What's a good tech backpack?

Now, I'm aware there have been a few posts on this Forums before with the same kind of topic, but they all seemed to be pretty dated and I'm looking for something more recent, if there is anything.

 

 

So! What's a good tech backpack for everyday use? It's gotta be able to hold a 17.5" Laptop as well as cables, phones, tablets etc. Not to fussed on the style, though I'd prefer something that wasn't to flashy as it might not look to professional for work purposes. And budget, I'd like to keep it below £70 - 88 Euros - $112. 

 

 

 

Also just a general Backpack thread :P

As much as I like that backpack, it's over budget and to small.... :P

Targus is your friend. :)

The only Targus backpack I could find that can hold a 17.5" Laptop seems to have a pretty bad rep for poor quality straps

The only thing I would recommend: Jansport. My SuperBreak, even though not advertised, fits my 17.3" HP craptop.

I'm in search of a good backpack too, but I just can't find one. I've been thinking about getting a Saddleback Leather messenger but they are so expensive. But if it lasts me the rest of my life, it will be worth it. 

If you are looking for a backpack that will last you forever try osprey, The packs themselves are great but the thing that puts it over for me is the warranty, Life time repairs at no cost to you on any product regardless of whether your are even the original owner or not. You don't even have to have proof of purchase. The only pain in the ass part is finding one that suits your needs perfectly.

Desktop -  i5 4670k, GTX 770, Maximums VI Hero, 2X Kingston Hyper X 3k in raid zero.

Laptop - Lenovo X230 Intel 535 480GB, 16GB Gskill memory, Classic Keyboard Mod, Triple USB 3.0 Express Card.
