    Hi,
    I am looking for a notebook backpack for a 14.1" z61t thinkpad.

    Wants:

    Made for a 14.1 screen- I want a secure fit, with little movement
    Good build quality
    Typical North Face-style outdoor backpack appearance. I dont want it to scream computer inside
    Approx $100 or less
    Mid size bag- enough for 14.1 notebook and few smaller accessories.

    I have seen wenger swiss gear bags that might work, but not in the screen size I am looking for. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Tom Bihn makes very good notebook backpacks. You might want to check them out.

    From what I can tell, the Bihns use the same size for 14.1" tp's regardless if they are widescreen or 4:3- guess there is just a little extra room in width depth respectively?

    I've seen one other brand with two different T 14" sizes, but otherwise the bihns look unmatched in quality.

    There are tons..Wenger, case logic, samsonite all make really nice bags..you really have to try it out.. I would recommend getting for 15" and using a neoprene sleeve.
