Laptop bags

[brynm 10+ year member]

I picked up a new laptop just before Christmas, now I'm trying to find a bag that'll fit it. It's a 17" widescreen. I was looking into a Timbuk2 messenger type bag but according to their specs my laptop won't fit. I've ran across these backpacks http://shop.heys.ca/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=ePac1701 That I'm leaning towards now.

I'm tossed up between the grey, red or navy blue, what do you guy's think?

Any other options in that price range?

Ive got a cheap targus neoprene sleeve for my 15.4. I put that on it and carry it like that or put it in my backpack. Works good. Ive considered getting a backpack like what your looking at but by the time I load my laptop and books in a regular backpack it must way 40lbs. I usually just end up carrying my laptop around campus by hand in its sleeve and books in backpack. I kinda rambled off topic. My 2 cents.

PS. I'd go grey or blue

I've seen the 15 inch version of this, as well as the 17 inch roller backpack at a local store. They just don't carry this bag. They look well built, I do find it kind of strange that this bag is $80CAD in Canada (about 65USD) and online in the states it's 150USD
