    Well, I looked through different manufacturers, and well I need help. The prices are a little crazy for me, and I need a bag that is atleast $70 or less, but really looking into the $20-$45 dollar range. The lower the price, the better the buy. I did find some tiny cheap messanger bags, but a little too small. I'm heading to college and need a bag that can house a 15.4", and I'm not looking for a bag that can house any bigger of a laptop, however, I am looking for a bag that could carry some textbooks, calculator, and writing accesories (a college workload). I am also open to backpacks, and if you have something that is absolutely awesome, and is not in my little box area of acceptable, post it, and tell me about it. I'm open to ideas, and very open to your help. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks!

    The Wenger Synergy is a really great backpack that fits most 15" laptops:

    You can read the awesome reviews and get the details on it at the link above. It's got tons of pockets, is very sturdy, and seems to hold up to wear. Feels great to wear too. Only downside is that it's kinda heavy, but all the padding makes it feel fine. It's working well for me.

    I actually ended up picking the Targus Gerney Notebook Backpack at Compusa, I got it for 39.99 and it was big enough, had some space for books, good padding for my laptop, and a good price. Thanks for all your help.
