    Hey guys, I hear all about people buying a backpack to carry their 17" around, but no one mentions anything such as carrying a book or two for the class you're going to?

    Is this possible? I just wanted to make sure I could carry my notebook+ 2-3 things for class that I may need.

    Check the Targus TXL at amazon.com:
    http://www.amazon.com/Targus-TXL617...cp_ob_e_title_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1244309877&sr=8-1

    Roomy and it should work!

    Also, the Swiss Gear Pegasus would work:

    Hope that helps!

    Cin ;) :)

    I considered this one when I recently bought a new bag. Looks like it has enough room for what you are talking about: Backpack

    Not many bags will ;)

    They do have one that'll probably fit it with dimensions of: 16.5"x12"x1.8", but its pricey and not as nice a design imo. LINK. I used one of their backpacks to lug around a Sager D900t for years, and it served me well. Whatever bag you end up getting you'll need some support lugging all that weight around. :)

    It's been a few days, and you've received several responses...have you had a chance to look at any?

    You may even want to check out www.ebags.com...they have a great assortment of backpacks, and at some reasonable pricing! :)
