    Hi !
    I am looking to buy a new backpack for my Apple MacBook Pro 17 inch..I will be carrying it to the University..So i wanted a strong, durable, all-weather backpack which can carry my MBP alongwith some books/stuff..

    How is the Brenthaven Backpack in the Apple Accessories section? is it worth $180??

    I have purchased the backpack and am waiting for my laptop to arrive. I must say the backpack is of great quality. The exterior is a thick, rugged nylon. The compartments are secured with extra large zippers that dont catch on the interior material. The laptop compartment provides impressive protection. All sides are padded with a thick unforgiving foam and the ballistic grade nylon gives it great structural support, it actually stands up by itself. The only thing I can say against this backpack is there is limited room for much else. Personally I find the backpack to meet my needs but if you're looking for tons of storage space in addition to the laptop compartment try another model. I did not pay 180 when I purchased it a couple weeks ago. I think I searched the internet and found one, in stock, for just over 100. It was a steal because it was the only place I found it to be in stock and also the lowest priced. For my needs and my expensive laptop I would not go with another backpack.
