I've used a Targus backpack for several years now and have been very happy with it.  It's my IT "survival" pack.  I can carry my laptop, accessories, CDs, extra network cables, various adapters, a few books, etc.  and be prepared wherever I go.  I've been through countless airports (even international) and the bag has yet to see any significant wear.  The only thing I didn't like was the padding along the bottom was a bit thin and I felt that if I placed the pack down too hard, the laptop would take a big jolt.  But, I simply cut some foam and placed it in the bottom and haven't had a problem.
I think Targus has very well made laptop backpacks and recommend them.
Unfortunately, they don't make my style anymore.  The closest they have is this one:

Where this one has 3 main compartments + 1 small, mine has 2 main + 1 small.  Otherwise they're very similar.

Hope this helps.

What are people using for laptop backpacks these days and liking?  I’ve been thru several generic bags, and most recently an Icon I picked up at Micro Center, none of which I’ve been happy with due to durability or storage issues.

Mine is a generic no name obtained second hand from Intel.  Wish I could tell you what it was as it has been very good for me.  Main pouch for the laptop.  Secondary pouch held two notebooks and at least 2 text books.  Two tertiary pouches (each have the height of the main pouches) for the laptop PS in one, calculator, pens, PDA, etc... in the other. Mouse in a side pouch (also for a drink) and then spare stuff in the pocket on the flipdown cover that goes over the two tertiary pouches.
