You could go for this one. It's called the ebags professional slim. I've had it for almost 6 months now and I have no complaints. I have an 15 R3 but if fits very nicely with lots of room to spare! Even though it is a little expensive I honestly think it's worth every penny. its got lots of storage with organization options, a battery garage which you can remove to have even more room in the laptop compartment which is already really roomy, a padded laptop compartment which I really like, and it even has a spot for your mouse. It's also very stylish as well. It has a lot more to offer but the list would become too long lol.
One last thing that I want to mention is that I use this for college and it's honestly great. I know alienware's are on the heavier side of gaming laptops, but this backpack just makes it so comfy to carry around. I also use the backpack for college which I also have room for some folders, my sony headphones case, my textbooks, and all of my school supplies and a little more. also watch the video on their website if you can. The bag itself offers a lot to its user. But if you have any questions about it, please do let me know!
Happy hunting!

I'm pretty happy, actually, overall. I also don't really notice any fan noise. I ended up with the i7- and someone suggested that one might not have the fan problem.
I've settled in to "this is my laptop now" pretty quick. Meaning I haven't jumped on my old one to do something because it was more convenient.
Eventually I want to run some stress test type programs on it but haven't yet. All these messages about Lenovo support have me concerned, but so far so good.
I bought a dock so all my accessories and two monitors etc. are all dealt with with one plug, that setup was pretty easy.
I'm not sure how much faster it is than my old computer. Once time I booted Chrome on both and it came up faster on my 8 year old Dell i5. But copying things here and there is definitely faster.
LOVE having the button to boot to BIOS as an actual button on the side. And loving the weight reduction from my older laptop as well.
Had an issue trying to upgrade the bios, it gave an error and I gotta figure it out, but all other updates went through no problem.
Built in webcam seems kinda low quality, but that's not a big deal.
Overall, pretty happy.
Oh- I ended up getting this 14" case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJBDM98/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Interesting point- yeah, this one is just a hair larger than the actual laptop. I don't know how they take their measurements. I don't really mind. Except until now that you mentioned it, lol....
Edit: I'm not a fan of the keyboard. The keys are too far apart, that will take some getting used to. But I keep it docked most of the time with an external mouse & keyboard, so it's not an all-the-time factor.
$100 is a little bit low, but let me try to toss a couple recs your way! Definitely agree on the GR2 being a great pack.
The Timbuk2 Spire could be a decent option for you and it's about 75 bucks + 32L.
The Mammut Seon Cargo could be a good fit, and it's about 140 bucks & 35L.
You could check out the 31L Wanrdrd Prvke which is around $185.
Hope this helps - best of luck with the search!
Here's my accessories I prioritized weight and portability. I own the 13 in version
Sleeve
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N0TOQEO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
15 inch fits the 13 inch version nearly perfect. the edges are cushioned and the entire sleeve has the shock cushion bubbles. It also has a little storage pocket, that can fit all of these accessories including the pen's cigar case.
https://www.amazon.com/Thule-Gauntlet-TMPA-115-15-Inch-MacBook/dp/B006DUOMAK
I regret getting this case, not that it's bad, but adds a considerable amount of weight, it's kind of tacky and it's overkill for my everyday travel, and pricey, but it does provide a great deal of protection and you can use it as a stand somewhat and you can store a lot in it.

With that I wish there was a more compact charging cable, maybe the apple USB C wall charger will work and a portable battery. Does anyone know how much power is needed to charge the Mobile Studio? and a good desk arm for this thing.
Here is a useful app if you want to voice control your tablet, but I think it might cause battery drain
So, this is a bit of a stupid and vague question but I figured I should ask anyway. I bought a backpack specifically for college since my old high school one was falling apart. It's nice and has a compartment for my laptop, a main compartment which I can fit about 4 notebooks into with room for a little agenda, and a front compartment that I've put a bunch of random stuff in (stuff like gum, Advil, hand sanitizer, writing utensils, and a portable battery).
My question: should I be expecting to carry way more stuff for my freshmen year of college? Should I opt for an even bigger backpack? This might depend on classes too. My girlfriend told me that I should've gotten a bigger backpack since my new one, with all the stuff I mentioned, is pretty full now, but she also said to at least use it for the first week before deciding to return it.
She has a point but I also wanted to point out that there's only one day a week where I have 3 classes. The other days, I usually have one or two classes that are pretty spaced out, so I could leave certain materials in my car and run to get them if I really needed too.
Let me know on what your opinion is regarding backpacks for college. And another question, for the heck of it: what laptop/computer are you rocking for college?
http://www.amazon.com/eBags-Professional-Laptop-Backpack-Solid/dp/B00DU0PEA8
Light, super well organized, super well built. I use it day to day and also used it for a 2 day trip to NYC with no issues. I've sold three or four of these at my work to people who've seen it.
The "AC adapter garage" is worth it alone, but this backpack just feels great, is built great, and looks great.

