Side by Side Comparison of: Asus vs AmazonBasics vs Corsair vs Lenovo

I started with a wish list of requirements and this laptop was one of maybe three or so that met all of them. I chose ASUS because my desktop is built around an ASUS ROG mobo which has performed beautifully for me so far.I wanted:SSD with empty bay for future expansion4 stars or higher rating8GB RAM mini7 processorGraphics card rated to run Windows 10 Game Bar for screen recordingCapable of 720p video editingLess than $900So far, I love it. Boots up in just over 10 seconds. Minimal bloatware to remove. Very smooth and quiet. Other reviews have mentioned not liking the screen, keyboard layout and trackpad but everything seems of good quality to me. For the price, this laptop is a beast. For the next step up in performance expect to add some serious $$. Cons: the webcam is average. Seems like a little weak compared to the rest of the components.

Asus K501UX 15 inch Gaming Laptop. Its fast, has long battery life even when gaming. Fallout 4 is amazing on this laptop. Sound seemed a little low at first but after adjusting the ICEaudio settings (DSP) that was corrected. The Screen is fine. I have no clue why others are complaining about this screen, mine is fantastic. Windows 10 display settings were set to 125% after correction the 1920x1080 screen gave me the expected real estate, icon size and font size. Boot time on this laptop is almost instant. Get your coffee first!

This laptop had one glaring issue, and I hope ASUS sees this and can research n fix. But it's an issue only geeks like me may come across. It still deserved 5 starts and I will speak of the issue first before telling you why you should get this laptop.Issue, there was a bug on certain 3d games (Fallout 4) being one of them, when the 3d engine loaded after the opening intro, the sound would not continue to play thru the HDMI port for large gaming TV's and so on. So the sound transferred over to the laptop speakers. I found a work around for the issue so this is now solved, however during my troubleshooting, I removed the sound driver from device manager. Here is where a huge issue developed. I could not reinstall it for the life of me. Even the sound drivers from this laptops own website would not work and kept getting code 10 in Device manager. The ONLY way to get my sound back was to reset the PC back to factory defaults, basicly reinstalling windows 10 again.This is huge cause this should not happen by removing any driver from device manager. You should be able to reinstall any driver, but the fact that the only sound driver on ASUS's website did not work, is shocking as that is the real issue. Techie FYI on this. :)Now the great news.Amazing game performance, I also know that a lot of "bench marking" tools do not correctly reflect the ability of mobile GPU's. Example Nvidia Geforce Experience detects Fallout 4 and says I need to run the game at low settings. Even Fallout game detects and recommends low settings. But I ignore these and run this game at ULTRA settings and do not have any slow downs.. fast as s****!The laptop battery life is amazing. When I take it on the road for meetings I now just leave my power supply at home. Now, I have never did a 3d game on the road, always at home with my High Def TV and soundbar system, but for business work, it last a very long time.I currently use this laptop with a High Def TV via HDMI, the laptop monitor and a USB to monitor adapter for a 3rd widescreen monitor. I have had games like fallout 4 and alt tabbed out of it to do some web work and emails and not one hiccup. This laptop just feels bulletproof in performance.Now being the geek tech I am, I severely optimize my windows 10 load with several tools for optimum speed, fyi.The restart speed is crazy fast, this laptop can go from desktop, restart to desktop faster than my Nexus 10 tablet can even load.So for gaming / business I cant stress enough how great this laptop performs, and the price is just too good. I was lucky, i got mine back in December for 750.00 total.So it may be a bit more now, but trust me, this laptop rocks. ASUS has always been known for their hardware quality, lets hope they check out those sound drivers online. :)Cheers

