    I just bought an HP laptop a month ago and I travel alot. I have an xbox 360 that I want to bring along when I'm traveling. I figure I might as well buy a laptop backpack that can carry both my laptop and xbox 360. I searched the forums and have found only one thread. I have one picked out on amazon. I could definitely use some feedback and advice before I pull the gun on my first laptop backpack. Or suggestions/recommendations
    Thanks

    that's a great bag and great price. I'll definitely consider it. Are you using it right now? any chance you can post some pics of the bag? Interior and Exterior? I saw the pics on the site but I don't see where you can put your laptop in. Is there another slot that they're not showing you?
    thanks

    Yea ill post some pics after class. There is one big place that i but my computer in(M15x, HUGE ) and the rest of the big zippered part is also padded, that is where i but my Xbox and cables.

    As for the Beacon Laptop Backpack, i know that a few G73 users use this bag, Search the ASUS threads, you should find something. :D

    Thanks, I'll keep a lookout for your pics. My laptop's not that big though. Pretty slim actually, its the Dv6 model. Beacon is pricey but I like the design of the astro scout. Is there enough padding where you put the laptop?

    YES its very padded its like a bed, if i where small enough id sleep in there haha. Well when you carrying both your notebook and xbox but the xbox in the sleeve, and but your laptop in the other area.
