last month i bought a new laptop backpack bag because of two reasons: number one, it was part of my simple wishlist for the year and number two, i learned a good lesson not to use a bag that is not meant for the size of my laptop – like forcibly stuffing a 15.5″.  my sony vaio ended up being badly scratched for the slider of the pull tab of the zipper made contact near the lower edge of the laptop cover.i chose to buy the same brand that i used before which is samsonite.  the one i got is not really the latest (sahora series) but i prefer their hardshell look, padded laptop backpacks.  here are some of its features:

in the philippines, the samsonite sahora series laptop backpack retails for about P6,000.00 (as of april, 2010).
