I have to carry two laptops for work but don’t want to go the backpack route. Anyone else have to do this and have recs for totes, other solutions for carrying two laptops + other things (makeup, wallet, chargers, water bottle etc) to work?

Totepack (bag that can be worn as backpack or tote) or a roller commuter bag.
Carrying two laptops (unless very light) exclusively via tote sounds like a recipe for back problems.

Lo & Sons does a very sleek backpack tote situation - agree w/ A1 that a backpack will be better long-term for your health.

Love my Lo&sons backpack!!

If you’re trying to carry two laptops, water bottle, makeup, chargers in a tote that’s going to be over 20lbs+ of weight. You’ll ruin your posture and have terrible back and shoulder problems. If it’s a vanity issue of not wanting to be seen with a backpack I’d rather have a backpack than a wonky spine.

I am also not a fan of backpacks but, given the load you are carrying, I’d consider a convertible option. Lo&Sons has a good one. You could also try something with a cross body strap, it helps balance the load a bit. I have one from Troubadour that is lightweight yet very durable and holds a ton.

There is another option that saves your back and shoulders. Which I use (as I carry 3 laptops); however, it’s considered out of style by a wide mile!

A wheeled briefcase 🙂

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!

Though I agree that a backpack may be a better option, you may want to look into a Thacker tote. They can convert into crossbodies. I have both a backpack and large tote from them and love it. Check them out here https://thackernyc.com/collections/totes-1
