Good laptop backpack for USD$200

The title says it. I'm looking for a backpack that is very durable. I have considered to buy the Chrome Citadel off from Tek Syndicate store but the shipping to Singapore has blown my budget too much. And for some reason, Amazon does not ship it to Singapore.

 

My requirements is that the bag must be big enough to hold a 17 inch laptop + a massive power brick along with books, power bank, a tall 750ml water bottle and a mouse. My daily load is about 8-10kg, my current and previous backpack are freebies from laptop purchases and they keep suffering the same fate of broken strap probably due to weight.

 

I also prefer to have a chest strap if possible. Thanks in advance.

Why are you considering anything over 100 though? Durability I presume?

Yeah, I'm sick and tired of uncomfortable and bad quality bag. Do let me know if there is a very good one for less than $100.

Why.... 

My laptop is heavy (2.5-3kg) and I have a pretty big power brick for it. Also, I carry one more laptop (for delivery) at times, so the ability to carry extra weight will be good. I have quite some books for school too.

Actually you should just get a camping backpack and then fit a padded smaller bag inside with the laptop and all other stuff you require, like something like this:

It sounds really ridiculous.... Is there any other alternatives?

You can customize various backpacks to your liking.

I know someone that has direct connection to Timbuk2, just to ask do you have any experience with Timbuk2 products? I'm quite worried that the straps will break in less than 6 months.

Travel bag with wheels? I know it's also ridiculous, as said you are carrying so much weights most solutions won't be that practical. The least ridiculous option is actually to get lighter laptops.

I've heard many things about their backpacks, if you're a heavy user then maybe this isn't the best option
