I'd like to bag everything in one bag, if possible. Most of the messenger bags I've seen are big enough for the computer, but not a couple text books. Anyone come across a roomy bag?

I use a timbuk2 medium messenger bag with a sumdex impactguard sleeve, and there is room for my computer and a good amount of stuff. Timbuk2 sells a version with the sleeve built in, but you can't customize the bag (the handle is not something I could do without, and I like cordura more than the other material). I also didn't want to sacrifice space when I don't have my computer.
I just stuck two 1300 page books, an 800 pager, a lab manual, and a smaller 300 review book in there with my computer. I'd never be able to lift it, but it fit in the bag
. The bag folds when it's not so full, though.

I have this Trager bag (the Courier). Plenty of room for a mid-large laptop (at least up to 15" widescreen), and there should be room enough for 2 textbooks. Includes a belt to put the weight of the bag on your waist and not your shoulder, and a padded handle.

Crumpler makes some nice bags too- their "Considerable Embarrassment" holds a 12-14" laptop (not sure if it will hold a 14" widescreen though) and a nice amount of books- and the bag itself is only 28 ounces. It has a padded sleeve, adequate as long as you are reasonably careful with your unit.

If you have check my sticky thread. Lots of manufacturers http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=50734
Chrome makes excellent messenger bags and also has some more laptop bags ( not messenger style but could be slung) that are quite roomy. Also "Part and Parcel" from crumpler may work.
Tom Bihn has some excellent bags and a unique sleeve system. From the reviews I read these are excellent bags.
Hope that helps

Any messenger bags that hold a couple texts and the computer?
