Alienware Horizon Bags - Utility and Commuter (AW523P & AW423P) 

I bought the Alienware Horizon Utility backpack directly from Dell (I guess that's the only place currently where you can buy it) and can safely say that this bag is really nice and comfortable. Very large and spacious main cabin but wanted to touch on a couple of things that I may concern buyers about this bag: 1. Couldn't they have made the inside a lighter colour? Would have made it a lot easier to see items in a dimly lit environment if it had RGB lighting installed like their laptops. (I kid but at least give it a lighter shade of black) 2. The water bottle stretchy pocket on the side is way too shallow to hold anything larger than 17 liters. 3. The laptop compartment or sleeve could've used a velcro strap to securely keep your gear from sliding out just in case. Other than those nitpicks, this is a solid day to day backpack which I can bring into an office environment and not be looked upon as a gaming gig bag. The construcion is well made, zippers are smooth and the pockets inside and out are nicely made. Lastly, the bag will stand up on it's own which is great.

Thank you so much for the review, I'm going for the utility! Dell should give you a commission 👍🏼

The alienware horizon commuter does look more useful, but it is ugly lol. I guess I'm now realizing I'm a bit of a backpack nerd lmao. I like them just big enough to hold my x15 and with enough space for work binders and maybe a mouse, water bottle etc. without being too deep. It shouldn't be protruding too far behind me

Went with Utility and it is AWESOME. Thanks for the awesome vids, easily my new fav tech youtuber.

Can the horizon commuter protect your stuffs from the rain?

Thank you so much for these! There is no other review of these products (that I know of). This is super helpful!

Are these Backpacks any good when it comes to protecting the laptop from the bottom? The front, back, and the top all looked great, just curious if my laptop will be fine if I accidentally dropped my backpack

I don't like Alienware laptops because their horrible cooling design, but their backpacks design are always on point. Alienware backpacks are never disappointed. I just wish Alienware make their logo hidden and not easy to see. The logo just scream please steal me. I'm carrying expensive stuff in this backpack.

Great review of Alienware Horizon Bags... Regards.. :-)

Too bad you didn’t use an X17 to show how it would fit. I’m sure most people have an X17 than 15 and 14. We now just have to take your word that X17 fits.

Very helpful reviews of the Alienware bags, especially comparing all four bags thanks!

I went with the Travel based on your past review. Fits the X17 R1 beautifully! I ordered both the Travel and the Utility, but ultimately needed more space. Thanks for your vids, mate! As always, great reviews!

Heyy!! I'm curious if you would be reviewing the ROG strix scar 15 with i9 12900h and rtx 3080ti anytime soon or not?😁....Cheerio!! Enjoy ur videos a lot tho🤩

In the backpack AW523P fits an Alienware Area 51m R2

Agree the second bag is my choice too. Utility bag

Gee, in my country, the Travel is 30% cheaper than the Utility!

Thanks, very useful review! I bought the commuter yesterday and your review has helped me know I made the right choice. I was torn between the commuter and utility but won't be needing the extra space that the utility has. The utility I feel it's the more aesthetically pleasing of them all!

Did the commuter fit the M17 R2? Sorry I couldn’t hear very well- thanks!🎉

Glad I waited for this review. Utility is for me

Do you have a list of options for the M18 laptops? Suprises that's the only one I find looks weird and not clean and simple. Been trying to find a sleeve for it.

Thank you for you Vid. I dislike the top handle, it cuts into my hand with filled backpack. How is your take on that?

Is there any bag you would recommend for the 51M ? I can't find any for my big trips. Thank you

hey does the utility backpack fit the m18r2? thanks

Would this bag fit an R2 15? I want to change my Vindicator

can i fit there my 17.3 gigabyte aorus 17g XD model ?

Question about the Utility Bag: Is there enough padding to protect any accessories say a keyboard or headset from damage when you put the bag on the floor? I know there’s enough padding for a laptop that fits in the main compartment but I’m curious because I want to keep my gear protected. Thank you!