EDIT: I realize not all these external water bottle holders, but thought they were worth keeping as budget recommendations. If the water bottle holder is a non-negotiable, id personally gonwith the Daylite Plus as I have the Daylite (non-plus model) and love it.
Also, a bonus recommendation: Timbuk2 Rogue, Carbon/Fire, One Size https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136N9Z2Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_cwyjDbAFW5Q12
I actually love the water bottle holder on this. It’s quite a compact bag, but can fit a ton when needed.
Ooh, backpacks. Your questions were terrible, but I left a lot of feedback in the open section. As a small woman with a large laptop finding the perfect backpack is impossible, so I'm always happy to see new options. My current one is holding out very well so I won't be in the market for a long time... unless someone comes out with the absolute perfect one and I happen to see it.
ETA: The submission is timing out. Too much text maybe.
This is what I typed:
-no stupid pen/pencil pouches. My pens never fit in those individual-pen-sized ones. I'd rather have them loose in a small pouch.
My current backpack is the e-bag slim professional https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DU0PEA8 and while it hits almost all the tick boxes the interior storage is a bit small - there's more padding for the laptop than is really needed, and so you can barely fit books/clothes in there at all. The water bottle pouch is also too small for a nalgene, although it fits a regular store-bought bottle. Also, the straps are a bit far apart for a woman's shoulders, but if you need it to fit a 17" laptop what can you do?
Price is a consideration but I would be willing to pay around $200-250 for a backpack that hit all the tickmarks once my current one needs replacing.

The first bag is a brand new eBags Prof Slim backpack with tag, never used/worn – Bought from Amazon and never put into the rotation due to really liking my current EDC backpack. Hoping to pass the pack onto someone who will put it to good use. Bag 2 is a like newTimbuk2 Authority Pack, Jet Black Static color. The bag was used as my office work bag, in my rotation with another bag for the past 9 months. The condition of the bag is 8/10, with no tears or structural wear. The bag has been in a smoke-free household and workplace. Check the pictures for details and condition of the bag. I’m selling off my bags to move the funds towards a Tom Bihn bag. May the odds be ever in your favor.|
I have this [Thule bag] (http://amzn.to/1DXRXcq) and I love it. Had it for about 2 years. One of the zipper pulls finally broke, but that's easily replaceable. Everything else, to include the zippers themselves, are in great shape. I travel the world with this thing and it holds up well. Great pockets for organization too.
I've never liked the "folio" style cases for any of my devices. I know they might provide more ding protection, but I'm will to take the risk and care. For my SB 2 15 I'm using this when I travel -
iPearl mCover Hard Shell Case for 15-inch Microsoft Surface Book 2 Computer ( MS-SBK2-15 Clear ) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079T12629/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ggieBbGCMSBYQ
Relatively cheap, good enough to protect from scratches (probably wouldn't do much for big drops like the UAG), easy to put on and remove, has small flip up legs at the bottom rear for a little extra lift and doesn't hide the nice design of the SB. Plus colors 😉!
It’s not a sling-style, but this is the small backpack I use to carry my iPad. It looks great and is super slim. And the Grid-It system is perfect for holding wallet, keys, chargers, external batteries, and other small accessories.
to go on a hike and get inspired with my gadgets.
Or
to have a great time on the water
Or
to take a swim with my best friend.
Or
take a stroll downtown
There might be other trinkets on the list. Nice contest!
EDIT: I just looked over your contest again and see the cap... The dog life jacket meets the requirements I think.
https://www.amazon.com/Swiss-Gear-Friendly-ScanSmart-Backpack/dp/B002OHDIWY/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=swiss+travel+backpack&qid=1566031002&s=gateway&sprefix=swiss+trave&sr=8-8
This bag is pretty good. All Swiss travel backpacks are optimal for week stays at places imo.
Edit: They do have cheaper bags. That’s just one of the ones that I know work good. I enjoy Swiss bags a lot because they have a lot of pockets to store extra stuff in like souvenirs or small things you need. It really just depends on how you travel!
Just another option: http://www.amazon.com/Thule-Crossover-TCBP-217-Backpack-Ultrabooks/dp/B004XANKVO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1382096059&sr=8-2&keywords=thule
I have a Dakine laptop backpack as well. I like the Dakine Terminal bag, but I much prefer this Thule model. I can fit more in it. I like the pocket layouts more on the Thule. It also has the nice 'crush-proof' pocket for sunglasses or whatever else you may like to put in there.
Looking for a backpack that’s professional enough for my nyc tech job, comfortable to wear, roomy enough for laptop, some stuff, change of gym clothes and lunch, but not necessarily gym shoes.
I have one I like the look of and it’s nice and light, but it’s super sweaty on my back and doesn’t hold enough. It's here.
Edit to fix link and fix description.
I'm also interested in this and would love to know.
http://www.amazon.com/Navali-Leather-Mainstay-Messenger-Brown/dp/B00ANS7WQO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
pretty good reviews on amazon.
The amazon basic backpacks are surprisingly nice. There are a lot of options on amazon that fit into your budget. I like being able to carry two laptops, over ear headset, game controller, cables, tablet and also carry on items, so I'd go with something large like the Swiss or Targus II
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002OHDIWY/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1499670900&sr=8-11&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=17+inch+laptop+backpack

