    Hello there i have created this thread to seek some help with my new backpack
    I am asking for help if anyone knows if the Targus Citygear will be able to hold an Alienware M17x that I am getting soon.
    The specs that is said that came with the bag are of the following:

    Exterior Dimensions
    15' x 9.5" x 18.75"
    (38.1 x 24.13 x 47.63 cm)

    Interior Dimensions
    15.25" x 1.69" x 11.81"
    (38.74 x 4.19 x 26.67 cm)

    On the Alienware website it states that the laptop is 17.3"

    It would be highly appreciated if anyone that has this bag to let me know if the huge laptop fits anywhere in the bag (besides the strap part as the whole world will be able to see it)
    Thanks for your time
    And have a great day
    :)

    Probably won't fit, dimensions of laptop are larger than interior ones.

    System Dimensions
    Height: 44.5 mm (1.75 inches)
    Depth: 304.30 mm (11.97 inches)
    Width: 410 mm (16.14 inches)
    Starting at weight: 4.26 kg (9.39 lbs)*

    No worries, any desktop replacement style laptop will have issues fitting into a laptop bag, it could fit, but it would be really tight squeeze possibly. But don't let your bag dictate which laptop you buy though! Gotta be the other way round :wideeyed:

    No offence.
    But Alienware Orion M17x backpack by MobileEdge on Amazon costs about $65 only. The price is near that of Jansport one. BTW, I don't know what's difference between the one by MobileEdge and that by Dell online; could anyone tell me the difference?
