Toshiba Laptop Backpacks: 16" Laptop Briefcase (Black/Blue) $17.50, 16" Extreme Laptop Backpack (Black/Blue or Black) $25 + Free Shipping

Still bought it anyway even though it was $22 this morning, younger brother needs a book bag and a laptop bag so two birds with one stone. Was going to buy him the swiss gear stuff, but eh good enough.

was this the same backpack that was $21.99 two weeks ago?

I bought this backpack last week and like the quality. It does fit my 17" Dell laptop in the center pocket. It will fit in the laptop pocket but it is a VERY tight squeeze and the center is fine for me.

why is this FP? is this bag really this good?

i bought one of those red Swiss Wenger bags last year for $31 on some FP. those are much much better

i bought both the extreme and extreme plus backpacks and they were at the same price. I definitely like the extreme plus more. The Plus is much more roomy with 2 handles and seems sturdier. If you want a roomier bag, wait around for the extreme plus.

I bought this last week and got it in yesterday. I haven't gotten a chance to use it, but to me the quality looks up to par with my Swissgear backpack.

I got this for 21 or 22, awesome bag, edited, i got the bigger one, this one seems smaller. i love it

Gee, I have no way to pay thru Paypal... Weird.

I got the Targus for $5 when its on sale at Frys or BB. It is not heavily padded as I dont like to carry paddings on top my things that I want to carry.

These bags are Swiss Gear knockoffs. I have both.I bought four of the extreme plus bags last week for 22 bucks each. They are identical in looks/pockets. The difference is the zipper latches and the handle that is braded on. The Swiss gear has two brads and the Toshiba bag has one. But for 22 bucks and if they last a year of heavy use, they are a steal.

Edit to add

These bags are the smaller ones without the braded handle. (metal cable ).

LOTS of manufacturers make 15.6 inch which is closer to 16 than 15 and accounting for slight variations of bezel and housing mean that a 16 inch laptop bag should work for all if not most of them.

Quote from armiger9 : Has anyone tried squeezing a larger, 17" laptop in this bag?

This is THE best back pack I've ever owner, and I've owned a lot, from Booq on down. The insert is really good for taking some discs with you and easy access to them by just pulling the insert out. I've had it for 4 years and it's still like new, and I carry about 15lbs worth of crap in it, from my 8 pound laptop and power cord, my ipad and power cord, my Asus Infinifty with dock and power cord, nintendo ds, ps3 controller for playing mame, and hdmi cables and so on.

If you can find it, get this [newegg.com]!

it also fits my mac book pro 17 quite sweetily in the laptop compartment too, although the ends does peek up at the top. it is not a tight fit since macbook pros are slimmer.

How can you say those are much better without trying this one?!
