Can Anyone Recommend a Good Laptop Backpack?

[BlamoHammer]

I just picked up an HP zt3000 laptop and I want a good way to carry it around campus with me without carrying a million different bags. The only oddity is that it has a widescreen display so not all cases will work with it. The laptop is about 14" wide so its not waaay out of proportion but I've heard that others have had issues with some cases.

In any case does anyone have a recommendation for a good backpack? I want it to be one in which I can carry my books and the laptop at the same time without much trouble. Thanks in advance.

i can put in 2 good sized textbooks and two 1 inch binders along w/ a 15inch, 7 pound laptop.

it's tough, comes w/ a lifetime warranty, and after 1 year of having it, it still looks like new.

it has a lot of pockets and stuff here and there inside/out.

i do suggest getting this to go along with the backpack. It's just a very basic, thin case to cover your laptop in.

I bought the backpack for $50 at my school's bookstore when they had a sale. The small case was $15 at office depot or staples b&m..forgot which..i just when inside, saw it, bought it...

Nice, thanks! Damn widescreen, that sleeve isn't quite wide enough for mine.

heh..i suggest going to frys or something first and test the backpack or similar to see if your widescreen fits.

I never use the strap inside though..it barely fitsm but i thought it gets in the way more than it does protect
