    I have got a M15x which doesn't fit in my HP Targus 15'' backpack.

    I was looking at Swissgear Synergy but it was not able to hold the m15x. Now I am looking at one of these backpacks:
    Swissgear Ibex
    Swissgear Pegasus
    Orion Backpack

    Think so, all three can fit the M15x comfortably but I'm not sure which one of these looks good and cool. I was thinking of checking these at an outlet but Comet, PCWorld and Currys don't stock any of these backpacks.
    Staples had Synergy but not the one's I was after.

    Any pointers to outlets where I can find these backpacks on display?

    Just a heads up that there are more options, M15x owners seem to think that it's either Swissgear or Orion because of the size, but I found (and use) an awesome Superdry laptop bag. It comes in a variety of colours, and provides nice support. Holds the M15x very nicely with enough room for a lot of extras. I might write up a review with pictures, but I'm not sure.

    Sorry to not answer any of your questions, thought I'd just chuck it out there.

    I only managed to find the Orion online, but it's very expensive. Never seen any Swissgear for sale in the shops either.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I am not looking for messenger bags. I did read a few posts about the backpacks suitable for M15x and the one's that I found attractive were these three. No idea how do these bags compare with each other in terms of looks as I was not able to spot any of these bags in display.

    Have any of you been able to atleast see Pegasus and Ibex in display at any of the outlets(thought I think spotting an Orion would be difficult)?