I have a Tom Bihn Plot bagthat I use as my laptop bag, but like to have a neoprene or padded sleeve inside that I put my laptop in. After a good bit of research and trying a few sleeves (several of which didn't fit and were returned) I ended up with this Case Logic sleeve. It fits the T480s perfectly and the sleeve/laptop just fits in the Pilot carry-on bag.
This is what I got for my toshiba:
https://www.amazon.com/ChromeBook-CB35-Bxxxx-CB35-Cxxxx-compatible-CB35-Axxxx/dp/B00R9NKIB2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1498660364&sr=8-1&keywords=toshiba+chromebook+2+shell
Once the cb+, or other 2-in-1, was opened all the way, a shell like the 'top' cover could just clip over the face of the keyboard. My toshiba shell pops on and off as I need it.
A sleeve is an interesting idea, though the 'back' of the sleeve would have to be very thin to fit between the 'bottom' of the chromebook and the 'back' of the screen section without either messing with magnet latches or causing it not to be recognized as fully open. Thanks for the concept. :)
Sweet review!
​
I got my on wednesday. I just had to undervolt (-0.105v) the CPU and everything is just perfect. I have the i5 version. I also got the Amazon Basic Sleeve yesterday (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B013TGFTDY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). It fits great.
​
​
I really love the iPearl hard shell case for the Toshiba Chromebook 2. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R9NKIB2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I also have the Case Logic neoprene sleeve. It is just OK. Fits good left to right but has a couple extra inches in the vertical direction so the fit is sloppy. It does have a nice pocket for the AC adapter. There has to be a better fitting sleeve out there for the Toshiba Chromebook 2.
I have one of these for my X220 with a 9-cell, it's a snug fit but not difficult at all to get in and out. The material is really nice and it feels very well-made, so I have no complaints.
Honestly, any 13.3" MacBook sleeve with any flexibility should be able to fit a 12.5" ThinkPad, since the extra thickness seems to be offset almost exactly by the smaller width.
Some options
edit made links work a little better
hope this helps, best of luck
Actually I can help with the 15" one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079T12629/ref=emc_b_5_t
I would 100% get this if it came in the 13" version because of the smooth top, it also comes in a lot of different colors too! Thanks for the luck I'm gonna need it lol >u<
I bought the CB2, first edition. The IPS screen is very bright and I like working on it. The unit is well-reviewed and has ended up on most top 10 lists. But as others note, the build materials could be better. If you plan to slam this around and semi-crush in a bookbag, dunno ..
I bought this cover fo $20 to give it a little added strength: https://www.amazon.com/ChromeBook-CB35-Bxxxx-CB35-Cxxxx-compatible-CB35-Axxxx/dp/B00R9NKIB2
And regarding android. Personally, I think it's going to take a couple of years for that to really shake out and become useful.
I got a pretty sweet knockoff on Amazon that I love. Check it out.
Excellent advice! I went with this one. Case Logic has always been good to me and the CB2 fits perfectly snug.
I'd say what work bag to carry depends on your job and sense of style. Clothing "Casualization" and the need to keep electronic devices on hand have made backpacks more acceptable in office settings, and sometimes they can be more preferable than the expected briefcase. So unless your office's culture is very conservative (or your backpack is very loud), backpacks should be fine.
If you're still looking to move on from backpacks, I would recommend (Solo Hybrid Briefcase)[https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Hybrid-Briefcase-Converts-Backpack/dp/B00JGHVJE4]; I carry mine briefcase-style when I'm in the office and then convert it into a backpack to better navigate moving through the city/rushing for the train.
This doesn't have a second compartment but it fits snuggly and I like it. I looked at the one you posted but the dimensions seem like there's an extra inch in there. Something to consider if you haven't found what you're looking for! :)

