    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a backpack for a z63a laptop.

    Requirements:
    Enough room for a few textbooks or binders
    Well Padded
    Good quality material

    Thanks a lot :)

    Why not trying Tumi bags.

    They are litle expensive but surely worth it.

    Also check out ebags.com like coriolis said. Sumdex also makes good bags.

    I bought my laptop with the "HP STUDENT Bundle." It came with a backpack that I know you can buy seperately from the hpshopping website for about $50. It is stylish since it is directed at the younger adult crowd. I place my X6000 with a 17in screen in it and it fits well. Well padded around the laptop itself and against the user's back. The straps are also quite thick to better distribute the weight. Here is the site...

    Yeah, good idea. Have a backpack that displays a big HP logo on your back. Maybe people will think your just carrying a printer?

    Heres a link that displays all the popular brands and places to find laptop bags. Personally I'd go with getting a quality high-padded sleeve and put it into a good lightweight padded backpack. Then getting a small easy to open lock for your backpack (RoadWired KeyCard travel locks are really cool)

    sleeves can work really well when put into another bag or backpack that you already own. If you really like laptop backpacks though Booq makes some nice heavy duty ones. Again, check out the link above.
