I just got a great new laptop to replace my boring old Dell Latitude. It's a 15 inch widescreen Toshiba with Centrino Duo etc... Unfortunately, it no longer fits into my beloved Tumi Backpack. I went down to the Tumi store and can't seem to find a backpack that will fit it. Does anyone have any recommendations for another brand/model that would work in a quality/price point equivalent to Tumi? Dimensions are 14.2" x 11" x 2".
Thanks for your help.

Personally, my $90 Targus bp works just fine for me (Inspiron 8600 15.4 inch ---wide). Plus, it looks a lot less like a laptop bag than a lot of the other bags I see.

I've heard good things about booq bags. Never had one myslef, but everyone I ask loves them.
Try the Kensingtong (http://www.kensington.com) website. They have a lot of styles and prices.
The Tom Bihn "Brain Bag" laptop bag. (http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/300/TB0104) Add a "brain cell," sizes custom-made for just about every laptop out there, for the ultimate protection. It looks like (and is) a serious backpack, complete with waist belt - not a fashion statement.

Check out the Victorinox line. I bought a 35 litre laptop backpack a few years ago and it's great.
