  Will it fit a 2011 17" Macbook pro?

    Yes. If you google the dimensions of the above Dells you will see they are huge. They aren't small and sleek like the MBP. The Apple 17inches I think were the smaller 17inch laptops

      Agreed. I think this bag is really for those who have the larger 17" laptops which can't fit in normal 17" laptop bags/cases.

    Good question.

    idk on this particular one, but I was very disappointed when I last bought a Dell laptop backpack, Targus-made, but zips failed quickly, shoulder straps went all ropey etc.

      Without having owned a Vindicator backpack myself, I feel the Alienware brand products typically have been of a much better quality than the standard Dell-branded fare. I have received a few 'free' Dell branded backpacks over the years but compared to what the Vindicator claims on it's features/quality/specs, I think they have positioned this one a bit differently.

      That being said, key purchase reason for this backpack is if you have a huge Alienware laptop and realised that it's a challenge to find bags which can accommodate them - even my Alienware 15R3 is too big to fit in most bags.

  Very happy with the backpack. Has so many compartments and fits the 15R3 with ease!

    did you get the 17"?

    I have a 13" Macbook and wondering if getting the 17" backpack would be too big/better value vs the 14"

      Yep got the 17" as normal laptop bags won't fit an Alienware 15R3 laptop (it's deeper than normal due to the hinge design).

      IMO if you have a small laptop, there is no need to buy the Alienware laptop bag as it will dwarf your laptop. You also probably would get better value from non-Alienware branded products - eg. Targus Seoul backpack (this is what I used to use for my other Dell laptop).

      Further, since you have a Macbook, there are heaps of accessories which have confirmed compatibility/fit with your laptop (one of the things I miss about having a Macbook) making buying accessories which specifically fit your device that much easier.
