Why do you cancel the G7 order? I'm still waitting for it but received the email saying it will be delaied until 20/2.
For reference, ordered one on 20/Jan and received yesterday.
You're one of the lucky ones.
I also ordered on 20/1 (quite early in the day I might add) and mine has also been delayed until 20/2.
@lovesabargain77: I ordered later after it was closed and reopened and mines been delayed to the 21st.
@ShaneC71: Whats the difference between a gaming backpack and a normal backpack with a laptop compartment?
@Bryanalves: “Gamer” look, some compartments for gaming equipment and this one has a shock absorbing shell in case the bag falls off the table or something. It’s also water resistant and has a pull out cover to completely keep the inside dry from rain
@ShaneC71: What's the status of your order?
Mine was ordered 22/1 and just progressed to "Confirmed - In Production" yesterday.
@zobragin: Mine has been "Confirmed - In Production" since day 1. Original date was around the 10th of Feb. I hate waiting for new toys. My gaming machine for the last 4 years is a Surface 4 pro i5. So looking forward to playing modern games and VR on it!
Mine has been "Confirmed - In Production" since day 1.
Sigh….then i'll be expecting a delay email from Dell eBay shortly as well… :''''(
@zobragin: My order just updated to "Build Complete - Preparing for Transportation"
The delivery date is still the 21st though. So not getting my hopes up to much, just a little bit…..
My order just updated to "Build Complete - Preparing for Transportation"
That's awesome :)
….meanwhile I just received the dreaded "delay" email :'''''(. Delivery date = 27/2
@ShaneC71: Ooooh…..order just updated to "Build Complete - Preparing for Transportation"….:)
@lovesabargain77: Did you order status just change to "Build Complete"??
@zobragin: The Status on the bar says Build Complete. The Status label in the text below is "Build Complete - Preparing for Transportation"
@zobragin: No, it's still listed as 'In Production'
Estimated delivery still showing 20/2
@lovesabargain77: Order updated to Shipped with a Status of "Shipped - In transit to local hub"
Delivery Date now just says "Order Shipped"
@ShaneC71: Thanks for the update Shane.
Mine also has the same status.
Next step - wait for tracking number@lovesabargain77: If Dell doesn't update you with a tracking number, you should be able to check it yourself using this link
- Select "by Customer Reference",
- Select "Sales Order No." in the Reference Type drop down list
- Enter your Dell order number.
EDIT: Mine hasn't arrived at the local transit hub in Hoxton NSW yet, so there won't be any tracking information showing.
@zobragin: Thank you for your info.
I just checked and showing as below
Shipment Date: 2020/02/10 22:45 (+11:00) Place of Loading: HoxtonPark ,NSW
Does it mean it had been dispatched from HoxtonPark on 10/2? But until today there is no any update yet.
@go2home: Please see this thread on how to check you consignment number.
All going well, they should be getting delivered early next week.
Trying to cut spending mostly. Plus I have an Xbox one X that I'm very happy with.
Anyone know where to buy a good laptop case/bag for that latest E595 ThinkPad. I assume a lot of people bought it and now want a bag for it…
FWIW Dell/Alienware branded laptop bags are usually pretty good quality, but I find them pretty bulky and ended up not enjoying using any of them (note: not this specific deal's bag). If you are a fan of the design/look/aesthetic then it's a good bag, but I ended up switching to something more generic/subtle (Bobby Bizz) for when I'm out and about.
I found the xiaomi backpack (the 17 litre one) was a good minimalist size one. The advantage these give is super thick padded compartments, and probably more pockets. But day to day the xiaomi one was lighter. Even the crumpler one while it is awesome, is like 1.75kg before you add anything.
Thanks for the infos. I was about to get it but concerns about net weight .
Will modern games run on this backpack?
Yes but it is limited to 30FPS so if that is a dealbreaker for you consider looking elsewhere
It won't run Crysis at 60FPS.

Thankyou OP!
