Laptop backpacks, what do you use?

Hi all,

I'm in the market for a nice backpack to fit my 15.4" lappy. Wondering what everyone else has. Pics would be nice

.
I am currently using the single strap side bag that came with the laptop and I'm finding it quite straining for the side that carries the bag. Will be using the backpack to carry the lappy pretty much everyday so comfort is the main issue. Looking for a reasonably sized bag preferably waterproof.
Also, does anyone use those laptop sleeves?

I've been using a Caribee blue laptop backback for about 2 years now. Got it from Myer in 2005 for $80 or so from memory.

Fits my 15.4" Dell nicely without major strain.

STM make some nice bags.

I think this one goes for about 120.

The laptop compartment is concealed (at a glance) for security. It also has a full protective rain cover. Handy if you find yourself outside in a downpour.