I was a beautiful sleeve! SADLY.......... .6 inches not wide enough. I was hoping there'd be some give since I saw the specs. I gave it to a friend who needed a sleeve for a ZenBook. I also bought this, perfect fit: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HCF0ZMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The Timbuk2 Spire is my favorite under 100 bucks backpack:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M480ON4
In all black, it's not too bad, though may not be your style.
If you can triple your budget, my favorite backpack is the Staad from Waterfield: https://www.sfbags.com/products/staad-laptop-backpack
It fits your aesthetics and is amazing.
Hi! As iPad 12.9” owner, I use a 13.3 inch laptop sleeve case (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01D0VM2L0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_shJMDb4Y0V2WT) that I bought in Amazon. It’s pretty comfortable to carry around to me. :)
I use this: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-13-Inch-Felt-Laptop-Sleeve/dp/B013TGFTDY/ref=sr_1_11?s=pc&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1506716514&amp;sr=1-11&amp;keywords=laptop+sleeve+13
Cheap and looks pretty nice. Laptop fit is good too, it doesn't move around much.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004XANKVO/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/177-5460497-6876555
I have that one. It's awesome. I got mine on eBay for like $80. That was awhile ago though. But it really works well I carry all my school stuff in it and it's big enough for a few days trips. There's lots of video reviews on YouTube as well. I'd check it out.
This one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HCF0ZMI/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
&#x200B;
Fits perfectly, very well-made with thick material, offers great protection!
Maybe this, http://www.amazon.com/Everki-Backpack-14-1-Inch-Laptops-EKP118/dp/B00LGN7Y3G but even this doesn't look so slim compared to some of the other brands. To be honest, I like the looks of that budget Belkin bag but the reviews scared me (expected from low end bag) so I don't want to be stranded. My other find is this thing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RRLIG1K/ Pretty interesting and slim. And another, while not the best looking bag, I actually saw one in the store and it's very light and looks sturdy: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B3SMAHO but I am not sure about those buckles if they will last or crack (my previous bag had that springy plastic chip on me and break off, it was Swiss Army brand, maybe they use same plastic parts) Other finds: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YDP34CE and this slim one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LBYTMOY and of course there is Lenovo one, but this looks really dated and almost like $10 bags, but you never know until you get one. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JV1LTA4
On Amazon the leather Mainstay is only $109.
I actually ordered the blue canvas Mainstay a while back and they sent me the blue Boatswain instead. I think they both look great, so I kept the Boatswain. Really nice bag.
Edit: Interestingly all of the bags are now cheaper on Navali's own site, except for the leather Mainstay. Only $50 for the canvas Mainstay.
Wrote this on another post. Hope it helps
Originally, I purchased the ProCase 14-15.6 Inch Laptop, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MFEHFKH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1. It was a little too big for the computer and I didn't like how much you can open the bag. I was always afraid if the bag was slightly open and not fully zipped, the computer would fall out.
I ended up with the Tomtoc 360° Protective Laptop Sleeve, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HCF0ZMI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1. Fits the computer perfectly and has a bit more protection.
You're in luck dells official sleave on Amazon is on sale for $31 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B012DT6IBA
If you want cheap, I got this and it's a good fit.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01H4ZRGBY
Edit: updating pricing and shipping details.
Rather unfortunately, the Alienware 15 is too big for some 15.6 inch bags, because of the protruding back exhausts. You will have to look for 16-17.3 inch bags. 16 inch is more comfortable.
The closest that I found based on your needs is this on Amazon (US) https://www.amazon.com/Case-Logic-LAPS-116-15-16-Inch/dp/B004NY9UXM
This is all that I can find. Comes in Purple and red like you said. I’m pretty sure that someone will suggests something better than this case, but I’ll try to help.
I've got a grid-it built one and a I love it. I carry so many dongles, adapters, cords, batteries, keys, velcro, etc - this thing is a godsend.

