Backpack for the Asus G75

Title pretty much sums it up.

Looking for a backpack that can fit the Asus G75 and all my college books etc. for around $100. Seen alot of bags that can fit 17" laptops but the G75 is a 17.3" with another inch or so around it for cooling.

Ive been looking at the Slappa Velocity Matrix.

Any suggestions? Tyvm for the help.

 

Hi i went through this stage when i purchased my Asus G73 which should be of similar size. After months of searching through hundreds of bags i landed on the Alienware Orion Backpack. I used this bag to carry my Asus G73 to school and back. The bag was pretty amazing. The weight distribution was impressive. I didn't even feel like i was carrying a behemoth of a laptop the Asus G73 was and it was pretty slim and slick design for the bag i even received some compliments, the alienware head does attract some attention, mainly little kids walking behind me wanting to touch it haha. I also used the bag for LAN parties and even when i went to overseas holidays. The only thing that was concerning about the bag was the bag wasn't really water proof or water resistant. In light rain for a few minutes it was fine. But when the rain is pouring it would last for a few minutes after that you have to get everything out of your bag because the water just soaks through.

A close second of the backpack was the Everki Beacon. I never got to test it out but it's defiantly a viable option because it fairs better in the rain with it's included weather proof cover.

 

That does look like a nice bag, and the price is deff alot better than 100+ dollars like most other bags that can fit a 17.3" laptop.

My only question is would there be room for the power brick and a few college books, u using it for school u know what im talking about haha

That bag deff catches my attention though.

 

Ha well i only used it for my 2nd to last year of high school but i was able to fit the laptop, charger, about 3-5 hard cover exercise books, Outdoor Education gear, and lunch. You will end up looking like a turtle with tons of books but you are carrying a beast of a laptop, though it depends greatly on height. I'm about 5 ft 6 with wide shoulders and a skinny asian build so it looks rather big on me but on my taller and thicker friends you don't notice it. But usually the alien head deters people's attention anyway.

This year i down sized to the Alienware M14x. It's really convenient with choosing bags and general portability but i do miss my 17.3" screen often.
