Personalized Backpacks

I’m just started high school and I thought I needed a sturdier, higher quality backpack this year. My backpack during the school day weighs about 20-30 lbs on average, and when I pack it to walk home at the end of school it weighs about 25 lbs. I have a Jansport backpack, but it’s pretty flimsy and I was wondering what other brands are better. Any answers much appreciated.

I’m deciding on a one of two labtops to get for college. I want a labtop that I can use for school work (type reports, research online, general websurfing) and gaming when I have time (games ranging from Team Fortress 2 to Call of Duty Black Ops to alot of intense games) I am currently interested in either the
Asus G51JX-A1 or Alienware M15x, here are the configs I decided on:

The only thing I don’t know about either labtop is batterylife and portability. I would expect to use the chosen labtop for about 3 hours unplugged and the rest of the time plugged. My backpack can hold at most a 14in X 16in labtop and im unsure of the size of both of these or any other, would I need a separate carrying case? I know this is alot but I would appreciate any help

I really need a cute backpack and i don’t know where I could get one before school starts. Nothing too girly but something nice.
Thanx!

Preferably for big chain stores like walmart, kmart, Big 5 sporting goods and such? Specifically jansport backpacks or any other good ones you know of?

Hello. I am 18 years old. He is 15. He is rude, and doesn’t care about anybody around him. He is completely insubordinate to his parents. Today I needed the computer for my university assignment, and he said "i need the desk!". He wasn’t even using the computer. I told him he could use any desk until i finish in about 35 minutes. he started screaming and swearing at me. He caused a big fight in my house and in the end hit me in the face with his backpack. This has gone on for many months (not just me, but also fighting with my other siblings). What is the problem here, and what should I do? My mother babies him and doesn’t realize how disrespectful he is. He is also extremely immature and attempts to bother people a lot. A detailed and personalized response would be great.

thanks, Daniel.

Where can I get a really nice backpack in a store Not online. I need it for school and I need a store with a lot of selections.

I can’t find any good sites/stores that sell large mesh backpacks. Any help?

Well at my school they made i new rule, not to carry around backpacks. You have to put them in your locker right when you get to school. What do i do with my tampons? And everyone goes threw my binder!! HELP
Note: We cant carry around purses, Tote bags etc!

I kneed a really awesome backpack. Something functional but also stylish. It needs to fit a fair few books, lunch, a pencil case, and little bits and bobs. Links would be much appreciated. If you could also find sites that sell the backpacks online and ship in Australia that would be super. Thx much.

If anyone knows a website where i can find good priced reliable male backpacks it would be greatly appreciated. Also if there is a website that i can find longhorn jerseys where you can like personalize names and numbers that would be appreciated too. Thanks!!!

I’ve been using totes and other one-shoulder bags for school for a while now, but now I’m getting achy shoulders. Are backpacks too "high school" for college? Any other suggestions to relieve the stress on my shoulder?

Im going into my second year of middle school, 7th grade. Where can i get some awesome backpacks? And plz don’t say the north face!

And why are those people usually from the low income neighborhoods who do that too? I mean they’re gonna talk about cutting so and so up and how they are so hardcore yet they wear these dora the explorer and spongebob backpacks? like wtf?

They’re just regular backpacks but the bottom part is brown so when you set it down,the only part touching the ground is the brown part.

I have only ever had one for an entire school year, but I was thinking that I’d like to have maybe two different backpacks so that I could switch my backpack once and a while to match my outfit or fit my mood.

I already bought a backpack that I love (it was dollars.) And now I want another (it is )
Is it ridiculous to have two backpacks for one school year, and am I spending too much on them?

My school finally is allowing us to have real backpacks. All the backpacks where I live are dull and I hate that. Japanese backpacks are cool but I can’t seem to find any awesome ones. eBay sucks, googles crap, and Bing’s just dumb. I need a real nice backpack that is so awesome it makes your eyes bleed. Any suggestions?
I would really rather buy one online.

I don’t know. i guess it’s a dumb question, but i wanna make sure cuz i had a lighter and cigarettes with me last time, and they confinscated my lighter at the door ( for obvious reasons, but just wondering ) so are backpacks okay to bring? i know some places don’t allow it for some reason.

A neon backpack, or a cute kid’s designed backpacks that are big…?
But not pink or purple or those colors, and as in kid designs, for example, Sesame Street backpacks. Thanks!

I want to have a really vast choice of backpacks to choose from
for when I choose my backpack for this August.. I might just end up
going to Tilly’s or something, but I want to look into this a little.
Thank youu!

after the kids finish stuffing their backpacks it says something about getting a more organized laptop or whatever. but in the end, the boy ends up falling over.

Hey guys,im doing a persuasive essay at school and i need some IDEAS from you intelligent people.
So should security staff have the right to check students backpacks if they have a probable cause?

I want to know how to remove the Jansport logo on the backpacks & then we put it back on put in different positions and stuff. (x Please help it would mean alot!
I would also like to know how to put the Jansport Logo back on the backpack(:

I want some pins to personalize my backpack.. But I don’t want them all to look the same.. I’m a teen that likes volleyball, music, and other teen things… And I’m also on a budget.

On a pit stop race I saw some of the teams get out of the taxi without their backpacks and the others waited to get it out of the trunk. Does the taxi wait til they come back? Aren’t you supposed to keep your backpack with you at all times?
