    Hey folks, I was hoping to get some nice suggestions for a backpack or something handy for my laptop! :p

    I'm buying in the UK online, I've searched up Amazon and Froogle'd a bit but I'm looking for your suggestions, as I'm not fully trusting on what I've been linked to "not very legit looking".

    I'm after something that isn't huge or too heavy, yet fine protective material! I haven't got a great back so comfort is a must for carrying it around 4-5+ hours a day! Style is also something I'm wanting, colour preferred black! It needs to be big enough for a 15.4" laptop, a few books & folders and a mouse!

    I had a look at the backpack thread, but most of the links were for US sites! :( any UK sites specializing would be great thanks!

    Hey mate I've got a great bag that you'll love by Targus!! Great quailty too in my opinion, the padding is really good, zippers wouldn't break easy and theres thick foam on the back for a comfort fit and also alot of compartments. I love it so I'm sure you will too!!

    Heres a link: http://www.targus.com/uk/product_details.asp?sku=TCB002EU

    I don't know what yuor budget is but you get what you paid for..

    Enjoy!

    Awesome! Budget is about £50! Would I get anything better for that?

    That backpack looks great! but can It store say half a dozen small books and some folders? Needs to double up for school work and books that I would study!

    Hell yeah! I use it for school too!! I mean the main compartment is enough for the laptop and laptop cooler, I triedout a couple of folders got 2 in there (You do mean like the triangle shaped folders right? lol) and I got a large pencil case in there ad on the second compartment I got 5 A5 sized books in there. Plently ok room on top if you wana store 5x A4 books. I duno about others but loving mine and Targus have unbeatable quality.
