    Going to college next year, will need to carry my m17x r3 and a few textbooks around in a backpack.

    It's the Targus A7 17" Commuter Backpack. Supposed to fit 17 inch laptops but i wanted to make sure.

    well it says its made to fit 17" laptops so it should work, might be a tight fit, considering most 17" laptops are actually like 17.3" but it looks big enough

    Your main concern will be width and height....

    This. A lot of the so called 17 inch laptop bags (like the Belkin ones) are too small for the m17x. Check the width and height capacity of these bags to be sure.

    If you're in the US I would highly recommend the Everki Black Beacon. My m17x fits in about just right, and the bag itself is great quality product. Here's the newegg link:

    The belkin EVO 17 messenger bag that was included with my purchase of M17xR3 fits it just fine,together with PSU there are still ample space for other stuff.The size of the M17xR3 is deceptive as it is considerably larger than most other 17" laptops.
