18 Inch Laptop Bag Briefcase Case fits up to 18.4 Inches Notebook Computer Waterproof Shockproof for Men Black

I bought this to use on my train trip to spring training. Although some reviews indicated that its padding was insufficient for protecting their laptop I found it more than enough. I was carrying very expensive high powered gamer and did not sling it around like a child’s toy. Lots of pockets for gadgets and cables. Shoulder pad was comfortable.

This laptop bag is sctually large enough to hold my 17.5" laptop, unlike the last one I ordered. This bag has room for my computer, and numerous accessories. It appears to be well made -- time will tell. It is light, as well. Amazon charged me more than the listed price,so beware of that, but they refunded the overcharged amount including sales tax when I called them. Buyers, look carefully at your shopping cart price again after you first complete the transaction!

I wanted a bag that would fit my Acer Predator G9 laptop, which is a 17 inch gaming laptop. The 18.4 inch bag does fit the laptop very well. I also wanted a bag that is water resistant. I have not tested just how water resistant it is, but I have confidence that it will do well in a light shower provided that I have my umbrella with me.There is a pocket in front of and behind the main laptop compartment. The opening is only as wide as the carrying handles. The two pockets are span the width and height of the bag. It is a shame that the opening to the pocket is so small because you can't get a magazine or a file folder into the pockets, even though the pockets are big enough to fit those types of items. I guess the idea was that the top of the bag is stronger since the opening for the pockets are smaller. The third pocket, in the very front, with the little pockets that organize your smaller items is a bit lacking. There are three business card pockets, two pencil/pen slots, and a pocket that can fit a smaller phone (my Droid Turbo II does not fit). This phone pocket could hold a CD case, with half of the CD case sticking out. I was very tempted to dock a star off for the deficiencies of the pockets. However, I decided to only dock a star off for padding...The front and back of the laptop compartment is padded pretty nicely. I feel quite comfortable carrying my laptop in this case, except for one thing. The bottom of the case has almost no padding. There is a layer of the outer nylon mater. Then, there is a strip of padding about 3/4 wide (measured from the front of the bag to the back) that is underneath where the laptop goes. I can easily grab onto this strip with my finger and thumb. The chances of the laptop getting seated on top of this strip are basically nill. I think it's laughable that this is what the manufacturer thought would be sufficient padding for a laptop that requires an 18.4 inch bag. So, I decided to add padding to the bottom of the bag.I purchased 3/4 inch pipe insulation and a high density 1/4 inch thick rubber padding for laminate floors. I cut the pipe insulation down to the length of the bag. Then, I cut the insulation in half, making two semi-circles. I put these side by side and taped them together, forming a sort of "m" shape. Then, I put a layer of the high density rubber padding over the top of the pipe insulation and taped the two together.The padding fits quite nicely in the bottom of the bag. When I put my laptop in the bag, it was tight. I had to learn the best way to handle the bag and the laptop in order to get the zipper to close. Basically, I push down on the laptop, squeezing the padding. Then I slip the front lip of the bag over the two corners of my laptop. So, at this point, one side of the zipper is over the laptop. As I continue pushing down on the laptop, it is now relatively easy to zip the zipper up on either side. Before I figured out this technique, I tried to just use force to zip the zipper up. Bad idea. The zipper is a fairly light duty zipper and can easily get misaligned. So, I ended up with a gap in the zipper, which made it hard to unzip. Then, some of the teeth were a little bent, causing two teeth to not want to interlock when zipping it up. So, I got in there with my finger nail and nudged the teeth back into position. The case zips up properly now. The zipper should not be this flimsy. It's pretty sorry really.In the end, if one is careful with the zipper and adds padding to the bottom, then this is a pretty nice bag that I believe will protect a laptop. Since, my main concern was protecting the laptop and since my research indicated that all (or at least most) of the bags out there are lacking in bottom padding, I do recommend buying this bag. I would prefer to give it 3.5 stars. I feel that 3 stars might deter someone from buying a bag that really should be considered, so I'm giving four stars. But I am doing so... reluctantly...

I haven't put my laptop in this bag yet, but, just by touching and feeling it, you can tell that it is a very good quality bag! I buy cases for everything! I have a case for my Macbook Air, and I am not as satisfied with it as I am with this bag for my Alienware. If I would have bought this one first, I would have looked for one for my Macbook too!

This is the perfect bag if you have a giant 18"+ laptop like the Alienware M18 but don't want to spend $100+ on a backpack or satchel. It has more than enough room for the laptop, mouse, charger, and room to spare for HDMI cables, paperwork, etc.

I have purchased and returned other laptop bags because they were either too large, too large, falling apart, not enough compartments, etc. This is perfect for my travel needs and holding my 17.3" laptop. Though it is small enough to accomadate 15.6 laptops as well. I didn't want a bag too large since I sometimes carry my laptop bag inside my larger travel bag when switching hotels so this fits nicely. I like to stay organized so the multiple compartments store different things such as my wiring, headphones, mouse, etc. Even if this wears out I will buy another as I am happy with this purchase.

I've been looking for a laptop bag that is affordable for a long time. This one finally fit the bill! (and my laptop) Lots of good padding and pockets.
