    The new Orion backpack came out a few weeks ago, and we all assumed that a messenger bag was to follow. I was looking at the Alienware website today and came across this: http://www.alienware.com/accessories/gear-shop-Detail.aspx?ItemId=17094&CatId=1288

    Specs:

    Color: Black
    Exterior Dimensions: 14” x 20” x 5.5”
    Device Compatibility: 19.1" x 13.25" x 3"
    Weight: 2.85 lbs.

    It looks alright (I prefer the backpack) but it just screams 'There is something expensive in here' to me.


    I need to buy myself a new laptop bag soon, as my trusty backpack I've had since grade nine has a hole in the bottom. :(

    wow its a chrome alien head. sparkle that into a potential theif's eyes and you know what will happen :rolleyes: That bag is a big too big. Too bad they dont have side compression straps. it will make it look like theres less stuff in there and make it look like you dont have a very good laptop in it.

    use some of your great sewing skills to patch up your broken bag. if a theif sees that he wont even bother robbing you :D

    That messenger bag looks very, very sexy. I would definitely wave some money at that and expect it to dance. But... you're right... it does scream "steal me".

    Hi,
    It's definitely a nice looking bag. Don't not buy it because you think it may possibly get stolen, or that it's too flashy. Just simply watch it better. I don't think anyone is going to steal it if you've got your arm wrapped around it. And if they try to take it at gun point, there's obviously bigger issues to worry about lol.