I was a little skeptical when buying this laptop. It seemed too good to be true for the price, having an i7 and discrete graphics card. But after looking at feedback and reviews I bought it, and have loved this laptop ever since. I am a college student, so I need to be able to run programs like visual studio, eclipse, and also gaming on the side is nice. It runs flawlessly, I haven't had a lag spike or glitch in a single thing. I can run as many programs as I want without issue. As for the gaming quality, it isn't a top of the line gaming PC, but for a little package it packs a punch. I can run League of Legends at ultra at around 200FPS, it can handle Just Cause 2 at high res without a hiccup.Now to address the complaints about the screen. Sure, it isn't the best, if you're looking at the screen from the side you're going to see a dim/black screen, but for normal view this doesn't affect a thing. For the distorted text on menus, this does happen occasionally. On SOME system menus, the text will be a bit fuzzy and small. It can be annoying, but for what the laptop offers I can easily overlook this, especially because it only happens on certain menus. Web browsers and programs display without a problem.Pros-Processing power-Great graphics card-Decent battery life and charging-Looks and feels greatCons-Screen text can be a little fuzzy-Not much else to say hereAll in all, the laptop has the best value you can get, and doesn't come with any unnecessary features like touch screen or swivel display. I would completely recommend this computer to anyone needing a lightweight computer that still is a powerhouse.

For what you get, this laptop is a fantastic deal.To start, the general build quality is what I expect out of a premium piece of technology. It is very thin and light yet sturdy with the majority of the laptop being made out of aluminum with the only large piece of plastic being on the bottom of the base of it as well as the keys on the keyboard. The keyboard layout is full sized, with a 10-key section, but it is scrunched incredibly close to the regular keys. After a day of data entry, I did finally get used to it.The screen on this laptop has gotten a bad reputation from the previous model of this laptop, but all of my uses has shown me that the screen is just fine. When at full brightness, everything is crisp and clear. Fonts in Microsoft Word are great as well as photos and graphics in Photoshop. When I unplug the power and the screen dims, it can start to get a little fuzzy to see fine details, but it is far from unusable. The hinge for the screen and lid is relatively stiff and will likely take two hands to open. Rest assured, however, that it will not fly open in your bag or flop about as you move around in your chair.The speakers on this laptop had me confused for a little bit as they were incredibly quiet, even at full volume. However, once I started playing with some of the included sound software that ASUS includes it got a lot better. The speakers are still small laptop speakers and can sound a bit tinny with certain sounds, but they are defiantly usable in the case you don’t want to use headphones. It is strange that the speakers are located on the bottom of the laptop, and this may add to some of the issues about perceived volume and quality, but I ended up forgetting about it with things generally working how I intended them to.The performance of this laptop is very superior, especially when considering its price. A brand new 6th generation Core i7 processor, a Nvidia GTX 950m, 8 gigs of RAM and a 256 gig SSD make it very snappy in any task you throw at it. From the time the power button is pressed to being able to launch a program only about ten seconds have elapsed. Once it is started, Photoshop or any other Adobe program takes just under three seconds to launch with Office programs performing similarly.Along the lines of hardware, I was curious about some of the brands of components inside of it. The SSD inside of this laptop is a Micron m600 (Micron is the parent company that produces Crucial hard drives and memory as well as Lexar brand flash memory cards). The memory is Hyundai and the onboard graphics is an Intel HD graphics 520.Battery performance is some of the best I have seen for a full featured laptop. When utilizing the battery, having the screen at its lowest intensity, using the onboard graphics processor and just browsing the Internet or typing a document, it is incredibly efficient. The battery can last upwards of eight hours with those operating conditions. If the Internet is not needed, putting the laptop in airplane mode can extend this even further. It is worth noting that when the laptop is being used in its lowest power state it produces almost no heat, allowing it to stay on bare legs without a problem for extended periods of time. When under full load and using the discrete graphics card it does produce heat but so little that I have not heard the fans wind up to something that I would think is annoyingly noisy by far.Although this is a fine piece of hardware that can see anyone through many years of service, it is worth noting some of the nuances about it that I have noticed after using it for a week.While mentioned before, they keyboard is full sized but scrunched, I don’t know if it is missing some of my keystrokes or if I have just not fully acclimated to it yet. That issue aside, the stroke length of the keys is quite shallow, something that can be annoying at first but can become unnoticeable after some time using it. The backlighting feature is nice, nearly being expected by laptop users, but when it turns off or on, the fade up and down of the lighting can be abrupt or flickery, far from being an operation issue, just something I noticed. It is nice to note that there are three brightness settings for it as well.The track pad is similar to that which is found on laptops currently for sale. It is a single surface with a button built into the bottom of it. The left and right buttons are included in the main pad, but recognized with a single short vertical line near the bottom. Generally speaking, the touch pad works as expected with few navigational issues. Clicking the button is fine and seems like it requires just the right amount of pressure so that it is not pressed accidentally while driving the cursor. While typing, it is not in the way and placed in such a way relative to the keyboard that I have never accidentally hit it on accident. Lastly, the manner in which the touch pad is connected to the chassis of the laptop has me puzzled. Although the chassis flexes very little when picked up by a corner, the bottom of the touch pad seems to protrude from the surface of the base slightly. It is nothing so drastic that it completely lifts off the laptop, but it creates a significant amount of space that a fingernail can fit under it. When the laptop is placed back of a flat surface or not being articulated, the touch pad is in its normal position.The software that comes preloaded in this laptop is what is to be expected. There is a little bloatware from ASUS themselves as well as a few things from Microsoft that comes with Windows in addition to an introductory offer for some third party antivirus software. All of this was easily removed, and while it was still installed, did not seem to impact performance negatively. A couple of notes about a few things regarding the software image that ASUS put on this laptop: when installing the Adobe CC products, I kept getting install errors. After I did a little reading, I found that one or more of the preinstalled Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable packages were corrupt. It was a relatively quick process to fix this so it was not too annoying. The second thing is the OS was set to defragment the hard drive once per week. With a solid state drive, this is a definite no no as it will cause unneeded writes to the drive and will shorten the useful life time of the drive. Once purchasing this laptop, it is a must to correct this.Lastly, and this is by no fault of ASUS, this laptop is being sold as having a dark blue lid color. When I opened the box of mine, it did not look blue at all, it was unmistakable gray. Honestly, it is not a deal breaker for me at all, it looks just as stylish and functions just the same. When inspecting the carton that it shipped in, ASUS even labeled the laptop as having a gray color, not blue.All in all, for the price of this computer and what you get, it is a fantastic piece of equipment, capable of handling just about whatever you can toss at it. Notwithstanding the few oddities that accompany it, a user can expect to be very pleased with this computer and what it has to offer, especially when the price is taken into account.Edited for spelling and grammar.

