> 3 dayThis bag looks great and seemed to be of solid construction when I first got it. With what Id consider medium use and very light travel duty (as a carry on) the stitching attaching one side of the handle completely ripped free. I had a tailor restitch it with heavy duty thread and its fine again now. Padding does protect my Alienware and the various compartments are well laid out and useful. I wouldnt steer anyone away from this bag neccessarily but its not a must have either if you can find another bag that will suit your purposes.

20-12-2024Its suppose to fit a 17.5 inch Alienware lap top but it doesnt. The back part of the lap top is a little wider and its a very tight fit when I put it in the bag.

> 3 dayI bought this for my Alienware M17xr4. Many of the reviews were talking about how big this is, and how there is soo much extra space that they wont use... I have the opposite feeling. Once I load up the laptop, the charger, mouse pad, mouse, and xbox controller, there is almost no room to put anything else in. and the only non requirement that Im packing is the xbox controller. There are tons of unused pockets, but the whole bag feels super full and tight with just these few items packed. I am very mindful of the force that the bag is exerting on the top of the laptops screen. I feel that if I were to cram more in the bag there would be too much force on the top of the screen. The middle section of the bag has filing dividers which is where I stick the mouse pad. The front section has pockets that fit the mouse and charger, the controller fits in this big pocket. The pocket on the front of the bag is useless as it is too tight. The shoulder strap seems alright. Also, other reviews talk about how great the laptop protection is, but I feel quite the opposite. The laptop is in this clear tough pocket with seems to scuff the outside of the laptop with normal use. Also, I am not impressed with the amount of padding around the laptop. I believe that even an accidental drop of about 1 to 2 feet from your hand could damage the laptop with this minimal protection. Also if you stack anything on this bag your laptop screen could be smashed, especially if the pockets are loaded up, so keep it on your person, dont trust anyone else with this bag. I find it a little difficult to get my laptop in and out of the bag, I really dont like the laptop holding pocket, feels like junk. I wish there was an actual padded pocket for the laptop, instead you have a little pouch that is not padded. This is just my opinion. It does fit all of my stuff, just dont think that you will have all the storage in the world available to you, which is what some of the other reviews make it sound like. I bought this new, but still pretty cheap. I recommend getting this at a discount.

22-12-2024This is a very nice high quality bag designed specifically for the Alienware m17x. It has lots of pockets for everything you can carry. The build quality is very good and details like the alien heads on the zipper tabs are a nice touch. The only critique I can make about this bag is that the laptop compartment is a little tight making it difficult to get the computer in and out easily, but this is also due to the size and weight of the laptop itself. I recommend this bag if you own a m17x.

> 3 dayI love it. Granted, Ill look like a superannuated nerd when carrying this bag on vacation, but its big enough and organized enough to carry my 17.3 laptop, camera, all the accessories, the usual carry-on items, and all the necessities from my purse. What a joy it will be to lug only one item onto the plane. The bag seems to be very well made and Im not anticipating problems, but will update the review if any issues arise.

Greater than one weekI bought this for my fiance and he absolutely loves it! He has a pretty big laptop, a Dell 17 so I wanted to make sure I got a bag big enough. He loves this so much, it fits his wires, chargers, Ipad and Laptop and has such good padding for protection. Highly recommend.

> 3 dayIf it was only .5 wider for my 17r3.. it would fit perfectly. It fits but not much room for shock absorption

> 3 dayThis case carries stylishly and is very roomy. Fits my 17.3 inch laptop plus power cord, chill pad, gaming controller and headphones. Its heavy fully loaded but the shoulder strap is a big plus. This is the second time I purchased this item. The first case sold with my old Alienware m17x r4. 2 1/2 years the case lasted and held tough. Sager needs to make some with their logo. No negative things to say. Good deal all around.

> 3 dayAs we all know going through the airport checkpoints can be a hassle, juggling everything you have to take out or off, so anything to help with that process is worth it. The butterfly checkpoint section is great and helped expedite the process. Overall the bag seems very durable and plenty big enough for my large computer, portable keyboard, and paperwork. I only wish this size came with wheels.

> 3 dayI ordered this messenger bag for my husbands new Alienware computer. As it is a special size, it will not fit into normal computer bags. I looked on the bottom of the computer to find the computer size. Then, I looked for a bag made specifically for that size Alienware computer. This one perfectly fits the bill. It is heavily padded. There are lots of pockets to put specific items. My husband loves it!
