Hi.
This Monday I'll get my G750JX with 3D panel. I'll get an Wenger Carbon 17", which is affordable. In Amazon Spain the Nomad cost 150 euros.
The Nomad isn't cheap, but it is a solid build that should last for years.
The Wenger I got from a client while I was there 4+ years ago is still going strong, and the straps haven't rolled, so it is a solid build too. This is the current model of the one I have:
http://www.wengerna.com/ibex-computer-backpack-12358I used it to carry a 17" Macbook, and a Lenovo 15" Windows laptop, both for work.
The Wenger didn't take the concentrated weight of my G750's well, the bag material stretches too much and sags, so I switched to the 18" carry Oakley Kitchen Sink.
The current model Wenger might be better suited to carry the heavy G750's, check it out in person with your G750 inside it to see for sure.
The Pegasus was a model I looked at when I got the G750JW, but it was a bit large in capacity - from back to front it is very large (HUGE!):
http://www.wengerna.com/pegasus-computer-backpack-12346The Asus Nomad bag material is very strong, it doesn't stretch/sag at all under the weight of the G750+Macbook Pro 15", and using the girth straps you can expand/contract the size so it is slimmer if you don't have a lot of stuff packed in it.
The Nomad has exactly what you would want included in the design to carry the G750's
🙂IDK if it will get cheaper where you can order it, but originally I paid $189US for pre-order from Amazon US - and when I got it I thought it was totally worth it.
When I checked the Amazon link again, the price had gone down to $124US, so I called Amazon and exercised the 7 day from delivery price protection - maybe only for Prime members buying from an Amazon Prime seller only?, and I got a $49 refund
