    Hello All.

    My 15" backpack, just gave up. I was looking into purchasing a new backpack. This time i am looking for a 17" backpack...as i will be purchasing a new laptop (17") this summer.

    I am a college student, hence i do end up carrying some binders and text books. Therefore the backpack has to be strong, which will not give away on heavy weights...as well as heavy traveling. I am not a careful and orderly guy, hence i need a backpack which can withstand some abuse :p

    I was looking at High Sierra and Targus, but i am not sure how long are they and do they really look ugly on campus?

    Is a new backpack coming up soon, that would be definitely worth the wait?

    So hit it!

    cheers

    What price range are you looking at? How many books do you carry at a time?
