Question : Which Laptop Backpack is the best?

[Chu]

Hello all. I just got my first laptop, and I'm looking for a nice laptop backpack to go with it. Almost everyone reccomends the Targus Deluxe Sports backpack, and I don't mind the $70 price -- but I have a problem.

I need a backpack to carry, well, books too. From the review of the targus backpack, it looks like it holds a ton of stuff, but very few actuial books. Anyone out there know a good laptop backpack that can haul around a ton of books as well as the laptop?

Thanks in advance,

-Chu

BTW, my definition of "a ton" is about 5-6 inches thick of college textbooks/notebooks.

I like the Kensington Saddlebag, which is a hybrid backpack/over the shoulder bag. Has a lot of room.

I also like this Jansport backpack I saw but don't recall the model name.

I'm going to go with a Timbuk2 Bike Messenger bag (need one; I bike to work and school) with a laptop insert.
