Dell Alienware 17 Vindicator 2.0 Backpack, Black (AWV17BP-2.0)

Good product but a bit expensive

Love the extra space for my laptop and other items i wpuld place in it.

Awesome

This backpack so far is great feeling. Seems like itll hold up, no issues with construction. A bit heavy but I like the padding since its to protect my laptop. It is a little narrow on the neck so if you have suuuper wide neck you might look for a different bag. This bag will be good for traveling and for taking to LAN parties. Not as in-your-face as it looks in pics, looks just like a normal school backpack if youre not familiar with Alienware. My issue with it.. is that the front (which is really nice thick rubbery weaved material) came all dented and beat up. Its a shame because it looks so cool to me and theres these dents and crevices in it that ruin the smooth look... Debating returning or switching for another, but maybe Ill just deal with it. Kinda bummed, because everything else is awesome. No stitching faults or anything. Those dents would not be easy to make, the material is thick, so it must have been crushed by something heavy.

It has a great space for the pc and much more. Unfortunately I received this $100 Pc with a tear in one of the inside pockets. I have contacted the seller and no response. Otherwise I’d have rated 5 starts. So far this is a 3.

Upon getting this, it didn’t take my long to realize this was not going to fit my extraterrestrial friend like I suspected. Feeling sad, I discovered that it worked perfectly with my Alienware R417 I had laying around. Well built, lots of room, great space allotment and sturdy construction. Definitely recommend this bag for your Alienware Laptop, just not your actual alien friends or pets as it won’t fit them.

Love the back pack although my alienware 17 r5 barely fits in it other than that its great.

Pros: The quality is top notch , stiches are thick and sturdy, lots of spaces and the feel is premium. Well padded and the zips looks thick and durable. No loose threads and the finishing is amazing. Cons: not lots, Front facing material is a bit delicate to scratches. Overall exceeded my expectations

I had another of this same bag that I purchased from Best Buy in 2018. It lasted 4 years before I started having problems with one zipper coming off the track and tearing the fabric which forced me to get another one. The difference in quality between the one I had previously from Best Buy and the one I just purchased this year in May 2022 from Amazon as a replacement is quite disappointing to say the least. After only having used it for about five months before the first zipper head came off with minimal effort while zipping the outermost pocket closed, the second one on the same pocket came off a week later. I contacted customer support and they agreed to let me send it back and get a replacement. I initially agreed to send it back and get another one, however, I found that the 17 bag is no longer available. So, I contacted customer support again and explained the situation. This time they agreed to give me a $10.00 store credit and to keep the bag, or to send it back for a full refund, but I need a bag in the meantime. So, I decided to keep the bag with the zipper heads missing and tied string to the ends of them so it can still be somewhat functional. However, now a third entire zipper from an interior pocket just came completely off the zipper track and I cannot get it back on. My options now are to keep the bag and use the $10 credit to order some type of zipper repair kit and fix it myself or send it back for a full refund and order a different more expensive bag that is available and can accommodate a 17 laptop. This is some of the worst quality I have ever experienced with Alienware products.

Only used it for travel once so far, but I packed a 17r4 laptop + power brick, a Wii + power brick, cables, controllers, a mouse, and some other things without any issue. Time will tell how it holds up, but it seems very durable and definitely fits a lot of things.
