There are several factors to consider when purchasing a laptop bag, which depends on a consumer's demands and personal preference. One of the most important features to consider is the bag's durability, and preferably padded to absorb a small drop or slight impact. Since laptops can be a considerable financial investment, laptop bags should not only act as a transportation device, but as protection. The compartment for the laptop should be a secure, stable area, preferably sealing the computer from outside elements. A good bag should also have ample pocket space to accommodate laptop batteries, wires, software and documents. Sturdy straps and handles are important for travel and portability. Laptops are often a target for theft, so designers have begun masking bags to look more like standard briefcases or tote bags.
