Looking for a laptop backpack. Laptop isn't too big, only 14". Anyone have any recommended brands/laptop backpacks that you have used? Would be appreciated.

I was looking at the RBF-540L by Rosewill on Newegg, which was on sale for like $30 or something, but waited too late and is now discontinued. Rosewill told me another shipment will be going to Newegg by the end of April, so I may just use my old backpack and wait if I don't find any other good ones that look better than the Rosewill.

Thanks.

Check out SwissGear by Wenger laptop backpacks.  I've got a few and they are well built and fit well.  You'll hardly notice that you have them on.

This one is my work horse.  I carry two laptops in this one.

3 of my friends have backpacks from SwissGear. With a 14" laptop you may have to stuff some foam/other padding in the bottom of the laptop compartment...it's quite large.

Mine is apparently by JanSport. I'd recommend it. It fits my 13.5% perfectly, could happily fit 14% I imagine. When I bought it they had a few different sizes, for for different sized laptops.

I chose a relatively small one. I can fit my laptop and a few books/pads of paper, a bottle of water, my bike lock and maybe some food. But that's about it.

I just bought it from a local computer shop. Serves well as a general all purpose backpack. I use it daily. I even use it for skiing where rather than putting a laptop in the laptop compartment I put a camel back (or whatever you'd care to call them - a water container with a hose, for drinking).

Dunno if they have that brand in the US but mine was only £15 and has lasted very well.

If I were you I'd go look in store. Take you laptop with you and see which ones it fits in.

It's easily the best backpack I've ever owned. Use it for everything. Just books, books + laptop (15" MacBook Pro), going home from college for the weekend, trips up to Albany/DC, etc. It's very comfortable.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll have a look around and see which one I like best.
