I looked at their Generation 4.4 laptop backpack. I was really impressed with its storage layout, but find the price of $385 to be too high for such an item. Has anyone seen it for less or do you have a recommendation for a conservative looking backpack that is as functional?

I have good experiences with eBags and their website seems pretty informative:

Might want to check to see if you have a Tumi outlet near you. That is where I get all my Tumi stuff. It's usually 30-50% retail. I just picked up a $300 computer briefcase in Sept. for $165.
