    I'm looking for a backpack that can house my new m17x

    I've read the other threads and i dont like the SLAPPA,Orion backpackps and the Targus XL/CityGear seem to be low quality.....

    I saw 2 bags on ebags.com that fit the m17x but the site also said that the AW Orion backpack laptop compartment is 18'' x 12'' x 2'' ("too small" lol)
    so i dont know if i can trust the compartment specs on the web
    (since people here said that they use an Orion backpack for the m17x)

    so if any one can tell me about these backpacks are any good(quality&size):

    kelty connection daypack
    Kelty Connection Backpack - eBags.com

    deuter gigant
    Fashion-Origin: Buy backpack online Malaysia: Deuter GIGANT - Laptop backpack

    and if you know about any other good quality backpack that will fit the m17x

    thanks

    I use one from Targus that's not made anymore, it's black w/blue stitching and is their "natural/green" line whatever they call it. It's snug, but it fits, it's well padded and has a lot of room for other stuff without being bulky. There's a few at a local store for like $40 so if you guys like them I may be able to work something out with ya. I'll post pics in the morning.

    Here's a Targus that has worked out well for us (in fact my son uses it for his Toshiba 18" Qoismo Q870 & really likes it - well made, etc.) : Targus TXL617 Notebook Backpack Got it at Tiger Direct for about $55.00 at the time (earlier this year)
