My son will be studying abroad in France for 5-6 weeks this summer and is looking for a decent backpack with a removable day pack that is large enough to hold a small laptop. He would check the backpack and use the day pack as his carry-on. I don't think he wants a pack with wheels, though. He's pretty low maintenance and plans to travel light. He'll be doing weekend trips, possibly staying in hostels, and he wants something that he can just strap on and go. Any recommendations on specific packs, or do you know of a good website that has great deals on quality packs?

Thanks in advance!
