    I've recently purchased a new 17" laptop, but it doesn't fit into my current backpack. So rather than replace the backpack, I'm looking for a shoulder bag that I can carry with it, but I don't know how these brands/designs compare to each other. Also when people talk about being able to pack in all their computer supplies, what do they mean? I see myself carrying an AC adaptor and I know other people might carry a mouse, but do some bags not include the space required to carry these or are their other accessories that I haven't encountered yet? I don't care about fashion so much, but I'd like to keep the price below $100, while still offering decent protection for the laptop. Also are there some stores/brands that I should stay away from for any reason?

    What ever help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
