[Want]17.3" Laptop backpack recommendations

[ThUnda]

Been browsing amazon looking for a bag for my new 17.3" widescreen laptop coming in a week. I can't seem to find any that don't have complaints about zippers breaking or lack of adequate padding in the laptop sleeve.

I'm looking for a Backpack, anyone had a good experience with the bag they've used? What do you use? etc...

Crumpler (if you're not poor), I own 3.

Dreadful Embarrassment

C List Celebrity (L)

King Single

*edit* I should note, as far as backpacks go, the C-List Celebrity is more like a hiking backpack than a 17" laptop backpack. Its quite large, I will get some pics for comparison in a bit.

I've been using the Targus TXL617 17 XL Notebook Backpack since 2010 for my monster of a laptop and have been happy with it. Comfortable, durable, zero nylon ripping as of yet. Tons of compartments for everything.

I think I saw Target had them.

The three bags, plus a 17" Macbook Pro for size comparison.

this thread is relevant to my interest. I build my own metal suitcase/laptop case. Just cut my own foam.

whoever pays 350 for a backpack is a fucking idiot

Don't hate because you're poor.

I currently use an Osprey Momentum 34. It holds my laptop very well. I don't have a 17 inch, though. It may fit.

I can't say enough good things about Osprey products. Bullet-proof, lifetime guarantee, free replacement of small parts, etc.

laptop bags are for nerds

any decent backpack will hold your laptop and that should be enough unless you are hiking up a mountain or something

Brain Bag - Backpacks - TOM BIHN

I use this one to hold two 17.3" laptops with no problems. Well worth the $200. Lots of accessories to further secure your laptop if needed too.
