Your favorite laptop bookbag?

I have a targus. It has plenty of room and lots of pockets. It was only $50, and it is really well padded.

Im a big fan of anything Tumi makes. Pretty stylish and functional, but may be pricey for some people. Cant go wrong with Tumi and their warranty though.

I just bought this one, in addition to the brief I carry.

If your friend just got a 15" powerbook and wanted a laptop bookbag to take the PB everywhere he goes, which one would you recommend?

Right now the brenthaven professional applebackpack is my favorite. What's yours?

I love my Brenthaven. I wouldn't use anything else.

Or if you prefer leather....

Being a student... and being a poor student after purchasing the PB.. if i had the money... i'd get this..

Axio products are hot..

They're pretty much bullet proof.

Ive had the pleasure of totin my 15" PB in this Burton Conceal bag and its perfect. Comfortable padding, more than enough space, and best of all...secures and conceals my PB

I have yet to see a backpack that I like. They all look kinda goofy to me.

Love my Brenthaven backpack - I've had it for almost 2 years, drag it with me everywhere nearly everyday and it still looks like new. Tons of storage and padding. Sure it looks plain but it also doesn't scream, "I have $5,000 of gear in here - steal me!"

nice backpacks

Here are some nice ones

I have the Kensington Apple Logo Saddle Bag, and I love it. It is nice and padded to protect my iBook, and it is roomy to store just about anything I want to put in it. It's very durable and it looks great. I highly recommend it.

I have a Brenthaven Backpack for my 15" PB.
I simply love it!

Brenthaven is soooo ugly. If you're at all style-conscious check out Waterfield Designs. Very expensive but very well made, and they look awesome.

those do look nice.... too bad they dont make any backpacks..... I dont know why, but I just feel like all of these one strap bags and messangers look kinda dorky... prolly just me though. Im looking for a smaller backpack thats not too small and doesnt have a ton of pokets and just looks normal... not like that crumpler sillyness. Maybee I should just buy a sleeve and put it in a regular backpack.

Funny, that's how I feel about backpacks.

In that case I would recommend STM. They also make a great sleeve.

I bought a sleeve from SFbags.com and use a backpack from EMS. Works well for me. Has plenty of pockets and isn't bulky.

even though i don't have an "oxygen8" keyboard controller, i bought the M-Audio laptop bag and it's wonderful. It's got tons of pockets and places for pens, phones, cd's, etc., and you can carry it by the top handle, backpack straps or shoulder strap. It holds a 15" comfortably at the same time as several books (or in my case, full-legal-length files) where the oxygen8 is supposed to go. it's a great one for people who need to carry more than just the computer.

paid about $60- at guitar center, in line with what competing (but far less capable) sleeves/packs cost.

I second. They're all you see in Greenwich Village, NYC. Dead sexy bags.

Are you still in high school? Backpacks in college look truly stupid. In high school though, they'd probably all call you "gay" if you had messenger bag...

But can they take a 5 foot drop
Last year when I attended the WWDC the guy from Brenthaven put his 15" Aluminum in the backpack, closed it, raise his arm straight in front of him and drop the bag on the concrete. He open the back took out the PB, no dent nor scratch, then he open the screen and everything still work.
It used to cost $179+tax now it's only $129+tax. It worth every penny of it.
I have one for my 17" PB, so does my wife for her 15". We love it.

if I had a laptop I would buy 1 of these

and you could still put the case into a bag

want style?

i looked at quite a few bags for my new 15" PB, but i wanted something w/ style (it's the designer in me). this is what i ended up with:

tumi makes great bags & this one looks just beautiful w/ the aluminum PB. the only difference from the photo and the real thing is that the strap is a really slick aluminum color also...
