<p>I recently ordered an alienware m15x laptop as my graduation present for college. After ordering it I've been looking around on quite a few sites to find a good backpack/messenger bag style laptop bag that can also hold a couple of my college books. I was wondering if anybody could help me out with finding some bags that aren't overly bulky but can still carry a good amount of stuff without wearing on my shoulders.</p>
<p>Check out the North Face Surge. It has a dedicated well-padded laptop section that can hold a bigger laptop. It also has a middle section that can hold a few books/and notebooks. It also has a third section for “crap”–like pens, calculator, etc.</p>
<p>North Face looks like a good bag, but I would prefer something a bit more stylish. Anyone got something in the line of a more stylish bag?</p>
<p>Kipling makes a couple of nice laptop bags, messenger style and backpack. Not sure how stylish?</p>
<p>I’m looking for something along the lines of maybe booq or timbuk2 style bags but still functional as a college bag to hold a couple books and whatnot.</p>
<p>Actually, I think I’ve found a good bag it’s the SLAPPA PTAC Pro Shoulder bag. Looks like it has plenty of room, is stylish, and most importantly fits the m15x. I’d check it out, looks like a good brand that has a lot of cool looking and high quality gear.

<p>It’s a great bad, but are you willing to spend >100$ on it?</p>
