This review is for the 17" V2.0 vindicator backpack
This backpack is huge! It takes up an entire seat of my car! It fit my Alienware 17r4 perfectly and in fact has so much extra room that I could probably fit multiple laptops in it if I wanted too. It comes with a small bag that is made of a rubber mesh, it fits the charger brick and cords perfectly and fits nicely in the bottom of the middle pocket. There are probably 7-10 pockets that I have found and they range from the size of a small laptop to the size of a few USB sticks. Speaking of, the front section has lots of pencil, USB, and note card sized slots and pockets that fit all of my school gear perfectly. The middle devider unzips and can be taken out to make the 3 seperate slots into the front and a gigantic back. It fit about 5 liters of tea plus a laptop ,headphones, machete and a few twinkies. You may be wondering how I know this and its because my friend has this backpack too and he always loads up before we go take over a Starbucks for 4 hours at a time. Since I got this backpack ALL of my gaming buddies have also bought one for either regular backpack useage or to transport their gaming laptops to Starbucks too. Since I use this for school as well as laptop transportation its perfect as it can hold all of that stuff at once. It is made of a hard plastic for the front panel and the rest is a stiff yet flexible nylon or some other synthetic fabric. The part that rests against your back as well as the handle are made of neoprene with what feels like Lycra covering it since its so slick, and i mean non abrasive not good looking, which in person it looks pretty nice though since its not super flashy.
There is just so much I love about this backpack and I probably havent covered everything about it so here is a quick summary of its pros and cons and also a list of stuff I usually put in it.
Pros:
way too many pockets and slots to put stuff
lots of room for even 18" laptops
durable
a really good regular backpack for school
Cons:
about the size of a child
reeks of neoprene (at least for a while)
gets hot and makes your back sweat if worn for a long time in a hot place
gets lots of attention (maybe not a con for everybody but it also means it attracts thieves, someone TRIED to steal mine for the laptop)
I have been able to put an alienware 17r4, a desktop GPU in its box, headphones, 4 mice, a laptop cooling pad, a mouse pad. the charger, all of my USB sticks, a pack of cards, 2 liters of tea, an ice axe, a desktop power supply, and a power strip. It had lots more room but I ran out of stuff to bring along that we actually would need for our trip.