Pretty heavy, but protects the top and bottom well.
I use mine with the apple smart keyboard, and when I put it down on the table I make sure not to put it on it's back, so it doesn't scratch. For carrying it around I bought a felt sleeve like thise one.
I think the ipad pro feels amazing without a case and I don't want to spoil that. For example when I'm on the couch reading comics on it I will use it without any case.
However, I don't carry my ipad around outside often, it mostly stays in my home, I will only take it with me on longer trips. If I carried it for example every day to work or university I would probably think about getting a back case.
Not sure if you mean a plastic snap on case or a sleeve, but this is the sleeve I use and it’s been pretty decent.
Tomtoc Laptop Sleeve for 12.3" Microsoft Surface Pro 5 /4 / 3 | Apple 13 Inch New MacBook Pro A1706 & A1708 | Dell XPS 13 | 11.6" Acer HP ASUS Chromebook Tablet, Support up to 11.97 x 8.36 I https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4ZRGBY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LxuVAb4MR5D3F
[This sleeve] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NY9UW8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1). I have it, it works well and protects my 13" retina. Would definitely recommend.
Another +1 for the North Face Surge 2. Also in Scotland I hear you regarding the weather. I just got this to handle the waterproofing. Easy to use and packs up small when not in use.
I use my bag daily to carry laptop (Dell Precision M4600) plus tools and all my other gear for work, walking 4 miles each way. Bag handles the weight well and despite being heavy (due contents, bag itself is light) it is very comfortable. Loads of compartments to organise your gear too.
I looked all over at backpacks before settling on the Surge II. Other one which caught my eye was the Thule 32l Crossover but could not find an example in shop to view first hand.
I was initially sceptical about the Surge thinking it the best of a bad bunch however it has been rock solid and can't recommend it highly enough.
This one is actually my daily cary bag, I have yet to use it as a diaper bag, but it seems like it would be very good at filling that role. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JGHVJE4/
I don't think a backpack is necessarily unprofessional, I got this one and have been really happy with it and even got a few compliments about it. Almost 9 months later and still in great condition https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XZTZ7GB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7vYUCbWQ0B5WE
I often put one or several board games into a laptop/iPad case. Something like this. They come in different sizes. Personally I have one smaller one and a large one. Most boards can fit in one of the two when folded, and then I add baggies containing the remaining bits and bobs. Keeps everything neat and tidy and somewhat protected without taking up too much space or weight.

With your budget, you should just get the ASUS G750JZ. I own the version with the 780M and it's built with incredible quality and its cooling can't be beat.
It has an i7-4700HQ, 24GB RAM, 1TB HDD + 2 x 128GB SSD's on RAID 0, Nvidia GTX 880M graphics and a 17.3" 1920x1080 display.
I'm in love with mine.
If you want to pay more and customize it, you can also get it on [XoticPC](http://www.xoticpc.com/product_info.php?ref=154&amp;products_id=6979&amp;affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank)
Keep in mind these are not portable at all, but you can get a laptop backpack to make it more reasonable to move.
For portability, I'd go with the [MSI GS70 Stealth](http://www.xoticpc.com/product_info.php?ref=154&amp;products_id=6934&amp;affiliate_banner_id=1" target="_blank), but you'd need to pre-order it as it isn't available as of yet.
The Razer Blade Pro is pretty gimmicky and I've heard a lot of things about the Switchblade not working well.
SwissGear Backpack is pretty awesome, reasonable cost and durable.

(1.) Crazy glue the rubber feet back on the bottom of the Surface Book 2.
(2.) Get a clear case for your Surface Book 2: Here
- With the clear case, if you have the 15" Surface Book 2, you're good to go. If you have the 13.5" version, the clear case isn't as good.

This sleeve is $10, fits nicely, and has a zipper compartment where I keep my adapter/dongles(The small ones). I bought it and I use it nearly everyday, I even store the MacBook in it.
The trick is to cross reference the dimensions of the MacBook Pro with the internal dimensions of any sleeve. You don't necessarily have to get one specifically made for the MacBook. Generally, 14" sleeves seem to work best with the 15" 2016 Pro because of its smaller footprint.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HCF0ZMI
I bought this one and use it daily, it's very well made! You have to get the 15-15.4" model as that fits the X1E/P1 (both generations) perfectly.
I use a Case Logic sleeve for my 13-inch. It's really nice, and provides excellent protection for when my laptop is in my book bag. Also really cheap.

except I need one for a 15inch MBP and I'm currently abroad so I don't know where to order from.
Have you looked at the Thule Crossover? https://www.thule.com/en-us/us/backpacks/laptop-backpacks/thule-crossover-backpack-25l-_-tl_85854231350
I haven't personally used this bag, but a few coworkers have it and like it a lot!
I personally carry a Fjallraven Raven 28l https://www.fjallraven.us/collections/backpacks
But it's a bit more on the rugged look imo and matches closer in aesthetics to a Jansport bag.
A third option is the ebags professional slim backpack on Amazon, it's only 21.6L but the organization makes up for it imo.

