School bag recommendations for a 14 year old boy with laptop section

Can anyone recommend a school bag for a 14 year old boy for school? Ds goes to a sen School so I have no idea what on trend for boys his age. Neither does he. Ideally with a padded laptop section - like a smiggle backpack which he currently has but it's ripped.

Ideally not too plain so it gets mixed up. His school is reasonably lax on logos etc but he does wear uniform.

DD has a Jansport with a seperate laptop sleeve. She got it in Y11 and is now at uni and carrys it around each day. They are not the cheapest but comfortable to wear and are indestructible.

She likes it more than one with a fixed laptop section as they can be less flexible.
