Case Logic 16" Laptop Backpack, Black

I bought this bag for my daughter who is a Freshman in college. She needed something to carry her heavy HP laptop that would not "weigh" her down. This bag is great! It evenly distributes the weight. I particularly like the way it sits up comfortably on her shoulders without sagging or looking like she's being pulled down from the back. Also, I like the strap adjustments. Once you have adjusted the straps you can easy tuck away the excess strap adjusters (just roll them up and tuck them away in a neat ball). The only thing is if you are putting a laptop in this bag do not overload it with thick college books. It may take a couple of books and a couple of notebooks. Otherwise, your comfort level will decrease if you overload it. I would highly recommend this Case Logic laptop backpack.

This is a very functional and roomy backpack. It has a number of pockets to store all the small things and space for all the other things plus a laptop. Being waterproof makes it great for any weather. Most pockets are padded which makes them perfect for electronics (ipod, phone etc.) or small items like glasses. The design spreads the weight across shoulders and back to minimize the pressure. This is much better than a messenger style shoulder brief, but it is also useful for casual use as well. The only thing that would have been nice is a strap across the chest or waist for biking or hiking.
