Macbook Backpacks

[Shannonb]

I just got my 2.0 core 2 duo, 120gb, 1gb black macbook and I'm looking for a backpack.

It does not need to necessarily be a backpack but I want it to hae some type of shoulder sling so I don't have to constantly be using a hand to carry and it needs to be able to carry books as I will be entering college next year.

With so many people on this site I figure some one probably has a good recommendation. Here is the tricky part, I don't want to spend more than 40 and at the most 50.

Gracias

best site with most amount of reviews.

if youd like a bigger bag, i can suggest the OGIO bags, very well made. i had one and sold it (only cause my mbp barely fit, my mb fit wonderfully) im planning on buying another to replace a targus POS from newegg.

my girlfriend has this:

and its a very nice bag, perfect for the mb. although its 70$, coupons are all over online.

just check out ebags, they have plenty

why don't you buy a sleeve and use it in your normal backpack? I have the Incase sleeve and it's great.

The backpack I have now is pretty beat up and I was going to get a new one anyway.

Thanks, that helps a lot. More suggestions on deals are welcome.

I originally bought the InCase sleeve from apple.com for $49.95. It was nice but didn't hold enough for me. So 2 weeks ago I went and bought the Mamba S from Booqbags.com. It's on closeout for $54.98 and I think it's a great looking/functioning bag.

I also used the coupon code "SPUNGLE" for 10% off.

I got the Surge from North Face and think that it is great.

as far as not spending too much cash on a backpack goes, I picked up this one at Office Depot for about $30, and it works just fine for me. Even with my foam sleeve, there's more than enough room for my macbook in the laptop compartment.

I have The North Face - Recon backpack. not too sure if this model is still available but I've had it for approx a year and apart from looking dirty it's still in good condition and I use it daily.

I just purchased a BURTON day hiker pack on clearance at Sun n Ski for $34.95 great snowboard pack and has a laptop sleeve not really padded, so i went ahead and purchased the 13" MacBook canvas sleeve. You can use the backpack and sleever together for added protection or just use the sleeve with the soft fur lining and external compartment.