All I can say is Wow! I never thought a laptop for this price could be so powerful.Boot Time: About 5-10 seconds from the time you turn it on to the desktop.Intel Core i7: Multitasking all day no problem. I can be playing a game then come out of it to use my chrome browser then back to the game with ease.Nvidia Geforce GTX 950m:Very Beastly. This graphics card can definitely hold up on high demanding games for sure. Of course you'll get lower fps on ultra settings with this card but its powerful enough to run GTA 5 on Medium to High settings between 30-45 fps at 1080p resolution. The Witcher 3 can run at least 30 fps on Low to Medium settings at 1080p and it looks beautiful. For me this is heaven. So please do not be discouraged by other reviews because this is not a $2000 gaming laptop. This actually exceeded my expectations. If you want to play games on Ultra 1080p 60 fps then this will not satisfy. But if you want to play the latest games and don't want to spend a fortune and get involved in the gaming world then this is perfect.Screen:Its a great screen and well above average. Its not an IPS display so if your looking for 180 degree viewing angles then more money is coming out your pocket. The viewing angles are very acceptable and I don't play games from the side anyways.Keyboard and Track pad:The keyboard feels nice and yes it is backlit. It is a white backlight with 3 different brightness levels you can set it to by holding fn and f3 to dimmer or fn/f4 to brighter. Now the main con is the trackpad. It feels like there is some sort of delay or lag while using it. But that is minor and should not discourage anyone from buying this.Sound:The sound is very crisp and clear and is above average for a laptop speaker.SSD:Lightning fast. No slow poke in this area. Allowing you to open applications in seconds or less. Storage space is the only issue since there is about 200GB usable. But an external hard drive can solve this problem easily.Overall:The combination of the core i7+Nvidia 950m+SSD is pure fire power at this price point. It allows you to play the latest games at Medium to High settings 30-45 fps and 60 fps on low settings. Games 2-3 years old like BioShock Infinite or Tomb Raider will be able to get 60 fps on at least High to Ultra settings. This is the best gaming laptop you can get for $800 without breaking the bank on those $2000 gaming enthusiast laptops out there. I'm totally amazed at how well Asus put this together. Its powerful, light, and very sleek. The beautiful open worlds of GTA 5 and The Witcher 3 playing on this laptop will make you realize that it really packs a punch and that not having an IPS display is really no problem at all. Excellent gaming laptop at an excellent price. 5/5

