    Dear members,

    Does anybody know if it's possible to order this backpack in Europe? I have searched for hours but i can't find any reseller. If not; are there some other backpacks you guys recommend?


    With kind regards,

    Rob

    If you can find the Targus XL 17" thats a great bag too.

    The ASUS bag is on ebay for worldwide shipping, a bit more pricier though. Link

    You can do much better than that bag, IMO.

    Here are a couple of other threads on backpacks:

    I have the one on the link , it comes with the laptop. It's pretty good , especially if you have a 15" and not a 17 like me.

    It's a cool bag , but i got it free. Maybe for 65 bucks you can have a better one ( the ROG backpacks is a Targus one , you can see " Targus " logo everywhere on the inside , while there's a ROG logo on the Front , pretty cool imo

    I have two specific models, the Everki Beacon and the specific backpack which came with the Dell XPS M1730.

    The Beacon is a more compact bag with a very good amount of features, and is what I'd use if you're not taking along a large amount of other equipment with your notebook(I carry a second, more mobile laptop, bricks, mice, games, my Nintendo DS, external hard drives, etc...). The bag for the XPS fits much more equipment but is quite bulky and can be a pain to drag around... I used it as a carry-on for a recent cross-country trip and it worked well to carry everything I needed. I'd recommend either one based on your needs, but the XPS bag is a bit hard to find.
