Laptop Backpacks
I'm thinking of buying a new laptop backpack that will hopefully last the rest of my schooling career. Therefore, I am looking for one that will last a while, has good quality back support and a design that will facilitate easy organization. Can anyone suggest any stores I can browse around for good backpacks that fit this description?
Thanks.

I have a great one by Swiss Army that I picked up at Bentley for $79 about a year ago.
It's been durable as fuck and is light yet very comfortable.

The samsonite ones are nice.
the targus ones look odd to me, although I think they've come out with some high fashioned ones lately that look a bit more sleek.
Most luggage lines include laptop carriers, so don't feel limited to shopping at Staples. Check out department stores like the Bay. The Bay has fantastic bag selection!!

I second that!
I have a Swiss Army backpack and it has survived 2 years of heavy, freakin' engineering textbooks, 1 month trip to Europe and various other outings. It's useful, expandable, tons of pockets and still going strong.
Also check out Mountain Equipment Coop. There bags are also really good. I had one that lastest for years. Regular school back packs aren't that expensive there either - just not sure what selection they have for laptop back packs.
In the end, you get what you pay for and it's worth the investment.
