I got a new msi ge72 17.3 inch laptop and it is great besides on how it cannot fit into most backpacks. I need this laptop to go to school and work everyday so will will be carrying a big laptop with me for 10 hrs. this laptop could not fit into any ordinary backpack so I bought a rosewill backpack and it was way to huge.it looks like I'm carrying a mountain backpack to school and its quite embarrassing and unusual. do you guys think a 15.6 inch laptop would fit in an ordinary backpack that's not so big? or do I need to buy a 13 inch laptop to fit. do you guys bring 17.3 inch laptops to school/work? if so I would need suggestions for a smaller looking backpack that holds 17.3 inch laptops before I return this one and buy myself a smaller laptop.
