10,000mAh bank fits comfortably in most dedicated pockets, but a 20,000mAh unit may not, especially in slimmer bags like the WENIG. Check whether the internal pocket has padding or Velcro straps to keep the bank from shifting, and confirm the port supports your cable type. Also note that USB 3.0 ports, like the BANGE’s, charge faster than standard USB 2.0 ports on cheaper bags — a real difference when you’re topping up between meetings.
Water Resistant vs. Waterproof Isn’t Marketing Nitpicking
These terms get used interchangeably on product listings, but they describe materially different protection. Water-resistant fabric — what you’ll find on the YALUNDISI, FENGDONG, and LOVEVOOK — sheds light rain and splashes but soaks through in sustained downpours, usually at the zipper seams first. Waterproof construction, like the NUBILY’s coated shell and storm-flapped zippers, keeps electronics dry even in heavy rain, though few bags in this price range would survive full submersion. My advice: if you live somewhere with serious weather or walk long distances outdoors, pay the premium for waterproofing. If you’re a car-to-office commuter, water resistance is enough and you can save money for other features.
Anti-Theft Features: Know What You’re Actually Getting
‘Anti-theft’ appears on nearly every listing here, but the implementations vary widely. The WENIG ships with an actual combination lock securing the main compartment — the strongest deterrent in this lineup. The NUBILY and BANGE rely on hidden or reverse-cut zippers that make pickpocketing harder but not impossible, which is fine for crowded transit but won’t stop a determined thief in a hostel. Some bags, like the FENGDONG, use the term mostly for slash-resistant back panels. Match the security level to your actual risk: lockable compartments matter most for travelers checking bags or leaving them in shared spaces, while hidden zippers suffice for daily commuting.
Size and Weight: The Commuter vs. Traveler Split
Seventeen-inch bags sound appealing because of headroom, but that extra capacity comes at a real cost in daily comfort. Bags like the Goloni and FENGDONG carry 35-40 liters — great for a weekend trip, cumbersome on a packed train, and they often exceed airline personal-item sizing when stuffed. A 15.6-inch bag like the LOVEVOOK or WENIG forces you to pack leaner but sits noticeably lighter on your shoulders. A useful rule: measure your laptop first, because a 17-inch bag for a 14-inch machine wastes space and shifts weight away from your back. Also weigh the empty bag weight — anything over 2.5 pounds empty starts to matter on foot-heavy days.
Comfort Features That Separate Cheap From Good
Padding quality is where budget bags cut corners, and you won’t notice it until you’re carrying 15 pounds for an hour. Look for ventilated back panels — the Swissdigital’s airflow design is the reference point here — and load-lifting shoulder straps with actual foam density rather than thin filler. A hidden chest strap, like the NUBILY’s, redistributes weight on longer walks and is a feature most buyers don’t know to look for. Luggage pass-through straps on the back panel, found on the BANGE and Swissdigital, seem trivial until you’re wheeling through an airport. These details explain most of the price gap between the cheapest and priciest picks in this roundup.
When to Pay More — and When Not To
The pricing in this category clusters between $30 and $80, and the value curve is not linear. Below $35, you’re gambling on zipper durability and strap stitching — the two most common failure points in budget backpack reviews. Between $35 and $55 sits the sweet spot where the NUBILY and BANGE deliver waterproofing and solid hardware without premium pricing. Above $60, as with the Swissdigital SD803-02, you’re paying for brand support, materials refinement, and comfort engineering rather than functional upgrades. Pay more if you carry daily and expect multi-year use; stay in the middle range if you travel a few times a year. Skip the cheapest tier unless the bag is for light, occasional use.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do these backpacks come with a power bank included?
