There's a section just for laptop backpacks.
http://www.booqbags.com/Detail.bok?no=39
This is the one I bought, the BP3. It's very
comfortable, plenty of pockets to stash cables, usb
devices, CDs, cool magazine pocket that you can slide
them into flat. The side pockets are big enough to
stow your laptop power supply. It's padded in the
right spots and well constructed. Wide, padded straps
make loads feel lighter and more stable.
