    This may be a really stupid question, but can anyone that has a G51vx-a1 give me an idea if the backpack that comes with the laptop is of 'reasonable' size: meaning that with the laptop, I could also put in a couple books, or maybe some 1"-1.5" 3-ring binders..?

    It's hard to tell from pictures, and I just want to know whether or not to order a Targus 17" backpack since I'll need to be mobile as soon as the bad boy arrives...

    I believe it's the same backpack that comes with the G1s-A1, if so, it's a pretty small backpack - especially since the G51 is much larger than the G1. It's going to hold the laptop and 2-3 books max.

    Yea, its quite small for the G51 and the required accessories to add more than 2 books is making it jam packed.
    I've already ordered a another larger bag and will prolly only use the backpack that came with the unit to be flashy at the LANs ;)

    In this video review of the g51vx a1 he opens the back pack you get with it. Maybe this will give you a better idea of how big it is. Doesn't seem too roomy to me. Perhaps just a few books for a couple of classes. Lots of padding though.

    Here's the Video:

    Thanks for the link, gives me a much better idea of what to expect. I think the Asus backpack might work out... only a couple classes in grad school :)

    Thx for the feedback guys!