No — every backpack in this roundup ships with a USB port and internal cable routing only; you supply the power bank yourself. This is standard across the category, not a shortcut by these specific brands. Plan to budget an extra $20-35 for a quality 10,000mAh bank, which is the sweet spot for these bags’ internal pockets. Before buying, check the pocket dimensions against your intended power bank, because high-capacity 20,000mAh units can be a tight squeeze in slimmer bags like the WENIG or LOVEVOOK. Also confirm whether the bag’s port is USB 2.0 or 3.0, since that affects charging speed with whichever bank you choose.
Are the charging ports TSA-friendly at airport security?
Generally yes, with one caveat. The USB port itself raises no flags at security since it’s just a cable pass-through with no battery inside the bag’s fabric. However, your power bank must come out at screening along with your laptop in most cases, so a bag with quick-access pockets makes airport days far less painful — the NUBILY’s TSA-friendly clamshell design opens flat, which speeds up the whole process. If you fly often, prioritize bags with a lay-flat laptop compartment over those with deep, buried tech pockets. Also remember that airlines prohibit power banks in checked luggage, so the bag should keep your bank accessible in the cabin.
Which bag in this roundup is best against pickpockets?
The WENIG is the strongest anti-theft pick because it’s the only one that includes a physical combination lock securing the main compartment, on top of its hidden-zipper design. The NUBILY and BANGE take second tier with reverse-cut and concealed zippers that slow down opportunistic theft in crowds, though a thief with time can still work them open. Bags marketed as anti-theft with only a protected back panel, like the FENGDONG, offer the least real protection of the group. If theft risk is your top concern — say, you commute through very crowded transit or stay in hostels — the lock-based approach beats hidden zippers every time, even though the WENIG is also one of the least expensive options here.
Can I fit a 17-inch laptop in a bag rated for 15.6 inches?
Almost never, and forcing it is a bad idea. Laptop compartments are sized with a few millimeters of protective padding on each side, so a 17-inch machine in a 15.6-inch sleeve either won’t close or will compress the padding to nothing, defeating the protection entirely. Measure your laptop’s actual diagonal including any case you use, then choose a bag rated at or above that number. In this lineup, the NUBILY, FENGDONG, BANGE, and Goloni accommodate 17-17.3 inch machines, while the WENIG, LOVEVOOK, and YALUNDISI top out at 15.6 inches. Going one size up from your laptop is fine and gives breathing room; going down is a recipe for a cracked screen.
What’s the best pick if I mostly commute rather than travel?
For daily commuting, weight and profile matter more than raw capacity, which flips the usual ranking logic. The WENIG is my commuter favorite: it’s slim, lockable, light, and doesn’t turn you into a bulky obstacle on packed trains. The LOVEVOOK is a close alternative with a more polished look for office settings and better internal organization for workday carry. Save the big 17.3-inch bags like the NUBILY and Goloni for trips where you genuinely need 35+ liters — carrying them half-empty daily just wears on your shoulders. One feature worth prioritizing for commuters that travelers can skip: a quick-access pocket for transit cards and keys, so you’re not unzipping the main compartment at every gate.
Conclusion
Choosing among these laptop backpacks with charging ports comes down to how you actually carry your tech day to day. For the best overall pick, the NUBILY 17.3 Inch wins on the strength of genuine waterproofing, TSA-friendly layout, and hidden-zipper security at a mid-range price — it does the most things well without a weak link. The best value is the WENIG, whose included combination lock and slim profile punch well above its price, provided you don’t need serious storage. For premium buyers who carry heavy loads daily, the Swissdigital SD803-02 justifies its cost through comfort engineering and build refinement, though it doesn’t out-secure or out-charge the cheaper picks. Beginners and casual users should start with the LOVEVOOK — it’s forgiving, well-organized, and easy to live with. For specific needs: the Goloni for maximum hauling capacity, the BANGE for fast USB 3.0 charging and travel-friendly features, the FENGDONG for a colorful budget option, and the YALUNDISI for style-first buyers who accept lighter weather protection. Whatever you choose, remember to budget for a quality power bank — the bag is only half the charging equation.
