When I first bought this I was ecstatic. It has all the pockets and organization that I expected and needed. I travel a lot for work so the whole scan fast thing is a must for me. Unfortunately this also means that I use it all the time. And that's how the shoulder strap broke off while walking through the airport. Even worse, this happened about 4 months after I bought the thing. I even tried just carrying the thing by the handles after that. Now (about another 4 months later) even the handles are breaking off of it. When I pay for quality I expect just that. I guess all I really payed for was that little alien head on the front. And I payed too much for that. Don't waste your money.
The M18x is one of the largest and heaviest laptop computers on the market. The M18x fits snugly into the messenger bag. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not appear to have strengthened the stitching to enable the bag to support the weight of the M18x and power supply during routine travel. I purchased my M18x in August 2011 along with the messenger bag. The first messenger bag lasted about 2 weeks before the shoulder strap separated from the bag due to its inability to support the weight of the M18x and power supply. I returned the bag to Amazon and received a new one. The new bag lasted about 3 weeks before one of the carrying handles snapped off while I was going through airport screening. I have now returned this second bag to Amazon and am seeking a replacement bag for my M18x.
Unless the manufacturer strengthens the stitching to accommodate the M18x and power supply, stay away from this bag.

This bag is horrible. The handles broke after a month of use. The shoulder strap is still in tact--but barely. I was led to believe that this bag was made for the Alienware 18-inch laptop, but clearly the quality is NOT up to par. DO NOT BUY THIS BAG! I am very disappointed to learn that I will only get a partial refund when I return this bag. :( GRRRR!!After only three months of dealing with mobileedge and HP I once again have a working laptop and a new bag. I wouldn't have had to deal with Hp if my laptop didn't break partly due to the poor construction of the bag.I had no idea how poorly their laptop bag was constructed until after comparing it to some other name brands, and other quite cheap bags.
The problem is not the quality of the materials but failure of design on the various points which will carry the weight such as the shoulder strap connections, shoulder-strap and from what I read the handle itself. I would be less upset if this had occurred after 12 18 months, but less than four weeks?
If you do much travel or have an 18" laptop then the current M18x is not for you. Or to put it another way, it is like a high performance sports car with safety belts made of string cheese.

I love this bag it fits my M18x perfectly and has plenty of room for my accessories and documents. I have gone through TSA inspection points at several airports both in the US and abroad and have only had to zip open the case and lay it flat on the inspection belt. It also has a great pass through pocket that lets me place it on my roller bag, that laptop is heavy approx 18 lbs with the power supply, I rather roll it than carry it.Save 34% Off
