The Bottom Line	This bag is roomy and it's comfortable to wear, but the nylon fabric that lines the back of the bag makes a crackling noise whenever the fabric moves, whether you're wearing it or just moving the bag.	Armed with one of the most eye-catching designs around, the Booq Boa Squeeze is one of the most compact yet capacious laptop backpacks we've seen.	A built-in raincoat, plus enough room for a 17-inch laptop, makes the Targus Flare worth a look, if you don't mind looking like you're on your way back to the dorms.	With just enough room for a 15.4-inch laptop and a handful of accessories, the slender MetroLite Backpack may be the perfect bag for commuters.	The CODi Tri-Pak laptop backpack costs a lot, but it's also quite stylish and comfortable to wear.
