I'm looking for a laptop bag. Either backpack or messenger bag. That will comfortably carry and protect 2 laptops.
Requirements I have are extreme durability dedicated room/pouches for 2 laptops, and room for a bunch of gear. I carry screw drivers, multitools, a CD case, a laptop cooler, 1-2 mice, headphones, an external hard drive, and other gear. I’d also like this bag to be able to hold a hefty Math book or two. I’d like to find something reasonably priced but something that will last a few quarters of school. I am clumsy and in a hurry most of the time so I would like my equipment to be as protected as possible.
Makes no sense at all on the requirements. Why?

I sometimes carry two laptops. You're not going to find a bad that's designed to do it*, you want to get a sleeve for the second one and use that to protect it, and the built in sleeve for the one you're using. My current backpack is a Targus; but I honestly don't use it very much, only when I want to carry a lot of stuff. (It was also for a 17" work laptop that I don't have anymore)
I've got a Timbuk2 bag for work, it's not big enough for more than 1 laptop and MAYBE a book, IMO. You need a pretty big bag to carry 2, and the Timbuk2 messenger bags just aren't.
You'll also need to know what size computer we're talking about. Your selections vary depending on what you've got. Anything even large-ish also eliminates Timbuk2, my 15.6 work laptop doesn't fit well enough for me to actually use the sleeve built in. (It fits, but barely, so I put my other stuff in the laptop sleeve so I don't have to fight it).
*ETA: Apparently they do make such a thing. I stand corrected.
