Is it safe to carry a laptop in a backpack?

Backpacks, that are designed for laptops and have a place to put the laptop, mostly yes (they are safe for the laptop). Make sure that the backpack is not too full. If the backpack is too full, then that can cause the laptop to bend and even have the keys of the keyboard to scratch the screen.
