    I got a HP dv9644ca and I am wondering what would be best. A backpack style or a shoulder one? I will be carrying it around from class to class in school. I think that a shoulder one would be easiest but a backpack would have the most support. What do you guys think?

    Thanks

    well I am in high school now (grade 12) and I usually just carry the books in hand. And since I got a spare everyday i rarely ever have to take homework home. Not sure how it will be in college. Trying to get a diploma in Computer Information systems, so not really sure how many books I need for that.

    Thanks

    well me personally i would like a shoulder case just cause if it did get hectic in college i could throw all my books in a backpack and just use the side bag. it your decision though, im in 11th grade and i love using the side bag even just for the heck of it, i wouldnt want to carry a huge backpack everywhere.

    I personally would go with a backpack. I used a shoulder case before but the side of the shoulders that I used would start to sore up. So I use a backpack now.

    For me, lugging something heavy(17" notebook) should be served well using backpack. Shoulder case/messenger bag makes me get tired soon.