Edit: I know they're both over $100, but not by much. I got my Raven off of Amazon for $110 and the Thule you might be able to get on sale somewhere.
Timbuk2 on Amazon has some great bags... I just got a Parkside, which is smaller than what you want.

This is the one I used, it will hold 3 binders in the back pocket, then it will hold 2(3 at a squeeze) Arkhive sized boxes in the middle pocket, in the front you can fit your dice, chargers, pens, notepad. It has a usb connector for a power supply if you want to charge your phone on the go. Legit Solid bag, also for security it also has the little zippers that allow you to lock the bag with a padlock.
The eBags Professional Slim Laptop Bag is extremely functional and doesn't look half-bad! Echoing /u/Flying_Orchid, function > form and the bag has both in good measure. It has been my favorite purchase of the past year.
Kopacko Business Backpack
I bought this and love it. I contemplated a lot of choices but the cost and space is perfect.
I used to carry my stuff in a backpack when I worked in the city and took mass transit and walked a lot more.
This one looks pretty nice, and only $40
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DU0PEA8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Got this guy as an upgrade a few weeks ago, and I LOVE it.
You could check out [amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Backpacks-Accessories/b?ie=UTF8&amp;node=335604011) and choose a backpack you like. Most are under $75 or on sale.
Also checked some links so if you want to see my top choices here ya go:
I might also look into getting a case/sleeve for it like this and maybe a pocket mouse like this.
I've had that mouse for a few years now, and after having burned through a couple others i can attest that it's thoroughly solid. Part of my feels dirty because its Microsoft but they make a good mouse.
This is the best backpack ever.
Swiss Gear ScanSmart
If you're sticking with the Jansport bag, you can't go wrong with black.
Has anyone compared Navali Leather Mainstay to the Canvas Boatswain?
Do you think the leather is good enough to be worth the extra ~50 bucks compared to the waxed canvas of the boatswain?
Or should I go for this Samsonite instead of the other 2?
I bought my CB14 a couple of weeks ago. I asked on here what a good case was. I know you want a hard case but this is pretty good too. It has some padding

You gotta order the 12" one, just because this notebook is so slim.
SwissGear SA1923 Black TSA Friendly ScanSmart Computer Backpack - Fits Most 15 Inch Laptops and Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002SXMRO4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_j2t0xbFAG5BVS
I recently bought this Swiss Gear backpack to carry my bulky 15" work laptop and also my 1.5L Camelbak Chute. The water bottle holders have an adjustable clasp which can hold pretty much any size bottle. This was the main selling point for me since I needed something to carry my large water bottle. With my water bottle, laptop, Tupperware for lunch, and charging cable, it still has room for other things. You shouldn't have an issue with storage.
Not sure about the BIFL status of it, but after purchasing, I've seen tons of other people with the same backpack at work. From the reviews, others have stated that it holds up well.
Here are the items I picked up to go with mine.

The quality is fine. Maybe not the best cover ever, but I guess it was OK for my purpose
I used this one last year, and it held up pretty well. Granted, I didn't have to carry more than one textbook at a time, but it held a 5-subject notebook, 7 folders, and a few regular-sized books along with the textbook, and it only has a few small holes in the top.
I use a Swissgear laptop backpack from 2005 that has held up great. This one looks like it (obv mine is an older model no longer made): https://www.amazon.com/SwissGear-Friendly-ScanSmart-Computer-Backpack/dp/B002SXMRO4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1502988061&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=swiss+laptop+backpack
I have traveled over 1.5million airline miles with it and it only has a few signs of wear.
I also use a Timbuk2 Commander messenger which I love and is very durable but doesn't hold enough stuff for when I fly international, which is at least once a month.
Inateck MacBook Pro Sleeve
Trust me on this one. I bought it for my 13” MacBook Pro and it’s amazing. It’s very affordable, it includes a little accessory bag in which you can throw the MBP charger and a few more things (i.e.: i also throw my Magic Mouse). Also it has 3 extra compartments: one for an iPad, one for putting something like an external SSD, and one for a smartphone but I use it to put my USB C Hub.
I have a 13.3" Case Logic neoprene sleeve, Navy Blue, I used it twice for my MBP (got a company laptop+case) so it'd fit the rMBP perfectly.
This exact case
I'd sell it for 1 tootsie roll bar (either the candy itself or equivalent PayPal value) + $5 shipping (also covering fees) = $7.35 total (shipped) max.

