    Hey Everyone! I'm looking for a good laptop backpack for my 14.1 notebook.
    I want to spend <100$

    So far, I haven't been able to find any places locally that offers me many choices. (I see many targus bags but very few reviews)

    Can anyone provide me any suggestions for bags/places to buy a bag? thanks

    Try going to the bay, in Edmonton the bay here has quite a few laptop bags. Not sure about he reviews, but you can get swissgear and heys (not as popular so might not be much to choose from) at the bay.

    take a look at the nice unit in the MEC clearance section. it's regularly $60 on for $40. I'm thinking perhaps of getting one. www.mec.ca

    I've just bought the north face recon backpack and its all I need. check it out. Its also advertised on the internet in America as <$100 I think it said $79 the last time I looked. I also recommend the north face bandwidth!. And if your into something really different have a look at the crumpler series of bags.

    Kube Computers (kubecomputers.com) sells a bunch of different brands of bags, most of which you've probably never heard of but are very high quality. I've never been to the store but came across them after finding out that they sell Crumpler bags, which btw are very good bags but a bit more than $100.

    Try these. http://www.bbpbags.com/

    I ordered 1 from Amazon the other day. Still waiting for it. I liked that it sits low on the back and also converts into a messenger bag.