I especially like the roominess of this laptop bag. It fits a 15.6" laptop, mouse, and power adapter, leaving room for lots more. And yet, it doesn't seem over-large. I have another laptop bag that is more of a sleeve which I would not buy again. A laptop bag is useless if it doesn't allow room to carry at least the power cord.The quality of this bag seems good for the occasional user. I don't travel with my laptop a lot but need a decent bag for it when I do. I wish it came in other colors, though.

This bag is rather inexpensive but is really well made. It has several pockets with the middle one opening up to put the laptop down into with a fabric lining on ether side which separates the laptop from items you can put in on either side of it. The handle and straps and very strong and you can rest assured that it wont rip and no one will just be able to pull it away from you in hopes the handles, strap or material will give way. This will definitely work for a long time - or can do until you have enough money to get a really expensive one. All black allows anyone to use it and it would go from casual to professional.

I have a Microsoft Surface 3, and I was using an old ipad case that had only handles. I wanted to add a shoulder strap, so I found this case. It was inexpensive and had handles AND a strap. When I received it, I was pleasantly surprised. The inside has a 3 compartments....the middle for my computer and two others to separate papers or other items from the computer. It also has a front zippered pocket for small thing and a larger zippered area for larger things. This is my favorite computer bag, and I especially like that I can carry it hands-free too. I highly recommend it!

I purchased this laptop bag for my Dell XPS 13 for transport purchase and not for the purpose of protecting the laptop from a high-altitude drop. As such, I cannot attest for that purpose. There are three zippered pockets for this bag. The main opening on the top of the bag is secured by double zippers, the other two openings on the front of the bag are secured by single zippers. Inside the main opening a laptop fits neatly into the middle and it has side pockets on either side which could be used for flat objects. I am not using these pockets for anything. The next opening on the front is where I keep my main accessories. Inside this opening there are three open pockets on the side closest to the laptop. This is where I keep my bluetooth mouse, the AC power cord, and the power brick. In front of the three pockets is a larger pocket, this is where I keep my cables, currently, and miniHD to HDMI cable, a USB to mini-USB cable and some earbuds. At the very front of the bag is the smaller zippered opening which is currently used to carry the over-the-shoulder strap that comes with the bag. The bag is of very good quality with adequate stitching. At top are two handstraps situated on either side of the main opening which appear to be strongly attached to provide secure carrying when loaded with laptop and accessories. The bag works really well for the Dell XPS 13 and I strongly recommend it for that other similar sized ( 8"x12"x11/16") laptops or notebooks.

