My old Dell backpack is developing a huge hole on it so I'm in the market for a new backpack. I've started looking into the whole checkpoint friendly backpack, and after a brief search of this forum, I've realized that pretty much all the reviews are from 1+ years ago and/or on ridiculously expensive backpacks.

Does anyone have any current recommendations on an affordable, decent looking checkpoint friendly backpack? As a student, I'm not looking to break the bank or anything. The two I've found so far are the Wenger Legacy and the Targus Zip-Thru Air Traveler. Any thoughts on those or others at that similar price point (<$50)?
