ASUS ROG Shuttle II Gaming Backpack, 17 inch

After acquiring an ASUS ROG laptop via Amazon in August of last year, I had some trouble sourcing a good quality, sturdy laptop carrying bag for a 17.5" laptop. Many other bags available say they're 17" laptop certified but turns out it's a bit of a squeeze. Finding one that looks good was also a bit of a chore.I became aware of this bag via the ASUS website itself but was initially turned off by the price. For a laptop bag, I really didn't want to spend nearly £100. But just before Christmas, the price seems to have decreased a little and so I moved in and grabbed one.This bag will absolutely not disappoint! The build quality is superb, it's got plenty of room for a 17.5" laptop and much more (easily enough room for several tablets, books, stationary etc.).It's a nylon and rubber type design all over and as the photos suggest it's very sleek (as long as you like black!). Due to the material there is a degree of waterproofing too, so being caught out in the rain with your hardware isn't going to be much concern.Some reviews of the bag I've read criticised the size, stating it is just too big (I chuckled at one review that said it made him look like a turtle!) but I'm 5ft 7" and I don't feel it's too big. Yes, it's a big bag but if you're like me and carrying around a big laptop that needs the essential protection that some additional padding brings, this isn't a problem.

Absolutely brilliant. Tough construction, well padded, lots of storage, great quality and managed to survive airport security without a scratch to either outside or the contents.When you spend a £1000 on a laptop, you want it protected and this does the job perfectly!

This backpack is very cool, with black and red colours and a ROG mark at the front of the backpack. It has a lot of pockets, good space for everything and it is waterproof (BIG plus). It's fit very well for the back and it is very comfortable. The backpack is tiny too big but it is made to cary a 17" laptop inside tho.

Comfortable bag and looks great. Easily takes my 17 inch Asus gaming laptop and brick of a charger, as well as a tablet and other work bits.

A little over priced for what it is but a great spacious bag suitable for any gamer hoping to store a 17.3 inch laptop, mouse, headset, cooling stand, external GPU exhaust and a bunch of network cable all in one convenient place. Ready to go to any LAN party you might be invited too at the last minute!

Very nice bag,durable

Good design see if it lasts as long as other one

Over priced for what it is. The section for the laptop is very tight on a G752. The zipper will scratch the sides of the laptop when the back is moved. I use a neoprene cover for the laptop and then put it in the larger front section(kinda defies the point of a laptop bag as any backpack large enough would serve the same function)
