I have a Lenovo W530 which is hard to find cases that'll fit it while cases for Mac Book Pros are all over the place.

I have several Timbuk2 messengers and backpacks which I like a lot, the quality is good and price tends to be between $100-150. I'd say most of their bags are casual which work fine in most professional settings also. Tumi on the other hand has a lot of nice bags, probably can't find many for under $200 and most are probably over $300 but tend to be very professional and won't look out of place in any boardroom. The STM bag you linked is generally considered a solid bag with a good reputation but I've never used them.
