		I bought a laptop recently, 
Samsung RC520 S05, for 420 Euros (which is a great price!) and now I´m looking to buy a backpack to carry it around. My intention is to get a Swissgear one; maybe this one 
Swissgear GA-7343-06 Cobalt, and I just wanted to know if you guys are using one of this to carry your laptop and what would your recommendations be in this area. 
Thanks!

		I don't know about backpacks, but I use a messenger bag made by Targus that is very nice quality, I believe it is this model:

		the swissgear stuff is great. In most of the models there is a dedicated, padded, pouch that holds it. After using it everyday for uni, my computer has only suffered from wear and tear while in use, never from being inside the backpack. If you want it to be very protected, consider buying a padded sleeve for the laptop itself and then add it to the backpack. Your laptop will sleep like a baby.

		Kinda like Waffles said, get one of those neoprene laptop sleeve thingy, that protects the laptop very nicely and with that you can put your machine into your good old punk rock backpack, you will look cool and hardly be a target of muggers.