I love this backpack because there are so many pockets to keep everything organized
Thanks for such a complete reply! I also have an iPhone 6 and one of the things that I'll try to understand and take advantage of is the iCloud integration.
About protection, I'm thinking about buying this bag while I wait for cases to come out specifically for the new model.
I have this one. It has a padded laptop sleeve, ipad sleeve, small pockets for accessories, a crush proof sunglasses area, a large main compartment big enough to put a relatively thick jacket, and plenty of organizing areas. I've been traveling with for the past year and it's held up. I can fit a macbook, ipad, dslr, sweatshirt, water bottle, a pair of full sized headphones and a couple books. Not terribly bulky either, I'd recommend it.

I feel like I'm always recommending this pack, but it's exactly what I would've wished for as a student: eBags TLS Slim. Certainly water resistant, the only backpack I own that's professional enough to take to corporate meetings. Tons of reviews if you have any questions. I used it every day for work and recreation andI am not kidding when I say I see zero signs of wear. Here is an overview by the seller.
What they make a backpack??!
Edit -- here it is. It looks pretty slick.
These two are good quality options, well designed quality laptop backpacks.

I purchased the 11.6-13inch version of this sleeve for my 2016 13" tbMBP. It's a snug fit and does not slide around. Looking at the other reviews, the 14" version looks to be a snug fit for the 15" model.
I don’t think 15 inch sleeves will fit, I would recommend this one:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HCF0ZMI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OSs0DbEW3SQPZ
I bought this simple one and like it a lot. Not a perfect fit because it's for a MacBook, but it looks classy and is very simple.

I picked up a 13" AmazonBasics sleeve. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013TGFTDY/
It's a bit bigger than it needs to be, but has a front pocket where I stash the pencil and a cleaning cloth. Back pockets are good for dongles/adapters. And it's only $12.
Inexpensive and flexible, with good capacity: https://www.amazon.com/SOLO-UBN310-15-6-Inch-Briefcase-Backpack/dp/B00JGHVJE4
Check out this Cocoon backpack. They have a "Grid-It" system in the front pocket that's amazing for all of the small things.
I just got this one. Fits perfect.
This eBags Professional Slim Laptop Backpack would hold the Predator 17x and is very comfortable. You can also remove it's padding to hold additional stuffs.
I was looking for a small, thin case/sleeve to protect the CBP when I carry it in my backpack and got this Tomtoc. It fits very snug without the side-to-side play. The small inner flap also protects it from the zipper.
I have this bag and it looks pretty beat up. Interested?
I keep mine in an iPearl mCover, bought on Amazon here:

Funny story, that probably belongs on /r/TIFU: I was sleeping in a cabin, and I had my sleeping bag on the top bunk of a bunk bed. My laptop, the Toshiba Chromebook 2 in question, was on top of my sleeping bag. Without thinking about it, I whipped my sleeping bag off of my bed.
My Chromebook went flying. Fortunately, it had the case on it. My laptop was left with a couple dings and some scratches, but the screen did not shatter and neither did the case. That case paid for itself 12 times over that day.
This is my backpack.

It serves me really well. It's durable and only fits what I need and nothing extra. Also the laptop pocket zipper is behind the straps so it can't be stolen.
My current fav is the eBags Professional Slim Laptop Backpack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DU0PEA8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_4aKFAbG87Z7YJ

From what I've read, any 14" laptop sleeve will work. FWIW I bought [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XJBDM98/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1), I heard the Amazonbasics sleeve is good too.
I've been using a timbuk2 spire in camo daily for the last 4 years. The only problem I had with it was when some oil got inside the bag (that's completely waterproof) and I had to clean it out without the benefit of ventilation. I had to shove it on top of a fan for 2 days to get it dried out.

It is a speaker under my desk. Having it in the corner really makes the bass reverb. Also, the backpack is a SwissGear smart-scan backpack. I really like it.
I used to use this every day when I was commuting on my bike. Kinda on the small side, so if you're looking to haul a bunch of gear probably not the right bag for you, but it served me well.
Well i have had mine for a few months and did not have any problems. Mind you i have a [case] (https://www.amazon.com/ChromeBook-CB35-Bxxxx-CB35-Cxxxx-compatible-CB35-Axxxx/dp/B00R9NKIB2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1469132943&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=toshiba+chromebook+2+case) on it.

