Hey Guys,

I will be receiving my first MAC at the end of the month for a nice graduation present, for college.(2.0 GhZ 2.0 GB RaM and 120 GB HD Black) Pretty excited.
I will be going to a major university next year and I am in the market for a nice backpack to carry all of my essentials.(Books, Notebook, Music, and all that other stuff). I am looking for a nice backpack <$100 Usd. I have looked around and found a couple of packs. Tell me which one you like and why and give me suggestions. Thanks

That looks good, but is it waterproof ?

Msamuelson34, it seems like your options offer fairly similar features and accessibility. So, on looks and sleekness, I prefer the gravis or burton, but the camouflage has the edge!

I just got the Surge from North Face at Ebags and am very happy with it.

I hear that a backpack is better for your back than a shoulder strap bag

No doubt, equal weight distribution is better skye. I carry mine around in a briefcase looking thing, so I guess that I'm doing myself no favors.
