    Does anyone know who makes the backpack that came with my G2P?
    I would like to get a second one for my father-in-law.
    Thanks

    ASUS has always used Targus bags, but the G1/2 bags do not look familiar. Perhaps it's a custom ASUS bag.

    It's Targus for sure, as in the past, ASUS rebranded Targus bags(Has ASUS emblems, plates, zipper tags, etc.) It could be a custom ASUS-designed bag that Targus made.

    Kinda like the pre-Apple/ASUS MacBook contract, this Targus/ASUS contract :p

    Yup like the others said. Its Targus. i did the same search because i wanted one. On the Asus website, under accessories the bag should be listed.
    I was going to buy it, until i came across be-ez bags!

    They use Targus bags and Logitech mice, almost every time.

    I think that it is the best backpack out of everyone I have seen. I have on tote bag made by Tamarack that I carry both my SLR and computer, but it is tight.

    I don't think Targus sells it, only ASUS sells it because its a custom made bag designed by ASUS.
