Budget laptop backpack

[Hulkbert]

I need a laptop bag for a 14 in laptop with a lot of padding for the laptop. I have a budget of ~$40. I also need to put school stuff in there.

Just get your standard run of the mill backpack and get a 14" laptop sleeve

I got an amazon basics backpack and it ripped. Is there anything better or should I just get another one of those+laptop sleeve?

Could you recommend me a specific one?

Costco has some really good bags that are very well priced. I believe their Swiss army or similar brand. Had mine for 4 years. Used it for school (carried all my books at all times because lockers are for schmucks, my back hated me), carrying my laptop setup to and from LAN's and uncountable amounts of metal shows. Just started breaking down a few months ago but still completely usable even after the years of abuse I put it through.
