A great traveling laptop bag is one that'll, first and foremost, keep your laptop safe. At any point during a trip, even a simple road trip, your laptop bag can be subjected to a variety of physical trauma. Find a bag that'll negate that damage.

Good laptop bags for traveling are also ones that have plenty of space for your other creative tools, like pens, paper and flash drives. Sometimes a laptop bag is all you're taking for a quick day trip, so make sure it has the ample room for your needs.
