Hi, I'm moving further away from uni next year and want a rucksack that will hold my laptop while I'm walking.

Needs to be fairly sturdy and fit a 15.4 inch laptop in, preferably with padding.

I have looked around but haven't seen anything below the £45 -£50 range.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated

Thanks to everyone who posts competitions

I have one similar to this, had it for years:

Smaller one for £20:

The Swissgear bags are very sturdy and take a lot of punishment.

Slightly pricey, but I'd seriously recommend any of these:

I use this:

They are properly tough, and have masses of space for more than just one laptop. I manage to fit A full size laptop, large cooling stand, netbook, portable HDD & CD drive and still have space for two ring binder files... as well as a full pocket for pens and other bits and pieces.

They don't stock backpacks... that's why I was asking on the forums
