Booq Boa Flow laptop backpack

There’s a growing trend of eschewing typical laptop bags for backpacks and it’s a good thing. Typical bags tend to place more weight on one side of the body, thus promoting back problems. Backpacks distribute the weight evenly, thus saving your back. Plus, they’re not seen as dorky like they used to be.

If you’re in the market for a laptop backpack then you should consider the Booq line. Most popular is the Booq Boa (all their products are named after snakes). The Boa Flow in particular is their best seller. It costs just under $200 and can carry a laptop as big as 15.5″ (there’s also XL model for 17-inch laptops). The backpack weighs 4.5 lbs and is made from ballistic nylon with water-repellant coating to protect your laptop from all but the most torrential of rains. The zippers are never going to break, there’s an HD foam compartment inside meant to protect your computer from damage, and there are side pockets to hold your phone, iPod, water bottle, etc. There’s also a 5 year warranty that insures you against product failure. When you pay this much for something you want to know you’re protected.
