Hey, guys. I've been looking for a good backpack for my notebook so I can tote it between work and home. However, I've yet to find one that can carry books as well as my notebook. I've got two books I carry to and from work (math textbooks) along with a Toshiba A135-S4487 (15.4"). Can anyone recommend a good backpack that will suit my needs? Thanks in advance.

we're just discussing backpacks. -
you might want to chech targus or techair websites. I know a targus model xl which is made for 17 laptops and is really big. I use a targus for 15 laptops and it is fine for books and some sports equipment.

I use a Case Logic backpack for university with my 15'4 LG S1. I can easily fit 4-5 books (2 text books, 2-3 notebooks) in along with my system and power supply, mainly because they go in different compartments. Id recommend it -
I'll second the Targus XL. I have it for a 15.4" laptop and it's great for carrying everthing I need. It hold all my books for the day, plus computer gear(cooling pad, ac adapter, spare battery) and many other miscilanious items.

Tom Bihn Super Ego with a Horizontal Brain Cell to hold the laptop inside the bag or carry on those fast getaway trips...money well spent if you want a bag that will last for years and years.
If you are on a budget then Targus makes some wonderful and durable bags as does Eastpak. I have an old Eastpak laptop bag I used for almost 6 years now...but it's worn out and won;t hold my new 17" system...hence the new Tom Bihn goodies!!It's just a matter of finding the bag with enough room for the amount of things you want to carry...but remember a big bag usually mens you WILL fill it up with anything you can think of on the off-chance you might need to sometime in the future even if you have never needed it before...trust me on that...hehehehe...I am BAAAAD that way and have to be aware when I am packing my bag.

Thanks guys. Can I assume that all these recs are waterproof? I live in Florida and I'd hate to have to run through the rain and ruin my laptop.
-
the stuff from Tom Bihn is made in Seattle, WA and folks up there do know a thing or two about rain...they make a point of using those really good waterproof zippers and also have a spray they sell to make sure the bag stays waterproof as time goes on.
Laptop backpack that carries books.
