    well, it depends on how much you want to spend. i have heard good things about the kensington contour backpack for the 40-50 range. for something more expensive, the tom bihn brain bag is an option.

    I've owned the Targus 15.4" Matrix Notebook Backpack for over 2 years now, and it's been great. It's very comfertable. I've worn it numerous times for several mile walks, and it never feels like it's weighing me down.

    It also has ALOT of space. A few times I had 1 15" laptop and 2 14" ones in there at the same time, with enough space left to pack 3 one inch thick books.

    It's very durable too, since I said I've had it for 2 years, and it still looks brand new. There's alot of things that have happened to this backpack, that I thought would have broken my laptop, but it's kept it safe. Such as, one time I figured I'd cut some time by riding a skateboard down a steep hill, in the rain, and I slipped and fell backwards going about 20+mph onto that backpack with 2 laptops in it! I was worried as hell, but once I got to a dry place I checked em out, and they were in perfect condition, infact so is the backpack! I do however recommend that no one ever ride in the rain with a laptop, I don't know what the hell I was thinking!

    So, I'd prefer this backpack over anything!

    I have ruled Tom Bihn out, because i am 13 and only 5', and the brain bag would probably be huge on me, and i do not really like the looks of the smart alec, maybe i could try their sling bag.
