hey guys, any thing to recommend for a 15.4? im using a compaq presariox1000 btw (if that info helps). my budget if possible, is under 200. need a backpack that can support a bloody 3kg lappie. and i don't like using the supplied bag. screaming to the whole world that i have a laptop. making one self a target is never a good idea.

anyone?

oh btw keropok (its shinigami now isn't it? tongue.gif) can urs fit a 15.4? but ur still a bit over my budget la..

ideas anyone? internal padding for the laptop is a must biggrin.gif

thanks ppl! notworthy.gif

edit: additional info. i need a bag that is kinda big. to put a text book and some notes inside. and i'm quite tall and big. so i cannot use a small bag. else i wld look beyond stupid. btw, anyone knows where i can get a lapstation here? its by jansport. oh and one more thing. anyone knows a bag that uses the same technology as the airlift of the jansport? thanks ppl! biggrin.gif

heh then join the urban equip club la laugh.gif it costs roughly around 150. Skylinestar has posted the picture. really spacious inside. i tought that airlift tech is patented by jansport.

My urban equip backpack has been a very working fine for the past 3 years. Now the gel-like substance (at the shoulder) already gone (most of it) so its time to get a new backpack. Shops around and found this mammoth.

Since my height and the size of my body, most of the bags will make me look an adult wearing a kid backpack laugh.gif .So i have to get a nice huge backpack for me. It retails at RM225 @ Tear proof shop BTS and loving it ever since (really spacious inside)

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...

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 laugh.gif .

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 laugh.gif 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 sweat.gif

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... sad.gif

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

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.
