    Does anyone have any photos of their bags? I was hoping to order one of them, when I order my m17 in the next month. I'll be heading to the States in July, so would want to take my laptop with me and obviously wanted to know how much space I have for other stuff. Thanks in advance.

    not many people have purchased the bags AW offers.
    i know a few have, but not sure which ones.
    you may want to search ebait and see if there are any there with extra pics.
    google pics of the bags too.

    I purchased the odyessey messanger bag with my M17. I suppose it technicaly fits in the bag but its kinda cuttin it close. The first few days i had it i was kinda mad cuz you really need to work it into the sleeve to get it in there and then work the zippers around the top so as not to scratch the case. After a week or so it definetely fits better in the sleeve. It is still about a quarter inch to tall but its not that big of a deal. As far as space in the bag itself goes, its a great bag. I have brought my M17, my dell mini 9, the power bricks, my digital camera, external hard drive, headphones and mouse all with my no problem with PLENTY of extra space for stuff. Granted all this weighs half what i do but i can manage lol. As far as the Odyssey messanger bag goes for the M17 id reccommed it, if a little snuggness doesnt bother you.

    I'm a full-time "backpacker" (use it like a man-purse), and STILL use both AW's Orion AND the model they carried previously to carry my M17, PS3, MSI Wind, etc...

    I doubt that I'll get around to posting any photos, but I can tell you that quality-wise the Orion is quite good, with plenty of room for a 17" laptop, huge frickin' AW power brick, a netbook, and tons of other stuff. The only problem I've had with it is some tearing on the interior material of the two pockets on either side of the silver AW head, but in all honesty, I stuffed them so full of crap that I'm not in the least surprised...

    Ultimately, I reverted to a cheap Swiss Gear bag as my full-time backpack, and now only use the Orion to transport my M17, which really is what it's for I suppose... I don't transport it much though, and if I did I think that I'd prefer an aluminum hard-case or something for such a big, heavy, and expensive machine...

    Best advice in the world though would be to go to a Best Buy/ Staples/ Whatever-type-computer-store and check out some bags in person, unless you've got money to burn, or just like little chrome alien heads like I do...
