    I understand there are a ton of threads about this, but I still can't find one that suits me

    My Laptop (Waiting for shipment)
    I have no idea what the dimensions are, as my laptop hasn't arrived yet. Measurements are not listed on the website. All I know is that the screen is 15.6"

    I am looking for something that is SLIM. I have a jansport bag that I wear to school very similar to this one, those of you who are familiar with these know that they are pretty small in comparison to the bags you see people wearing on campus. I'm only 5'4 I don't want a big bulky bag. These suit me very well because I don't have a lot of textbooks in my program.

    Basically I'm looking for a backpack that has a compartment for my laptop, and room for 1-2 textbooks (about 200-300 pages thick) that's really all I carry to school. Any suggestions? I was considering Slappa until I realized they were huge.

    edit: forgot to mention, my budget is roughly 50-75 before shipping (keep in mind i'm shopping from canada)

    I think I've narrowed it down between these 2
    Incase Compact Backpack
    Incase Campus Backpack
    I like the compact's exterior better, but the campus has a compartment for ipads, which i can use to put my wacom tablet

    Anyone ever use either of these?

    If you check the Tech Specs on the xoticpc page, here they are: 14.84" (w) x 10.04" (d) x 1.06" ~ 1.48" (h). Good luck, have fun, and lemme know whatcha get and for how much, so I can add this to the E14 backpack thread. Thanks ! :p

    It looks really thin. Kinda like all the backpacks I've seen at BB, Walmart, OfficeDepot/Max, Staples, Kmart, Target, Macy's, and ROSS. Especially Ross, lol. The material looks really thin and Jansport-ish. Most likely it's expensive too.
