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?