I was really needing to find one of these for Uni :)
dang was hoping this had the strap for hooking onto luggage handles
What strap is that. Looking for a TSA lockable bag. AliExpress has a fair few
its like a belt strap for strapping onto suitcases with the extendable handles
This deal on catch is better. Actual price is $99, getting for $24
https://m.catch.com.au/product/agva-basics-15-6-inch-corpus-…Actual price is $99
Don't believe everything you see.
And don’t ever believe any RRP …
don't even mention rrp here, should be taboo
There are lots of bags for 15" laptops, not so many for 17".
thanks! ordered this one
That's an entirely different bag??
I purchased the one he linked. pls don't downvote him.
That does not look weather proof
Not sure why you got downvoted but wanted to say thanks for sharing that deal. Just picked mine up today and it's perfect for my needs. Lightweight. Decent padding. Non descript design. The strap for hooking on suitcases. etc. etc. Thanks!!!
Ive been using this bag for uni for about a year. It's pretty good for me
I get almost 50% more kills in Fortnite when I wear this.
I get killed 50% more in Fortnite because I'm distracted by this.
Does this work with Toshiba laptops?
Only after latest driver update or you'll see an "unknown device" error…
Yes, agreed. However you will struggle to find the right driver :)
No. Dell only.
Would this be a good bag to house a camera?
ShopBack listed Dell as "Temporary Unavailable", and CashRewards listed 0% cashback.
So no cashback for this deal?
This is my go-to carry-on bag for travelling abroad. This bag can take a beating and still keep the contents safe. Got mine for free with an Alienware laptop, but I'd be happy to pay this price for the bag.
Oh and it has a deployable rain cover at the bottom of the bag! :D
can i see 'raincover' in action
How can this be a gaming backpack when there are no RGBz!?
There's Red Black and Grey.
Now plus my comment.
Thanks OP! was looking to replace my old backpack and now ordered this :) Although the largest laptop I have is 14" :D :D
No RGB. No deal.
Why no deal?
It is RGB, Red Grey Black :)I was joking jeezus
dammit u bet me
Like if you missed this one https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/497912 hahaha
Thanks OP, bought one. My biggest laptop is only 13" but hoping the extra protection would be helpful using for Carry on luggage, plus keeping things safe while motorcycling…
So it's a gaming backpack - anyone know how well this handles overclocking?
This would usually be air cooled, but maybe with occasional water cooling…must be mistaken, theres no RGB lighting so its not fit for gamers
Apparently talking overclocking is downvote material but talking RGB is allowed…
Looking at purchasing one for my husbands Alienware, but he isn’t very fond of this one. Can someone suggest some brands I can purchase?
Thanks!Edit: ended up buying this!
Edit: ended up buying this!
haha.
Check out Everki bags, they are solid.
Good backpack, had it for about a year and its in built rain coat cover thing in the bottom has saved my laptop at least twice from brisbane storms. Could be a little larger in depth if im nit picking but a great bag none the less. Side drink pcockets can cater to thick protein shakers and the like as well.
no love for 14" ? 😔
Does anyone know why Shopback / Cashreward doesnt have Dell anymore for their cash back ?
Order has been delayed.
CR cashback is back, 4.9% for accessories

Your order has been delayed again. Your order is very important to us and we intend to ship it as soon as possible. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience.
i missed out on this deal but got one for $53 on amazon delivered. still not too bad but not a super bargain.
I'd rather pay the extra $10 and have had it in hand, rather than the 2 week delay. I actually need a laptop bag to use for work, and so with 2x delays so far I'd have rather had it in hand. Shame Amazon now have it for $79 or I'd cancel the Dell order.
If you're interested it's currently $60.04 at Amazon
https://www.amazon.com.au/Gaming-17-Inches-Backpack-Black-46…
Yeah, had my eye on it. I'll ring Dell when I get home from work and ask them what the story is, (the newest date for it to "arrive" is Monday, and since they haven't shipped it… )
So I'll likely cancel the Dell order and get the Amazon one.@Scipio: Any word from Dell?
Mine arrived today! Ordered 2
Arrived today. Very pleased. Cheers OP.
Great price. I paid $60 2 weeks ago in anticipation of my new Dell g7 17 laptop that I ended up cancelling…
