There’s no hiding the sheer cost of buying a laptop, whether it’s a flagship Apple MacBook or a second-hand budget Chromebook. Protecting the screen while ferrying between classes, the office, and even flights is essential. We’ve come across a ‘lightweight’ laptop bag.

It’s proof that protecting a pricey piece of tech doesn’t have to cost extortionate amounts. The HP Prelude, usually £29.99, is a stylish laptop rucksack designed to keep 15.6-inch devices protected and secure, without looking clunky.

Shopping through the platform TopCashback is what slashes the price even more, as new members will be able to combine the Argos cost with a £15 welcome bonus and cashback. This is what cuts the price to £9.37 after cashback.

That’s for both fresh members of TopCashback and Argos, while existing Argos customers (but those still new to TopCashback) can secure it for £9.89.

The HP bag features water-resistant fabric, cushioning, and storage for a fraction of other tech-endorsed premium brands – including Apple-endorsed brand Rains. Its Rolltop rucksack accommodates a 15-inch laptop but retails for £109.

Given that the HP bag at Argos costs less than £10 with the deal combination, spending over £100 represents a significant expense to weigh up. Another more budget-friendly alternative can be discovered at Amazon, with HP competitor Lenovo.

The Lenovo casual backpack, which features a 15-inch laptop compartment, is now available for £15.99. While it’s not water resistant, the fabric is water-repellent, so if you’re caught in a light shower, your laptop should be safe – provided it’s not a downpour.

The HP Prelude isn’t just for 15.6-inch laptops; it can also securely accommodate 13 and 14-inch models. As one Argos customer pointed out: “It keeps my 14-inch laptop tight along with mouse and lunch.

Even with the laptop, there’s still space to fit other items

“Overall excellent, it is waterproof and made of premium material.” Another user of the bag said: “This is a good bag. It’s nicely padded for a laptop, spare room for pens and pads.”

One shopper noted that their laptop feels ‘quite protected’, and praised the backpack for being ‘comfortable to wear’. Another person said: “Perfect thickness and material.”

However, the same customer did point out that it was ‘missing a hole for a powerbank cable’, which would be handy for charging on the move. Despite this, the same customer concluded by calling it ‘worth it’.
