Start with how much you carry. The Platinum® Elite Slim Laptop Backpack 16L (16 x 12 x 6 in., 2.2 lb) suits a laptop and the day's essentials, the Platinum® Elite Business Laptop Backpack 27L (17.5 x 12.5 x 8.5 in., 3 lb) gives you more room, and the Altitude™ Large Expandable Laptop Backpack 30-36L (18 x 12 x 9.5 in., 4 lb) has the largest capacity of the three. Check the laptop compartment details on each product page to match your laptop.
A personal item is a bag small enough to fit under the seat in front of you, such as a tote, laptop bag or backpack, and it travels in addition to your carry-on. Personal-item limits vary by airline, and a common international limit is 18 x 14 x 8 in. Compare each bag's overall dimensions with your airline's rules in our carry-on size guide by airline.
The number is the backpack's capacity in liters. When a name shows a range, such as the Altitude™ Slim Expandable Laptop Backpack 20-24L, the lower number is the standard capacity and the higher number is the capacity when expanded. Compare the overall dimensions on each product page too, since depth decides how easily a bag fits under a seat.
