Good Backpack?

Hi guys, I'm getting an NP5793 in a couple of months (it's a 17 inch laptop) and I'm going to buy it for college, so I may also be replacing my trusty ol' backpack that's lasted me through high school but is looking a little worn.

What kind of backpack do you guys think I should get? Price probably won't be too big of an issue, but I don't want to spend like $200 on a backpack

Also, should I get one of those "sleeve" type of things?

Please include stores to buy from and reputations of stores or whatever.

Thanks

 

Mountain Hardware has the best laptop backpacks i've seen excellent quality, large selection for 17", lots of color choices. http://www.mountainhardwear.com/Subcategory.aspx?viewAll=false&top=1246&cat=1272&viewAll=false

 

Thanks dude, they look pretty good

 

well i used to have a Vostro 1700 which is built like a tank and I used the Swiss Gear Wenger Pegasus bag and it is a great backpack. But I sold my Vostro 1700 to my dad last month when I got my new XPS m1530 so I picked up the Swiss Gear Wenger Sphinx to carry that around and now I am selling the Pegasus.

posted a thread in the BST forums here. Let me know if you are interested!

 

Ah, thanks, but unfortunately I'm a bit wary of PayPal and don't have an account yet

 

no problem. I would still recommend this backpack. I've seen them at the local circuit city and best buy has a few of the 15.4" backpacks here. You should go have a look if you want to get first hand experience with them. It was like love at first sight for me!

Good Luck!

 

How about a Pakuma?

They have got a cocoon padded pocket to put your laptop in. The inside of the bags are light grey making it easy to find stuff quickly.

I got one because it does look like a back pack more than a laptop bag. (Akara K1)

 

Seeing as Im looking for similiar one... I guess Ill just barge in

What kind of laptop messenger bag/backpack would you recommend for up to 40 £?

 

How about Crumpler for you? www.crumplerbags.com
They are really good + have a 99 yr warranty! I have the "Bucktaker".

 

I have a Sager NP5791 which the same thing as the 5793 minus the 8800m. I lug it around a Targus Flare which fits it like a glove, has plenty of space leftover for all my other crap, and has orange trim that matches the 5791 perfectly. I love it.

 

I say spend the 200$ and get this

If you have it for 5+ years is it really that expensive?

I'm getting one for my 5793
