I have a Jansport laptop backpack that does not look like a laptop back, with the laptop compartment closest to the body.
Like these:

It has lots of space and feels secure.
But it does get heavy, and it only has straps on the shoulders, not on the waist.

I also have a rolling backpack which can be used for a laptop, but it is not so good, older design, the laptop case in it takes a lot of space.

But I would advise you to look into a good bag that has wheels too, as it is easier on long travels and you can still use it as backpack.

When choosing a backpack look for the following:

Shoulder straps that is wide and padded. If the straps are narrow, they can dig into the shoulder area, which will not only create more pain but can also restrict blood circulation.
Backpacks that distribute the weight better with two shoulder straps as opposed to one that goes over the middle of the body.
The back of the pack should be padded. This helps protect the child from sharp objects that may protrude from inside the backpack.
A waist strap is beneficial in helping to distribute the weight properly. When the child uses a waist strap the heaviness of the backpack they are easing the strain that is placed upon their back.
The backpack itself should be made of lightweight material. The kids put enough inside that you do not need to add to the weight by having the backpack itself cumbersome and heavy.
You may want to consider a rolling backpack for students who either walk a ways to school or traverse stairs.

To help prevent injury while using the backpack, parents can teach their children the following tips:

Remind them always to use both shoulder straps. Although they will probably glare at you and tell you they will not look cool – remind them you are the parent – in the end, they will thank you.
Show them how to tighten the straps so that the backpack sits close to the body. This helps distribute the weight evenly. The backpack should be two inches above the waistline

Consider a backpack that has rollers on the bottom. Then you won't have to carry it. I saw some of these recently in a department store.
