any comment on deuter's Giga II ?

I remembered seeing some Deuters but from exterior look, the fabrics are soft so I didn't bother to check.

but i heard from ppl in lowyat that

Deuter creates the best backpacking bags... ( those who likes to climb mountains or camping and so on )

and that their bag are big and lots of compartment...

Large? Yes certainly they are large.

But requirements for a good laptop bag are different from requirements for good backpacking bag.

You will need to realize that.

And by the way, I don't really believe from what I heard. I believe in what I see.

True. Their branding do carry some weight to an extend. However you should go and see / touch it yourself. Heres a few pointer (what i usually do) when buying a notebook backpack.

1. Look the general design of the back pack and try it to see you're comfortable with it. The design should suits you best as in my humble opinion its really useless if you have to bring 2-3 other bags daily to compensate the backpack lack of space.Please try to avoid the shoulder sling type bag at all cost. Unless you're carrying eepc its ok .

2. Check the stitches at shoulder strap and end of the backpack. Here we'll see a different price have different quality stitches and built. However, take this into consideration. Do you handle your backpack roughly (ie throws it away when at home, just kick it around like 3 yrs old kid when tired) Then you might need a solid steel box If your normal routine would be cramped in lrt or driving as long as the stitches looks sturdy then you're good to go.

2.1. Note the shoulder strap to. If its to thin then its better not to take it. Go for the ones that have some sort of gel-like substance as it is much more comfortable when you have to stand inside train for 45 minutes

3. Notebook padding. This also applies on how do you handle your notebook backpack rule. If you always roughing it its better to take thicker padding (which is kinda waste of space in my opinion). If you have to carry thick textbooks(for students) its suitable to get a thick padding as i scared the weight might do harm on your notebook.

This is a general guidelines for me when it comes to pick a notebook backpack. Just want to shared it with you guys. I'll post what did i haul on everyday basis and on weekend basis (as i am stationed at JB and based at KL )

I have to say it looks NICE. But my notebook size is 16" x 12.5" .... any chance of that fitting in?
The website says max of 15.5" x 10.75"... no more room for a bit of stretching?

I've been looking like FOREVER for a decent notebook bag for my Asus A7J ... SIGH... i am still lugging it around in the original notebook bag and my shoulders are KILLING me...

Anyone seen any nice notebook bag that hold my notebook? Thanks.

Me thinks it'll fit in. The strap to secure the top portion of the notebook padding is made longer on purpose. Since my notebook are 15'4 Inch (old-school square notebook ones) the extra portion i use to secure the power supply adapter and PSP adapter.

Heres what i haul on weekend basis

Hi,

I just bought my Macbook 13". My body size is very small and short. but i like scrumpler backpack as they look good and trendy. The problem is they are too big for me.. any recommend for smaller bag but look as good as crumpler?

Does crumpler carry smaller size laptop backpack for 13"?

Any backpack laptop bag under RM50, perhaps RM30 around KL? I heard Sogo area got one shop selling cheap backpack laptop bag.

those should be no-brand name backpacks... ^__^ happy hunting... u can also lurk around garage sales... as i remembered there r some ppl selling cheap backpacks also.

the super bad thing about cheap laptop backpack is that the strap can koyak easily... some laptops can be quite heavy i would say...

Always double-check on the stitches whether its strong enough to last more than 6 months...