This bag is wonderful and seems to be well made. The little pocket in the front is perfect for chargers or various electronic products (it is nice and roomy). The second pocket in the front has pockets on the interior wall (that seem to be the same size) that allow you to place a phone, headphones, plugs, a small external hard drive, batteries, etc, inside and keep them nice and organized (this pocket is also roomy so you definitely could place a decent sized novel inside it. Then the main pocket has a pocket on the exterior wall (that would be nice for an ebook reader or small tablet), the main compartment (that can fit 3-7 legal sized notepads... this depends on the depth of your computer of course), and there is a nice pocket on the interior wall of the main compartment that fits my 13.3 macbook pro with retina display [early 2015] perfectly.... if your computer is thicker, you might want to put the notebooks in the interior pocket and the computer in the main compartment. Basically, this bag is perfect to carry all your stuff (besides just your computer and technology). This bag also comes with a nice shoulder strap which helps immensely when carrying this around, I've literally filled this thing to capacity (over 40 pounds) and this bag held up all day [12 hours] and the shoulder strap made it a lot less painful to carry around. This bag is a wonderful carry on for airplanes. The fabric on the front of the bag is stain-proof (to coffee, tea, ink)... but that may be due to the fact that it is black. I love this bag because everything inside it feels protected... it is awesome.

I bought this bag for my Acer C720P Chromebook (11.6-Inch Touchscreen, 2GB) Moonstone White, which replaced a sluggish ASUS TF700 and an even slower Dell Inspiron N4010. The Chromebook fits perfectly.PROS-Very lightLittle pocket holds power bank and walletMedium pocket holds 2 piece charging cord, flash drives and necessary cords for my phoneFits Chromebook VERY well.The backside can hold a phone case belt clip, which is great for when I try to hold everything together.Large pocket has two dividers, and I use one pocket for my Chromebook and the others for my notebooks.The amazing price (when compared to similar bags).Looks greatZippers are really high qualityCON-Not a big fan of the shoulder strap, so I just used the handles instead.Other thoughts-I'm planning to buy another soon for my mom's HP Stream 11.Nothing else compares to this bagAmazonBasics is a really good brand

I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga 910 and needed a sleeve for it. All the sleeves at Best Buy are around $39.99-49.99. Which made no sense to me. Saw this on amazon as the best seller and SO MANY have been purchased. Thought I'd give it a try. THIS IS PERFECT! It's holds my 14" laptop just fine, the sleeve is well cushioned, so it's going to be protected when it's in my backpack. The zipper is made of good quality, there's no issue at all when opening or closing it. I would recommend for anyone with a 13" or 14" laptop. Honestly you won't find a better deal anywhere else, plus it comes to your door! You don't need to go anywhere!

The 14-inch sleeve is a perfect fit for the new MacBook Pro 15 w/Touchbar (Late 2016). I was looking for a neoprene sleeve that would fit snug around the now smaller in size 15-inch MacBook Pro. This is the solution. Fits like it was made for it, no slop side-to-side or top-to-bottom. It is a good quality case with a well constructed body, decent padding on the sides and a excellent zipper.

So happy with this purchase, this is a pretty good laptop sleeve! The size is great, it is not too big or too small, just fits like a glove. The material of the case is nice, well made, slim but protective. It's thin enough to put in my suitcases to give the computer a little extra protection and to protect it from scratches when I am traveling. Meanwhile the color exactly as pictured. Good product, I would recommend it to everyone and might order again!

I wanted extra protection for my Yoga 900 when it wasn't in my backpack, but I really did not like the look or feel of the Lenovo option. A quick run to the local electronics giant showed me that other options were either ugly, flimsy or super expensive. I almost bit on oe of the expensive options, when I decided to check Amazon. When I saw this for under $9.00, I figured it was worth a try.This is exactly what I was looking for: a neoprene sleeve that fits my Yoga like a glove, and doesn't have extra pockets or features that I would never use. Zipper closes easily, padding is sufficient to prevent scrapes, scratches and minor bumps, and the sleeve slides in and out of the nylon lined laptop section of the backpack with ease. If yours is fabric lined, it might be an issue, though.Three things of note:1. The first time I tried to slip the Yoga in, it didn't appear to fit, but then I noticed I had a bit over a half inch unused space at the bottom. A quick, extra push, and it slid int he rest of the way.2. This will also fit the Dell XPS 13.3 and the Microsoft Surface Pro 4, which my son and wife have.3. there is enough extra room on the the sides of the sleeve to allow for a mouse receiver or nano flash drive to remain in the laptop, which is a nice extra benefit.All in all, a well made, extremely well priced bit of protection for a small laptop, and I fully recommend it.

