Wenger Maxxum Computer Backpack Questions

Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone had the backpack mentioned in the title. I am starting grad school in the fall, and I anticipate having to bring my laptop to school much for for programming. Normally, I would bring my backpack with my school stuff and a messenger bag for my laptop. I would like to get an all in one solution and I like the Wenger backpack.

My questions are:

1) Does anyone have this, and if so, do they like it?
2) What is a reasonable price for it? It seems to float around $50 from reputable retailers. Has anyone seen in cheaper?

Thanks in advance!

 

yeah i bought it at circuitcity for my sister. and let me tell you that it goes good with a 15.4 notebook. it was pretty snug. so if you have a larger notebook that might be a problem. but it does have allot of pockets, and can fit a few more books. seems comfortable too. id say its worth the price. the cheapest i found was 49.99 but it does not matter, its just a penny.

on the other hand i would like to recommend the mobile edge securepack. it usually sells for 80 but newegg has them for around 50. the only problem is that there really is not enough room for books. maybe one or two.

 

I saw the mobile edge one. The lack of book space may be a deal killer on that one, but I do appreciate the info! Thanks.

 

I found it way to snug for my 15.4 T61 when I tried at best buy. I had a hard time getting it in and the zipper would almost clip the corner of my notebook.

 

Thanks for the info. That is a good idea to try it out first too. I read online someone got there Inspiron 6000 to fit fine, but I rather it be a little more roomy for future notebooks.
