    howdo all,

    So i got my laptop a couple of weeks back, and all is going well so far. I haven't tested it anger yet, but i will be soon. However, one thing i have been looking for is a laptop backpack, and i didn't want to go for the Alienware backpack, as it's advertising you've got such a laptop, and they should mug you at the next dark alley way.

    So who has a good laptop backpack that actually fits this beast?

    Btw sorry if someone has already posted this.

    Swissgear IBEX. Bought it, it fits tight, but I could put 2 more laptops along with my m17x (smaller laptops of course). As well as books, all accessories and even clothes. The bag is huge and so comfortable. I don't like the orion because of that alienware logo on it. I rather not have people know i'm carrying an expensive laptop.

    I tried the Slappa Matrix shoulder bag and hated it! The buckles were hard to get to cause there underneath the flap. The Backpack looks much better.

    Why would you walk down a dark alley way, in the first place :confused: ? I do have an alienware backpack for my M17x and I use it at Libraries and Starbucks and bookstores etc. However I do so in the light of day and with plenty of people around. At night me and my lappy are at home :)

    BTW I have the Alienware Odyssey messenger bag and find it very comfortable and can fit my books for school, external hard drive, power brick and cord etc.

    I don't know whether this bag consider as backpack but why not take a look~ :) I bought this for my m17x (soon to arrive) and I hope it fits :p . The dimensions are OK for m17x.
