Even if you don’t have one of those super-powerful Alienware M18x, M17x, M14x, or M11x gaming laptops, you can still carry your all of your gear in style. Mobile Edge has released two new Alienware branded bags, the Orion Messenger and the Tactical Backpack …

For the M11x, there are two durable cases offered. The sleek M11x Neoprene Sleeve has easy access carrying handles and an outside zippered compartment for accessories. The semi-rigid M11x Portfolio is ideal for travel with a unique design that allows you to use the laptop while still inside the case. The all new M14x has three case options which include the M14x Neoprene sleeve, the Orion Messenger Bag and Orion Backpack. Both the Messenger Bag and Backpack are ScanFast™ and TSA compliant, so your gaming system will remain safe and secure when going through airport security checkpoints. The most powerful portable gaming system on the planet, the M18x needed a case that not only provided protection but was strong enough to handle the additional weight of the 18” laptop. Mobile Edge used special materials and reinforced stress points to compensate for the weight of the goliath M18x, yet still make it comfortable to travel with on a daily basis. Both the Orion Messenger Bag and Backpack are ScanFast™ and TSA compliant ready for enhanced mobility.

In addition to the new Orion collection cases, Mobile Edge is introducing a special edition Tactical Backpack for the best selling M17x laptop. The new Tactical Backpack will feature a unique ‘night’ camo pattern and contain all the features of the standard Orion Backpack.

And jeez … an 18″ laptop? I am sure that the graphics are fab and the machine is a beast, but if a laptop has an 18″ screen, would you still want to carry it around — much less put it on your lap?! Inquiring minds want to know.

 

We’ll be visiting with Mobile Edge while here at CES, but in the meantime, you can find the entire line of Alienware gaming laptop cases at Dell.comMobileedge.com, or at Alienware resellers. The M14x Orion Backpack (AWBP14) will retail for $99.99, the M14x Orion Messenger Bag (AWMC14) for $99.99, the M18x Orion Backpack (AWBP18) for $119.99, and the M18x Orion Messenger Bag (AWMC18) for $119.99.
