Anyone have recommendations for laptop-carrying backpacks?

jeebus · 08-19-2004, 05:39 AM

Boss just told me that he wants me to bring my laptop on this trip I'm going on next week, and the laptop bag I have isn't big enough to carry much more than the computer. So I want to find a laptop backpack for carrying on the plane.

The only requirements are that it be available from a local retailer, since I won't have time to have one shipped here before I leave, and that it has enough room for other stuff in it. Around here are Best Buy, Circuit City, CompUSA, Office Depot, Target, Walmart, and a few other mainstream stores.

TIA for any help.

This bad boy is sweet, compact, built like a tank, and a bit more professional looking than a true backpack. It looks more like a briefcase, but has hidden backpack straps.

Not sure if this link will work or not:[list][*]<a href="http://www.patagonia.com/za/PDC?OPTION=PRODUCT&merchant_rn=7385&cgrfnb r=366163&sku=48092&ws=false&promo_cat= &promo_cat_id=">http://www.patagonia.com/za/PDC?OPTI...;cgrfnbr=36616
