good laptop backpacks

[xanis]

I didn't really see this fitting in any other forum.

I need a new backpack. I bought a Jansport almost 4 years ago, and while it held up fairly well, it's starting to get a little nasty from me sweating on it while biking to/from work and school. I suppose I could hand wash it and clean it up but I don't really like the backpack that much anyhow, so I'm using this as an excuse to get a new one.

I'm looking for a backpack similar in size/appearance to this. Except, you know, not $80. Any brand is fine. Looking for something with decent airflow around the back so I don't have giant sweat stains on my back by the time I get to work or school.

Any suggestions?

I use an Ogio Metro pack, but then again I don't bike with it...

Too many pockets. I know it sounds weird, but I hate backpacks with a ton of pockets/zippers. Generally, I don't need more than the biggest one.

Actually I know what you mean. I carry way too much shit because I have a ridiculous amount of pockets.

Yep, exactly. 99% of the time all I need is my laptop, power supply, mouse, and a notebook. Why carry more than I need?

I have had this bag since 07, it's great all zippers work perfectly still and bag is holding up nicely. I don't see my self buying a new bag for a long long time.

Would that fit a 15" T510?

Do you have a TJ Max in your area? There are a bunch of backpacks that are about $30 to $40 range there. I bought an Ogio for about $20 when they had the redtag sale.
