    Those are both great, backpacks from reliable brands.

    Lot's of peeps like the Targus XL.

    You should also check out the Swiss Gear brand (Pegasus, Ibex) :)

    Amazon.com: PEGASUS from SwissGear by Wenger Computer Backpack holds my Dell XPS 17 with 9 cell AND 15.6 Macbook Pro AND adapters for both - at the same time. And it still has room to spare for other stuffs. The limit is your shoulder and muscles. :). I checked out the Targus XL and the Swiss gear Ibex before buying the Pegasus. The Targus might hold as much (or even more), but the quality is not even close. The swiss gear ibex might work for you, but I had to stretch a bit to fit my bulky XPS with the stick out battery into the padded compartment. I like the look of the ibex more but had to settle on Pegasus because it holds better. Quality is top, and price is very reasonable. Check out the Pegasus