Does the MSI GE 76 fit into the utility back? Thank you! 👍

hello Mash IT, may i ask the net weight of aw523p and aw423p ? if they have small gap , i will buy the 523, otherwise consider the 423 because the m16 is pretty heavy, want to make the balance with backpack :)

does it fit alienware m18? Any idea where can i geta bag that will fit alienware M18 laptop???

What's sad is now the communter is no longer available except on eBay :( What bag would you recommend for someone who likes to game but has the X14?

Hi Mash IT! Nice distribution of information.. Does the Alienware Area 51m fits the Horizon Utility Backpack? Thank you for answering.

Would the commuter be a good fit for a 5'2 gal?

Great review on all bags. Except I just got m18 and it seems there are no current Alienware bags that it fits in? :( Have we heard if one is coming that will fit?

Hi thanks for this info it’s really helpful, can you tell me if the travel backpack have enough space for the Alienware M15 R7

Just returned the Commuter because my X17 R2 didn't fit properly - really tight and the zip was catching on the corners. The Travel bag looks too big for me. Is the Utility any better than the Commute? Think it only needs an extra centimetre over the Commute for it to fit perfectly. Could just be a badly stitched bag of course.

thank u for the review it's quite clear and i love to buy Horizon Utility backpack. but does area 51m R2 fit in the Horizon Utility backpack? Please

sorry one more question. I have the vindicator 2.0 17 inch and would like a more compact bag. Is the commuter noticeably smaller?

Thanks for doing these reviews. Would be cool if you did some for bags from alternative brands ✌️

Utility bag has no drink holders? Are we taking crazy pills?

Very thorough, great video. Thanks! I agree with you, I like the bag with the outside pockets.

would the m18 fit in the utility bag

Hello Sir David, thank you so much for the review. ^^ I am planning on picking one of these up in the future, though I would like to know, How is the water resistance of these backpacks? I am particularly interested in the Utility Backpack as well as the Travel Backpack, I would like to know how well those two bags could protect it's contents in the event that I would get caught out in heavy rain. Are the zippers water resistant? Would the laptop be safe even if I get caught in the rain?

Thanks I went with the Utility one, based on your video. Cheers

I really like the dell gaming backpack which fits the x17 r2 and a bunch of other stuff for half the price of the Alienware backpacks

Do you not get the microfiber cloth with the slim or the commuter? Little extras like that are big to me

I SEE YOU GOT THE X14 IN. i LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR REVIEW. WILL THE M17 r3 FIT IN THE SLIM BAG? ALSO, THE BACKPACK I PURCHASED LAST YEAR CAME WITH A LITTLE ALIENWARE BAG FOR YOUR ACCESORIES. DO THESE NEW ONES COME WITH THAT?

is it big enough for a ps5 ?

Excellent review, those bags are perfect for traveling, but backpacks are not so elegant compared to a shoulder bag. Do you have a recommendation for a shoulder bag that looks good to take to the office? For traveling hands down the backpack, the freedom is awesome, but for the office, something a bit less school boy look. Thanks

Great review @Mash IT ! Have been eyeing Horizon Utility bag, and it's looking like a winner, by the way wanted to ask if the laptop sleeve is suspended (did not hit the bottom of the bag) ?

Just bought the utility bag too as its on discount. Thanks for the review.

Again, another great review! I bought the utility backpack.

Si cabe la Área 51?

fantastic vid, and nice touch having all four at the end! you rock :)

Excelente reseña, saludos.

More lights on Bags bro

any of those fit area 51m?

Will AW523P fit Alienware Area-51m R2 with its 2 chargers?

Does the utility bag fit the m17 alienware ?

isnt this the same thing as the video u just did a little while ago?

Hi, any plan about X14?

Great video thank you

thanks, earned a sub

What is the carabiner for?

X14 review pleeassseeee

The utility is just trash, if your shoulder is not perfectly flat, it will press so hard on your shoulder like a thin line.

First😅
