[Super strokey]

This is something that i think too few poeple look at, what is the best back pack for carrying a lappie to school and back

I heard targus is a very reputable notebook backpack company.

I use a sleeve and toss it into a regular bag.

i have THIS ONE from mountain equipment coop. inside has a neoprene lined pocket for laptops. just a simple, basic, backpack. nothing fancy. there's also a larger 3-compartment one, but i like the smaller more slim look of my smaller one.

if you carry a targus, most people will know you are carrying a laptop in there

much cheaper than Targus, protects the laptop fairly well, good quality, and lifetime warranty!

Old school meets new school: easy-carrying storage for books, a laptop, and other academic supplies.

The internal laptop holster stops a couple of inches short of the pack bottom, to keep your computer from slamming on the ground when you set down the pack.

I find that crumpler bags are great for laptops! I've already got two, just picked one up recently. The padding is great in them and there's pockets everywhere you need them. They have a catalog on their website.

NB: Avoid buying in store as crumplers can be very expensive! I normally order it off ebay from a place in Montreal because they're drastically cheapers than in store prices.

How about Timbuk2's? Be aware that only their messenger bags are still made in SF, laptop bags are too complex and are made in..china

[Bordello]

Globo has some really nice Swiss Gear laptop backpacks for $69.99. They've got the features of the Targus ones, but look more stylish, and are cheaper than the ones by Timbuktu.

I suggest HEX, has some nice ones, Jansport also has some, try some brands that futureshop/bestbuy do not carry, so that people don't know you're carrying a laptop.

i say use a sleeve so you can put it in any pack or case.

Best buy has some cool backpacks that fit laptops like a charm

I use a targus messenger bag I picked up from Office Depot last year for $50.

I have a Crumpler too. Great bag, seems bomb proof.

One thing to note, there is a LOT of padding, which is good and bad. Good because it protects your computer. Bad because it makes the bag bulkier. I wouldn't recommend Crumpler bags for smaller people unless you are only toting around a 12 inch notebook.

Swiss Gear.

I've had mine for 2 school years and it's holding strong. By far the toughest backpack i've ever owned. And it comes with a 10 year warranty! Very well built.