I got this exact keyboard and a case logic 11.6 inch sleeve (no handle.) I already have the case and the keyboard is getting here tomorrow. I'll report back with pics and fit then.
Edit: Pics
Keyboard in case
Nexus 7 on keyboard
Keyboard is kind of tight in case, I'm just gonna let it stretch over time. Nexus 7 obviously fits. The case I got
It looks like the iPearl mCover case.
I got a tomco one for my 13". It's a good fit. Nothing special about it but I put it in there and then into my bag for work.

The short side fits perfect. The long side is slightly longer than the surface book. It's not really long enough that it shakes around in it or anything. Gives enough room to put the pen there, but I usually don't keep the pen attached there because it falls off when I pull the sb out.
I have the 13inch model for my retina MBP http://amzn.com/B004NY9UW8
If they have the 15 inch size, I'd go for that. It has worked well for me. shrug

This does not fit the XPS 15
I don't think that one does, but Navali does make another bag, The Mainstay that does have a laptop pocket. They are also even cheaper on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Navali-Leather-Mainstay-Messenger-Brown/dp/B00ANS7WQO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1407244788&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=navali
I was curious about the Navali Leather Mainstay too. Just accepted a new job and wanted to class up my act a little without breaking the bank.
I have no personal experience with them (hopefully soon), and I didn't find much out there on MFA. No reviews on Navali's site, but here are some from Amazon.
I use the Solo Duane with my iPad Pro 11” in a Smart Keyboard Cover in the tablet slot adjacent the laptop compartment. I will say, it juuuuuust fits (very snug), but if you have any thinner cases it slides in no problem (and there’s a velcro strap to secure it from sliding out). I got this bag partly because it was on sale for $35 (normally $55) and partly because it’s a backpack-messenger hybrid which allows you to decide if you prefer to carry it as a messenger, backpack, or briefcase. Lots of compartments with thoughtful design (the small compartment zippers 2 sides so you can access it whether the bag’s on its side or standing). (https://www.amazon.com/Laptop-Hybrid-Briefcase-Converts-Backpack/dp/B00JGHVJE4/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=solo+new+york+backpack&amp;qid=1565384516&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-3)
iPearl mCover Hard Shell Case for 15-inch Microsoft Surface Book 2 Computer (MS-SBK2-15 Clear) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079T12629/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_OijiDbZ6R416D has been working really well for me to protect my SB2 15. It doesn’t block vents and seems to be durable (though it doesn’t protect the hinge - not sure much could due to the design).
I am a little concerned about heat and throttling though. The SB2 likes to move into the dreaded 400MHz mode in the summer when it gets hot and throttles.
I don't know, I don't feel like it's that flashy to be honest. Can't deny though that it is branded too hard, but at the moment it's either that or this, since they are the only backpacks I have, and the swissgear one is just too big to me for school use.
I bought this one from Amazon for my X1C3 and my T440p fits also.
I just finished college. I would never carry a designer bag with me to class ... in high school it would be even worse especially if it's well known.
I would use an actual bookbag when I was in college and high school because textbooks hurt and you may need them for class. Get a backpack ... I like http://www.amazon.com/SwissGear-SA1908-ScanSmart-Backpack-Laptops/dp/B002OHDIWY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1408420368&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=backpack+college
and carry my laptops.
Rebecca Minkoff ... I have a few of her bags from when she first came out. Quality went downhill imo. Marc by Marc Jacobs have nice bags ...
I am trying to think of something comparable to the Neverfull because honestly it's a waste of money at 900 for canvas. If I come across something I update.

I'm looking for a bag that has a laptop sleeve, preferably a shoulder pad, and is genuine leather for <$150. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Get a bagpack with a laptop sleeve and one of these.
What about a laptop bag such as this? There must be one suitable for the keyboard's dimmensions.
For a neoprene sleeve it seems really expensive. Especially with something that's basically the same for a lot cheaper.

Can't beat the spire for under $150. I tried this bag out for a week and loved it but then I found mission workshop and haven't looked back since.
This is what I have now but well worth it. I know it is out of your price range but I lug around a 15" MBP, iPad air, head phone otter box case, ray ban hard clase case. 3-5 small notebooks, and a keyboard I take to and from work and still have plenty of room.
This isn't a leather bag like you requested, but is my recommendation for a fabric one should you go that route:
