    Hi people. I'm looking to buy a backpack for my 17'' notebook. I've been looking around and I reached a conclusion that it's very difficult to find backpacks for this notebook size. Can someone please suggest a good one or recommend where I can look? Thanks,

    Bill

    They all have 17in backpacks. My personal favorite is booqbags.com but they are a bit more expensive, but its worth it. There is the Mobile Edge Premium XL backpack, which you can find on Amazon.

    I ended up going with the Powersleeve XXL from booqbags.com because my 17in weighted my backpack down too much. It is easier to carry a messenger bag and a regular size backpack instead of something so bulky.

    if you don't mind spending money for a high quality bag (like $100+) then check out Tom Bihn bags: http://www.tombihn.com . Fun company, fun styles, high quality. But $$$.
