Lifer
I use an earlier version of this. L.L. Bean backpack
It's cheaper than your stated price range, but it works great for travel. It fits well, is comfortable with moderate loads, and has a good array of pockets to keep smaller stuff organized, rather than having it all bunch up in the bottom of the main compartment. Beyond using it for carrying my laptop and work stuff around I use it for day hikes as well. So far (1.5 years) of use every day it's been a very good back and still looks brand new.
