    I will be toting my m18x all around campus so I was wondering on what I should do about carrying it. I have had some minor back problems from a few years ago, I was a sports camp counselor for 3 years when I was 13-16 doing way too heavy lifting at that age. Currently I can handle up to 25 lbs.(Calculus Book+Calculus Review Book+Lunch) in my current backpack that has managed to take my abuse for 4 years. I'm kinda tight on money so I was wondering on what to get.

    Use a near perfect condition Eddie Bauer Backpack with P-Tac Matrix sleeves for iPad, Netbook, Macbook, Laptops and Gamer Laptops
    or something equal inside biggest compartment of it

    I know a lot of people trust Slappa for backpacks but i was wondering about how the Duffle laptop bag actually fit. I think that the orion is obviously going to be a big hit but at $120 I think it's a bit much.

    I would get the Tagus XL 17" backpack. I'm sure it'd fit your 18" as well. It is simply huge and will fit anything you could possibly need to carry around campus. I've had mine for over a year now and it still feels and looks like new.

    Thank you for posting that. I was looking for something that would have separate compartments but $120 for an orion was a bit much. I will look into it.
