    Im looking at two targus backpacks:

    Targus XL notebook backpack and the Targus City gear chicago backpack.
    The xl notebook backpack is around $20 cheaper, does anyone have any experiences with these two backpacks? Which one should i get?

    Im a student, and i need the backpack to be able to carry all my books plus my notebook.

    Thanks in advance!

    Did you look at the Targus Flare? That's what I use and it has plenty of room for both my DTR notebook, all the stuff that goes with my DTR notebook, and all my school books as well.

    what about The North face, oakley or OGIO. all these brands make great laptop backpacks and don't scream LAPTOP INSIDE. mind you in all seriousness who the hell is going to steal a laptop that they can't get into?.

    all are well priced and are all easily available in the USA. I own the north face-recon but did some thorough research before purchasing it as i had to get it posted to me without even looking at it. they allowed me the option to send it back if I was unhappy but I love it.

    have a look!
