    well i recently got my Sager NP2090, and i plan to take it to school a few times. However my current school backpack isnt exactly the best option for it.

    I've looked at a few backpacks and this one caught my attention (i am in Canada so buying from here would be easy too)

    http://shop.heys.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ePac06

    basically what I'm looking for is something not too attractive, and something that wont catch someones eyes and say "I have a laptop in here!"

    Im pretty set on buying this bag in either black or gray, but before making the final decision i want to see if anyone can give another option or comments on the bag or another bag that might give me more options.

    NOTE: at most my maximum load for a day usually consist of a binder, 3 notebooks, 2 lab manuals (like coil bound notebook but thicker), and a thick book (for english). However on the days i expect to carry this much stuff i probably wont take my laptop to school. My average load is 1 binder, 3 notebooks, 1 lab manual.

    Any comments or suggestions are appreciated! ^^

    Same issue here, finding something that doesn't look lame or crap. I settled on the Targus "Trademark" one and also looked at the Targus "Rogue" backpack which I would have preferred but it wasn't compatible or something like that.

    the targus bags usually have an ability to lock the part where you keep the computer the thing to remembere here is not to put a lock there since that also screams that you have a laptop
