Fits Alienware 17 R4 2017, Cooling Pad and Mini Lapdesk

I bought this after spending $150 on a case that didn't fit my Alienware 17 R4 2017 Edition. Since I only discovered this after the return period had expired, I looked for something cheaper. I thought this laptop needed the bag advertised for 18.4 and not 17.3 due to the extra inch on the back of the laptop for cooling. This bag does everything I wanted, firstly it's not your typical black and red (not fan red), not only does it fit my laptop in my bag, it also has room for my Notepal U3 Plus Cooling Pad and my iSkelter SlateGo. Mini 17.3 inch. Two zippered side pockets hold my adapter (separate) and a 12-button gaming mouse. I put my mouse pad in the front flat pocket and inside there is a mesh pocket that I use for my 12.2 Galaxy Note Pro. The mesh in the bag has enough space for a tablet with a thick hard leather case and tablet landscape. I wouldn't put anything in this bag, the small zipped pockets are quite tight and at this price point I don't think it would be very durable as the bag holds so much more only with what I put in it its beautiful shape.I deduct one star because one thing is very important to me as I take good care of my electronics, the laptop bag is too short When I slide it in there are a few centimeters open so that those inches are prone to scratches and dents from other large items in the bag (the cooler and laptop in my case). I think they should have added a few inches of extra padded fabric to the baffle to go through the velcro and cover the top of the laptop. As a temporary help I put the towel on the open edge. I plan to sew a strip of soft fabric this weekend. If I could give half a star I would only deduct half a star. I will update if something breaks in use.
