    I purchased my W3V a while ago and just found that I need to get a backpack for college which will accomodate this laptop, any recommendations, i'd like something that doesn't scream I"M CARRYING MY LAPTOP IN THIS PHATTY BACKPACK, something that looks normal. thanks

    Targus makes some nifty bags that I've used... I've got one from them that looks like a hiking pack, but is really really padded inside for a laptop...... look into them.

    I have a Victorinox (Swiss Army) backpack that has a laptop sleeve. It is exactly the same as another of their backpacks except in has a padded laptop sleeve inside. The quality is excellent, I now own 2 Victorinox backpacks. They are a bit expensive, the laptop one costs $70 and my other was $60, but they will last a long time. A good local store to go to is "Bags and Baggage" which is in many malls in the US.

    Here's what I bought for my W3V... or really, what I bought for school that also conveniently accomodates and protects laptops. It has served me well in all respects so far... the last backpack I had from this place lasted me 10 years.

    MEC Darwin Backpack

    It's a Canadian store, but they offer reasonable shipping to the US - make note the prices are in CAD$. They actually have quite a fair selection of backpacks that would probably fit your bill.
