Pacsafe Camsafe V17
This versatile anti-theft backpack (HK$1,150) is aimed at photographers, with a removable, padded compartment for a DSLR camera and lenses.
However, there is also an area for either a 13-inch laptop or a three-litre hydration bladder. Available from fortress.com.hk
This is a great choice for those who like to travel as light as possible, with the sling pack (HK$520) weighing in at just 280 grams. Its strap has a phone pocket with headphone port, and inside is a tablet sleeve. Available from overlander.com.hk
This rectangular backpack (HK$1,198) is designed to hold a 15-inch MacBook Pro Retina, but there’s much more to it. Its pockets are highly organised, including one on the bottom for stowing a raincoat away from electronics. However, its sling design will not suit everyone. Available from srsworks.com

Designed specially for families, this roomy backpack (HK$304) has compartments for bottles, diapers, tissues and dozens of other accessories only a parent could ask for. The fabric is water-repellent, while the bag comes with a carry handle as well as shoulder straps, so it can be easily fixed to a pram. Available from thebazaar.com.hk
Primarily designed to glide through airports, the carry-on-sized Xenon 2 (HK$496.20) has gadget pockets, and even one to store toiletries for easy access at airport security. A strap found on the rear of the bag lets you secure the entire backpack to the extendable handle of rolling luggage. Available from 1outlets.hk
For those hauling a lot of tech, this backpack (HK$1,047.56) is a perfect candidate for a business trip, with space for a 15-inch laptop and plenty of organised pockets. Its backpack straps and hip-belt pack away to transform it into a duffel bag. Available from 1outlets.hk
Another great choice for travelling light, this well-organised pack (HK$780) can house a 15-inch laptop that can be charged without it being removed from the bag. The pack has a zip pocket that allows for a laptop power pack to attach to an external power source, all while the device remains inside the bag. Available from distexpress.hk
