try to check at Lowyat Plaza...most of computer shops sell backpack...
Sri Computer got lots of options for backpack...try to check there...

if you not in hurry...better wait for PC FAIR @ 13 - 15th April...
KL Convention Centre...

hey, thanks for the info. oooh... i usually check in All IT and there are more on targus bag.

oooh.. now i know the exact date of PC fair. GOOOOD!! wanan buy printer as well. i wonder brands like samsonite , will it be there during PC fair?

Fat hopes to get samsonite at more than 10% off. No matter where I go, whatever the sale, samsonites retain their high prices.

yeah, u're right. very rarely get discount above 10%
but there's once my fren bought it for 50%. samsonite bags are really expensive. may be i should take a look at Mendoza as well.

50%??? WHERE?? Wow. That's a good bargain.

Mendoza's not bad. Pretty heavy duty. Friend's bag have been trashed about and it's still holding true. Might not look the prettiest though. Haha. But hardy enough.

Try jansport. Studio R having 40% off for one of their laptop specific bags AND it's an airlift series

yeah 50% is really good but that was sometime ago.

Mendoza's quite heavy duty but not sure do they have a decent looking one. because currently i'm using a sling bag and its big.i guess backpack will be easier to carry especially for ladies.

Jansport? hmmm.. can take a look. thanks for the info!

Haha. Mendoza is generally more for guys. The bags don't look very dainty

Some nikes come with a laptop compartment as well. Looks pretty decent too.

But yeah, take a look into Jansports. Looks good enough. And most importantly, the technology.

oooh....
yeah.. Nike bags with compartment looks good too. but the compartment not very proper, compared to others. its like a piece of cloth to divide it as a compartment.

Good good thanks for the info then i must go n have a look at jansport bag.

Do you guys think "Crumpler" is worth the money?

Go check out Studio R and RSH. Some offers on their laptop specific model

Personal oppinion? No. It's just a fancy bag. Looks nice though. If you've the money to burn, yeah, why not. Else, don't bother.

But that's just me

so marquis...what bag are you using for your notebook?
mind to share with us here...or can recommend any good backpack or sling backs?

I'm using a Samsonite for the 17" one. Friends got for me. I'd much rather a Jansport. They can take a lot of abuse. Hahaha

I've my eyes on this lapstation (it's by Jansport). The laptop compartment is at the back. Not in the main compartment like the other laptop specific. Can take in quite a heavy load. Good for those going overseas and have a lot of baggage

I'm using Targus...bought for RM200....the brown color type...model I duno how to check...

can take some photo on it..?
coz i'm considering buy a beg... thanks

Well, if you like the design and like many have said, have the dough. Go for it. Though for the same $$$, I would go for something with technology in play for example:

NIKE 'EPIC'


Weight Management.Hard casing.Futuristic design

OR

OAKLEY 'KITCHEN SINK'


Tons of pockets/compartments for Music player. Side pocket for express Notebook retrieval. Looks whole lotta cool. Massive padding.

Jansport, it's expensive leh.....
the 1 i saw in Royal Sports in KLCC..... cost RM599 leh....

Marquis, as i can see u really like jansport laptop bag. i din get a jansport but just bought a nike cordura (black) today. it looks good so i just bought it and din manage to look for jansport bag because very busy n need a bag.
but hey, thanks for ur info i will definitely let my frenz know especially those who are still looking for bag.

*btw, the nike cordura quite affordable

bought myself a Jansport firewire laptop bag around 1 year ago @ 40% discount from StudioR midvalley(using a cut-out coupon from the star, and i actually bought 2 jansport at 1 go with 2 coupons, the other is a slingbag. got 40% off for both bags), paid around RM210 for it, not exactly the best looking bag, but it's huge, and it's quite durable, suitable for those who travel a lot with lots of stuffs.. haha.. will be passing the bag to my sis cause she's going to UK next month, considering to get myself a deuter giga or gigant or giga office..

is it the deuter which selling at JJ midvalley???

Word of advice: Don't buy Jansports if they're not on sale! Coz the more expensive models usually go for 40 - 60% off. That's a lot of money saved

Haha. Yeah. Supporter of Jansport! Got pic of the cordura? How much was it btw (if you don't mind my asking)?

Hope you like your new bag!
