So I just got a new G750Jz, now im looking for a laptop bag/backpack that will fit this beast.
I was keen on the Asus ROG shuttle2 as it supports the G750 range. but can not find it for sale any where.
So what do you use? I will be moving mine around most days as i also use it for work.

Akin2Silver, the Asus Nomad is the best for the G750, so far 🙂

The shuttle looks too small inside to fit the JH/JZ, check the laptop compartment dimensions:

The Nomad looks awesome.
But i do like the slick lines of the shuttle. When i looked at the specifications of the shuttle on the asus website it said the shuttle 2 was G750 compatible. Do you know if the link you have about the shuttle vs nomad is the shuttle 2?

Backpacks are easier to tote around, the satchels are nice until they get heavy, and the G750 kicks the weight over the top all by itself 🙂
The thing to watch out for with bags for G750's, you have to have a solid bottom, padding, and seriously reinforced shoulder straps. I have a couple of bags with turned shoulder straps that wore down after a couple of months.
Turned = shoulder strap foam/padding breaks down over time - insufficient to maintain integrity, and the material of the strap is the only thing holding it together - which means the stitching/thread is the only thing holding it intact. I call it "turned" because that is what happens when you pick up the full backpack - the backpack turns on the axis of the strap instead of staying in place.

If you check this page and look at the notes part it talks about the Shuttle II.

I'm thinking a backpack is the way to go, i just want to find a good one 🙂
With so many to choose from, it's not as easy as i thought.

You might also want to try http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005LMWP78/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I bought it and it looks and feels like a quality product indeed. It is also quite understated - a quality which might be useful in less than ideal neighbourhoods or places for example. It is also cheaper than Asus Nomad II last I checked. I have not extensively tested it or anything but just going by how it feels in my hand and shoulders, and the reviews on Amazon, I believe it is worth it.
