    I have one and (other than the fact that's it's pretty much bigger than I am) it's a great bag and fits the m15X beautifully! I personally would go with the messenger bag, but if you've got a lot to carry then go for it!

    I think messenger bag is not good for your health due to the weight of your alienware. Even with the backpack it is so heavy to carry my laptop around

    How sturdy are those? The Targus I have folds all over the place.

    I wouldn´t buy a alienware backpack just because everybody out there knows u have one^^
    Its like you put a notice on the back of your pants with ( i got money inside come and steal it )

    but to the topic: yes sure it will fit, you also can use an eastpak walker backpack which fits perfectly

    I have to agree with esco - buying an Alienware bag means giving an additional reason for it to be snatched off you in the bus, underground etc. A lot of bags will accommodate an m15x - I use a 20£ Targus backpack. Btw a messenger bag will give you no love when your laptop alone weighs almost 5kg.

    If you want a stylish messenger bag that will fit your M15x, I would recommend any of the Superdry Haversack messenger bags (the laptop bags they have are quite expensive).

    Superdry Bags - Mens Bags, Satchels, Courier Bags & Designer Bags

    I can fit the M15x, it's power brick, a mouse, a mousepad, a notebook and an xbox 360 controller into it.
