    Right now i currently use a incase 15" nylon sleeve [for mac book pro] but i have my hp laptop in it HAH! lol Anyway back on track... I like the bag don't get me wrong its awesome! but i find myself needing more space than just whats in it. So i'm looking for a backpack to replace it. Some thing stylish i'm not down with those big huge bulky looking sidebags as i find a backpack way gooder ^.^ Thus far i've only seen the Velocity Spyder and the incase DC backpack. Anyone else have any other suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

    What kind of stylish? Italian stylish, Will and Grace stylish, or something else?

    I just recently purchased the Burton White Collection backpack, I love it, the hide-away skate straps even fit my snowboard. It fits everything I need and theres more pockets and compartments than I know what to do with. I'm home on break from college at the moment and in my pack right now (minus my laptop obv. but it fit in there perfectly fine) are 2 five-subject notebooks, 3 folders filled with misc. papers, a graphic calculator, a couple of pens, pencils, highlighters, 4 textbooks, two of which are hardcovered, my AC adapter, a pair of big studio headphones, and some toiletries. I still have the 2 sidepockets empty and a tad more room in the main compartment. The padding for the laptop is more than adequate and has a nice secure hold on it. The back padding makes heavy loads comfortable. The only two things I wished it had are a mesh pocket for a water bottle or other beverage and *maybe* a chest strap.

    Theres actually a very good review on it already here.

    Yeah, it may be a tad expensive, but it's worth every penny, i use it daily, with or without my laptop in it.
