I don't know about EBags but I picked up my laptop backpack a few years ago now and it has been all over the US with me. Not just in a car or on a plain, but actually out in the weather and rain. I camp a lot and my laptop is my movie theater in the woods. I got it on sale for $60 dollars at Office Max. I know it is $10 dollars more than you would like but the convenience of a local store still appeals to me. I like to touch what I am going to buy. Not to mention mine if a few years old now. Anyway the bag has a great place to put an MP3 player and lets the headset cord through a small hole, protecting even my music. It also has an internal case that the laptop slips into. Like a cozy which can be used as a separate carrying case. You might not want all of that or you might want more but at least you know you could and should get all of these features in a bag made these days for around that price.
