need notebook backpack for college!

Hi could anyone suggest to me a notebook backpack thats really good(has to last 3 years) and protects the notebook from rain and shocks etc... Thats not to bad to look at as well Thanks guys

 

I have 2 backpacks:
- Tagus Notebook Backpack
- Kensington Contour Backpack

I like the Kensington Contour Backpack because it is very high quality in its manufacturing, the Targus gave me some tearing on the shoulder straps within a few week of use. The Kensington wont have a problem like that because its straps are not separate (sewn on) to the backpack, rather they are a part of the main body of the material of the backpack. I also opted for the Kensington backpack with the lumber-brace option... its freakin awesome for your back. Its a hidden compartment on the back of the backpack that hides an adjustable lumber brace, its very well made. The lower back support is definitely a plus for carrying the notebook and school materials around.

Other than that, its got many compartments for all of your school and notebook accessories.

I think you should be able to check it out in stores like Circuit City, a friend just bought one there for $25-30... I bought my on Provantage.com for about $40.

Hope this helps,

I have a Kensington Contour and I'm sure it can last forever not only 3 years and it has a lifetime waranty.

 

You can't go wrong with anything from Targus. My first Targus bag lasted 3 years until the zipper started to break and needed replacement (zippers are usually the first thing to go on a bag)... instead of fixing the zipper I opted for a new one. I recently bought my second one and it's great. The pouch for the laptop is nice and snug, and the bag is real rugged. Not to menion they look awesome (I personally think Targus bags are the top when it comes to aesthetics).

 

Swiss Gear Synergy. I'm selling a brand new one. Let me know if you're interested.

 

Swiss gear is definitely a good company..how much are you selling it for

 

Make an offer. Pictures upon request. Still in plastic wrapping and has tags. Never used. Newegg has it for $66 shipped to give you an idea. Already in box ready to ship. I ship fast. eBay feedback - phungy5.

 

if you don't go with the swiss gear......might I suggest the Targus XL.........It does the job for me and then some.

 

I put my nc8430 in a Sumdex Impactguard Sleeve and then put the sleeve in my Northface Sweeper Backpack... it fits perfectly with room left for books and such. I noticed many Northface backpacks are very roomy and comfortable.

 

Several forum members have posted their good impressions of SFBags. They may have a bag precisely for your notebook model.
