Suggestions for a 17-inch laptop bag?

[GoldenGoose]

I'm in dire need of a bag which can hold my 17inch macbookpro as well as a few other traveling items (ipod, chargers, books, passport & ticket holder, snacks).
I've heard brooq is a good brand.
My budget is around USD 250 to 300.
Wouldn't mind paying more if it seems worth it.

Any suggestions?

crumpler probably has the best products quality-wise but you'd need to get used to their style. personally, i don't really like them. i have a crumpler bag that would fit a 17' notebook and i like it's lifelong warranty and that it's durable like no bag i have ever had. but as said, their style is not really sophisticated but rather young.

I used to use a Crumpler shoulder 17" laptop bag (orange and green coloured!) but prefer now to put my laptop (surrounded by the Crumpler bag's laptop case) inside my Rimowa (the left in the picture in the post below):

It's been on 100+ flights now and the laptop is still fine.

I came across one brand from an Israeli company last year, can't remember the name. It's guaranteed to stop multiple 7.62s and not scratch your laptop at all That's toughness!

Well I'd definitely buy one of those,

If I stayed in Israel.

I use:

It will fit a 17" laptop if you don't use the extra 17" 'shuttle' laptop case, which is removable and a separate component within the backpack (there's a compartment for it)

You can try laptop bags from Kenneth Cole. I think they are quite stylish. Currently using one of their laptop bags and I love it. They have leather kinds and fabric kinds.

think there is also BREE. They also do quality work on their bags.
