    I had my laptop for a year already, and I've decided on getting a laptop messenger bag for notes in class and club meetings. I need a messenger that can hold my laptop, ac adapter, mouse, one binder, a few pencils, and maybe some extra stuff.

    So far I only looked at a few, and I can't decide between these two. The Jansport one seems pretty big, and the other one seems okay.

    Jansport Firefly - $37.00 at college bookstore.

    By the way, the most I can spend is like $50.00.

    This is what I use and highly reccomend. Its about $2.99 over your limit, but goes on sale frequently. It has spots for 2 laptops, either 15" or 17" (has a removable divider) and a zippered "briefcase"-style compartment on the front.

    For that messenger, does it have a sling on it, so I can carry it on my shoulders...
    Cause I can't tell from the images and the specs. Or maybe my eyes are bad.

    Wow, that is so impressive, thanks... I'll try to see if I can buy that with the money in my 11th grade wallet. No allowance FTW.

    I hear ya. Best Buy's sales run Sunday through Sat and I'm not totally sure what time they change the website in the morning, but you may get lucky and find it on sale. I got mine for $29 on sale.
