    Hello all

    Looking for a backpack to fit a laptop I plan on getting, the Asus F3JM. It has a 15.4" screen so it need to fit that.

    Mainly I'm having trouble finding a good classic bag for it. I've searched the net but all I can find are cheap backpacks that look really weird.

    For storage it needs to be able to hold the laptop, with accessories (mouse, cables etc.) and a graphics pad (a 6x8 but I think the whole dimension of it is estimated 14" x 10"), notebook, drawing pad, pens pencils and erasers, cd case, possibly the occasional magazines or reference book. Other features would be nice but not needed (such as mp3, cell phone and water bottle holders etc.)

    The main function would be a bag to hold my laptop and art supplies so I can be fully mobile in my art. It might also be holding some rock climbing gear or the odd hobby equipment, I go shooting so it might be nice to hold the appropriate bag also.

    I would prefer it to be black or dark blue, or a dark brown/black leather so it would fit any situation, that would be my optimum choices.

    As you can see my list is a little odd, which is why I'm having the trouble finding a bag to fit my style and needs. It will be sort of heavy when loaded but I don't something overly large, as to avoid maneuverability.

    If anybody could point me in the right direction that would be great!

    Thanks in advance,
    Delta
