Good Protection and Comfortable
With an investment in a gaming laptop made I figured it would be a good idea to also invest in a carry bag that offered more than just portability. This bag offers both protection and comfort. There is a super padded compartment for the laptop which eases my mind as well as multiple well designed / layed out compartments to use for all the extras I need to carry with me; external drive, USB cable, power cord and all that jazz. Very happy with this bag.

I don't even own an alienware, but this is awesome
Pack looks like it is bullet proof. Tons of protection for my HP laptop even without an individual sleeve. Got this backpack on sale and don't think I'll need anything else for years. Plenty of room in every compartment. Can fit monstrous laptops. Fits all my school books, a mouse, controller, headset, and more. Not a scratch on the laptop either.

Perfect companion for the Alienware 17 R4
I purchased this backpack to transport my Alienware 17R4 laptop and the associated gear I carry with it. The backpack is well made and fits very nicely with the laptop for a cohesive aesthetic. There are 3 major compartments within the bag and those are further segregated with pockets and dividers for all of your smaller gear. There is a pouch inside the bag meant to contain your power supply and that works nicely, eliminating that wire clutter. I current have my Alienware 17 R4 laptop and power supply, Razer DeathAdder mouse, and Sennheiser GAME Zero headset case in the bag and it isn't even beginning to fill the available space. I feel I could comfortably carry another sizable laptop, a tablet such as iPad, as well as several more mice and headsets in an organized setup. More reasonably though, you might wish to use some of the extra space to carry a change of clothes and toiletries in the likely event you will gaming at a friends house well into the morning with your complete gaming travel package. I was a bit hesitant at first to buy a Alienware branded bag to house my expensive gaming gear given that it tends to advertise you are hauling some desirable goods. That is a choice you will have to make for yourself when considering where you plan to travel with it. Personally, I am going to friends houses where I don't anticipate being among thieves. Having this tailor made solution for hauling my gaming gear was worth it to me and I really do love the way it looks. It's got function in spades, with a bonus of being very stylish as well. I picked the bag up on sale for around $87 which I think is perfectly fair for what you are getting. The target demographic is very much owners of large Alienware laptops, so it likely won't be for everyone.

Great backpack for 17” R4
I was looking for a backpack that would fit my Alienware 17” R4. After a great deal of searching, this was the only one that would fit my laptop. It isn’t really my style, but it works. My biggest complaint is the lack of a decent water bottle storage area. The net that comes out of the bag is extremely tight, even for small bottles. There is not a great deal of space, but it is designed well. The quality is tremendous. Despite not being my style, I am quite happy with my purchase.

Vindicator 2.0 Laptop Backpack
This is an amazing bag. Huge but it does what it needs to do. It fits my 17R4. There are a ton of pockets and sections for storage, and the cool little pouch that's included is perfect for the charging cable, mouse, etc. It has padding in the bottom of the bag so that when you set it down you don't have to worry about it being hurt or dented and which I really like about this backpack. I highly recommend this to anyone that is looking for a good long lasting bag.
