Why we cut this one
Alienware x17 R2/m17 R5 Gaming Laptop — that is the machine this one was measured against. the cut follows one machine, not a size bracket, and the outside stays flat enough to slide into a locker or an overhead bin.
The point of cutting this pattern tight to the Alienware x17 R2 is simple: The lining is brushed rather than woven rough, so the lid does not pick up a haze of fine scratches over a year. Nothing moves, so nothing wears a mark into the corner of the lid.
Pack the Alienware x17 R2, then a notebook, a pen and a card wallet, and the elite-black shell still closes flat — the pocket was sized after the machine, not before it.
The Elite-Black finish is what this listing is in 17.3 inch — it was measured against Alienware x17 R2/m17 R5 Gaming Laptop.
