<p>My son has a Swissgear Maxuum backpack. It carries a lot of stuff and can take a lot of books. It’s designed as a laptop bag but he never brings his laptop to class. He usually carries the laptop (MacBook Pro) in an Eagle Creek sleeve or in a free mini-backpack that we got as a freebie from Barnes and Noble. I don’t really like the idea of carrying a lot of heavy books with a backpack as you have a lot of weight on your laptop if you ever lay it down on the back. Backpacks usually provide protection, in the form of a suspension system or shock absorber assuming that it may drop on the bottom.</p>
<p>The Swissgear backpacks provide a lot of comfort and convenience features.</p>
