[Zero989]

rep told me that orion fits up to 20"

[FXi]

Sadly I think the Slappa mask backpacks probably won't work. /sigh

[Ryan 23]

There will be 18" Orion backpacks and messenger bags for sale once the M18X is released

[JCrichton]

If I can cram my M18x into the M17x-R2 Orion bag I'll stick with that. Otherwise I'll likely just get the M18x Orion and sell the M17x version which has hardly any wear and tear.

[Painkilller]

I REALLY like my Swissgear backpack that I currently use for my m17xR1. No way it's gonna fit the 18. Tight fit already. I've never actually checked out one of Alienwares bags first hand. Are they good quality? Hope so since I'll more than likely just buy whatever backpack Alienware is gonna offer for the 18.

[iPhantomhives]

I think my current Oakley SI Laptop bag(a.k.a Dexter's bag) will fit the m18x , it was designed to put 2 laptops lol.

[scook9]

I plan to get the Orion 18" backpack with the laptop.

[iPhantomhives]

I plan to get the Orion 18" backpack with the laptop.

Did you own Orion 17" backpack before? I found out its not really nice , I brought it a day and end up resell it.

[scook9]

I have the 17" version now and like it a lot actually. It would be my primary backpack except that it does not have the space for text books I had to carry around during college. It is the best laptop carrying backpack I have ever had so far.
