Airlines with single bag carry-on restriction also generally allow one to bring their notebook computer in the portfolio style cases- Fine, but still it is another item to lug around. I am trying to consolidate things into a single padded backpack which can accomodate both computer and some general luggage. Have been through shopping malls and places like Best Buy. Lots of nice packs but after the computer, manual and some file folders are in they are packed full. Who makes a larger bag?

What are the recommended notebook/computer specifications for architectural students especially for those who are studying architecture in Australia Unis like Uni of Sydney, UNSW, Uni of Melbourne, Uni of Adelaide or Uni of Queensland?

I’ll be going there next February Intake.
