    The P...FX laptops are big, and as many on the forums know there are very few 17" backpacks that fit it. I was going to get a Targus Flare but they went out of stock everywhere and got discontinued. Can anyone verify if the 17" Targus Shield will work with these laptops? My guess is it will based on Targus's other bags, but I hate to spend $80 just to find out it doesn't. Thanks.

    Well...it looked like the dimentions would work compared to the Targus Flare and XL, so I went ahead and got it. I'm glad to say that the Targus Sheild DOES work no problem even with the battery for the P-####FX laptops, and probably for any other 17" because these are the biggest laptops I have seen. It's a really nice backpack. I'll try to get some pics later.
