Can anyone suggest a Bag for the Asus G73

Hi all,

I have my brand new G73 but alas my model did not come with the backpack (not to worry, not a big fan of backpacks to begin with). Anyways, my laptop doesn't exactly fit in my current 17 inch bag, and I was curious if anyone could suggest a model they have that fits the laptop?

Thanks so much!

 

I've got one of these coming in this week:

Yeah, it's pretty hardcore but I figure I may as well protect my investment. I've been using a Velocity SPYDER laptop backpack and must say it's protected my Gateway P-6831FX well in that padded inner pocket. (I plan to pass along the laptop as well as the bag to my brother.) I've also read the G73 does not fit. The P-6831FX just barely fits so I know it's a no-go for the G73.

I absolutely cannot stand marred surfaces, scuff marks or scratches on my laptops. You almost need to buy a sleeve to protect your laptop before you put it into a backpack. Other than the SYPDER, I've never seen a backpack with a plush inner pocket.

Lastly, it's easier & safer to lift a backpack out a case than slide it into a backpack. I'm always paranoid it'll get scratched by a zipper or something. Yes, I'm anal but my Gateway looks just about brand new too.

 

Please let me know how it fits once you get it.

Anyone else have a suggestion?

 

Isn't there a whole thread with 7 pages about 7 posts down from this with that info?

 

I assume you can get an asus backpack from someone who doesn't want theirs (me?)

 

Will do Mormaer...should be able to confirm if it fits with no problems this weekend.

Yes, there is a thread like this very one already but the discussion revolves solely around backpacks. No other type of bags or carrying cases specifically for the G73 are mentioned.

Waterfield bags. They're custom made to your laptop size.

 

Swiss Gear Ibex bag

I use this bag in industrial settings everyday and its very sturdy and rugged

i highly recommend this over all the others listed in this thread.


It has lots of pockets for small items such as USB drives and three additional sections for books, another smaller laptop...ect.

I can carry my G72 and my PS3 slim(cords and controllers) in this bag as well as 5 games in their cases

with all that said the G73 is quite large and heavy for a shoulder bag. i hope you dont intend to travel far with it around you neck or on your shoulder

 

The only other thread I saw was pertaining to backpacks. I am looking for a a standard laptop bag. I am asking here because the way the Asus g73 is built it can be tricky to find a bag that fits it. I can't find one a Microcenter/Best Buy/Office Max that suits me and I'd rather not order one from online thinking it will fit and find out once it arrives that it doesn't.
