Shoulder/Side bag or Backpack

[R2K]

I am gonna replace my existing bag with a new one soon...

I just need to carry a notepad, a 14.1in laptop, may be a shirt or two..
What kind of bag would be suitable for my needs...A backpack or a side/shoulder bag
or which one do you guys prefer

A Backpack would be comfortable

Get a good back pack, one of those Swiss Gear ones. Really nice, and the weight is evenly distributed to both shoulders. I had a side bag for like 5 years (office) -- messed up my back.

backpack is always better.. you can use it for laptop and if required you can use it for some clothes or whtever..

While Backpacks are comfortable ....but it gives a geeky look which i don't wanna have...

^^backpack do not give any geeky looks.. instead side/shoulder bag gives professional look
