Review of the Asus G1 backpack?

Hi quality material but unfortunately the pockets are all so small as to be uselss and the zippers are of very low quality/strength and will simply seperate under any type of load. This is particulary true for the two pockets at the base on the sides of the backpack. Very fragile zippers.

Pretty but I guess it's back to my Targus

 

the backpack IS made by Targus, non?

that and i found the quality to be pretty decent. i certainly feel secure having my precious in there

 

Yeah, the backpack is a rebranded Targus backpack.

 

There is a considerable difference between the strength of the zippers on my "normal" targus as opposed to the rebranded asus bag.

It does look and feel nice though, I have already split those zippers several times and fortunately they didn't seperate all the way to the edges so I was able to close them back up.

 

I agree my Targus feels better made and didn't separate stitching when I was running for a plane like my Asus branded one has....

It's still very useable though and the laptop is too big to fit in my old Targus.

I like it apart from that one issue - and yes I was wearing it as a back pack not a shoulder bag or something

 

havnt used it yet..... i thought it looked pretty sturdy...

 

I like the look a lot, but I don't care for the two lined outside compartments. They are so small I haven't been able to fit much of anything in them. I was really hoping my sunglasses would fit in them, but nope. Otherwise, I like it.

 

I've used it a couple of times for testing purposes over the past couple of weeks.
I've found the backpack to feel strong enough, I don't have any issues with the zippers.
The right (as you face the bag) outside pocket fits the logitech 518 mouse perfectly and I've found the other pocket useful for general wires.
I have two gripes about the backpack overall.
1) the outsite mesh material will at some stage get caught on something and snag, it also feels like it will fray at some point in the future.
2) it's not that comfortable, with the G1 in the bag it seems a little blocky on your back. I found that I needed to put a magazine or three behind the notebook to fix this issue.
