    I'm looking for a good backpack to carry my laptop (14" Lenovo T420) and several university textbooks. I'm was going for something like the SwissGear Synergy backpack. I would get this one, but I'm just wondering if there are any other backpacks like it that don't cost $70.00 (I'm trying to buy from a Canadian site, so it's harder to find lower prices). Does anyone have any recommendations?

    I used to use my Swiss Gear Synergy on my XPS 1530. If you get it, you won't be disappointed.

    You may want to check Dell Canada's site to see if they carry it. I know they carry some models of Swiss Gear in the US.

    Have you considered other brands like Mobile Edge, and Targus? They are very nice also.
