    Good prices, free delivery.

    • brokey on 01/04/2014 - 08:33

      Have looked at those before…not bad…thinking that the Targus 17" still comes out in front…

    Go to closest Myer, have a look at the High Sierra bags, choose one you like, purchase from bagworld.com.au————>profit.

    I have recently bought a High Sierra Vex from them. Excellent service and very fast delivery plus cheapest price. Cannot argue much. Even though there was some issue with the first bag i got they offered to replace it with free express return.

        No worries, also you can search online and find some more pictures than what's available in their website. But for what's it's worth the bag is spacious enough to fit my big laptop and it's charger plus a couple of notebooks and a book in the main pocket and my lunch in the other pocket and my fruits in the very front pocket. A lot more small pockets and organisers for the tiny things.
        Good luck finding the right bag for your self.
        Cheers

    High Sierra bags are good. I think there's one called the Access 17" that a couple of my friends have and they look good. Many of them have had them for a few years so they're well made. I've seen them at places like Strandbags and Victoria Station for >$70.

    • brokey on 02/04/2014 - 20:59

      Thanks for the tip…have a Strandbags near me so might check them out this weekend..
      cheers

      That was pretty much my second option, I didn't go for it because of the extra weight compared to the other one. This weights 1.6 while the other is 0.95kg.
      Also bagworld has it for 60$ ;-)

        Found them…$60 sounds like a good deal…will have to try and find them at an outlet near me…

    Thanks to all who suggested various backpacks…finally decided on the High Sierra Access 17"…
    Interestingly though I did manage to locate the Targus 17" although they wanted $156 for it which is slightly over the odds…
    Anyway, cheers

    If you are in Sydney try paddys markets. Picked up a pretty sturdy no name bag for $35 on the weekend. Just be wary of the guy right by the entrance - he is significantly more expensive than the sellers inside, and they all have similar stock.

    • brokey on 05/04/2014 - 18:12

      Already ordered one from Bagworld…thanks for the suggestion anyway…
      cheers
