It’s only Wednesday morning and we’ve already blown through seven computer bags in our Back to School Bag Week Review Blitz. Stay tuned, we have a bunch more on deck from Incase, The North Face, Timbuk2, Crumpler, Booq, and even a gaming backpack from Astro. In case you missed a couple the first time around, there’s a quick round-down of the first seven after the jump.
