Hands On: Alienware Orion Backpack
Posted in: Today's Chili, Travel
I gravitate towards backpacks to carry my tech equipment. We have a casual environment at PC Labs, so backpacks don’t look out of place on the backs of analysts and editors. We also need space to carry mobile devices, paperwork, and the accouterments of tech journalism.
The Alienware Orion Backpack (Scanfast) by MobileEdge is a packhorse of a bag. Sure, it’s not exactly svelte, but it will fit at least two full-size laptops plus all their accessories. In a particularly masochistic test, I stuffed two multimedia laptops and two nettops into the cavernous interior along with all four power adapters. The bag claims to fit 17.3-inch laptops, and I was able to confirm that and more. I was able to close the zippers easily and still had room for a few mobile phones, those chargers, and a press kit or two. It’s almost cartoonishly cavernous, like Felix the Cat’s Magic Bag or Wakko Warner’s Wacky Sack.