This sleeve is awesome for the price. I was looking for a sleeve to fit my new XPS 13 9343 and was having trouble because it has a 13.3 inch screen but is only a 12 inch in size due to the infinity display. It seemed that most 13 inch laptop sleeves would have an extra inch length wise and I didn't want the laptop to be loose inside the sleeve.A few reviews mentioned that the XPS 13 did fit for them but there were no pictures for me too look at. I took a chance by purchasing the 11.6 inch sleeve for it and put the laptop in for the first time just now and it fits like a glove! It fits perfectly inside the sleeve with no room to move around, which is what I like.The case itself has decent soft padding with a sleek black look, with "Amazon basics" labeled on one side. I love Amazon so I don't like showing off their products :)The only thing is that when you zip up the sleeve with the XPS 13 inside, you have to be careful zipping around the corners because they stick out a little bit, but once you have it zipped up, the laptop sleeve fits it perfectly and the laptop sits nice and snug.

Recently, I spent my hard earned money on a 13.3" Macbook Pro Mid 2012. I like to take care of my personal belongings, and this $1000 piece of machinery was no exception. So this began my search for a laptop sleeve. Wandering my local general stores (Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, etc.) I noticed a cheap laptop sleeve (as in cheap quality) was nearly $16! I was like HECK NO! So I jumped on Amazon (btw amazon is the best shoutout to all the hard workers running this website and service) and searched a laptop sleeve. After approximately 9.24 seconds of searching I came across this gem. COULD IT BE?!?? An affordable, durable, and classy laptop sleeve for under $10. Being the educated consumer I started to read reviews. I came across a few that said: Laptop Didn't Fit. This was it, this was the end, I built it all up to let myself down. But being the poor High-School student I am, I pocketed some of my parents lunch money and ordered it. When it got here I opened the package. You know the scene in Star Wars when Darth Vader removed his mask? That's what it was like, shocking, but beautiful. I unboxed it and immediately took my laptop out of my backpack (which was stored in a nice soft tee-shirt previous to this sleeve purchase) and tried to slip it in the case. Wow. The sleeve fit like a glove.If you have a 13.3" Macbook Pro Mid 2012, I highly recommend this product. It protects your laptop very well and snug. No other sleeve is as affordable, fashionable, and durable as this one.

I've had this laptop for a few weeks now and I have to say, I'm very happy with my purchase. The screen is a lot clearer than some of the more negative reviews make it out to be and I haven't encountered any issues viewing the screen at weird angles. The i7 processor and SSD make everything run smooth as butter. I have no problems playing more resource-intensive games like Overwatch on medium, and while I haven't tried a higher graphic setting I'm very pleased with the performance I can get out of this laptop. I think the most cpu/ram I've ever used at once was around 40% to 50% with Overwatch and Discord running, so I'm sure the laptop can handle whatever you throw at it. Battery life is pretty dang great, depending on how many programs you have open at once, and I have little complaints about the battery draining overly fast. I was intrigued by the capability to add a second SSD via the additional SATA port, and although I have yet to do so I will be adding a second drive in the future. I personally like the smooth keys and shallow press distance on this keyboard, although typing is a highly personal experience and this may be a drawback to some. I like that the metal finish shows less dirt and fingerprints than some laptops with plastic cases.That being said, there are some drawbacks. The fan tends to run constantly no matter what I'm doing, even if it's just browsing the internet or typing in a word document. Updating to the latest bios had no effect, so I had to solve the problem by installing a third party fan control software. I haven't run into the issue some people had where the laptop did not want to wake after being put to sleep, but sometimes it will only respond by hitting keyboard buttons instead of swiping or clicking the touchpad. The "activation" light for caps lock is not on the keyboard itself but instead on the front bezzle next to the rest of the activity lights, which is a mighty strange place to put it. The speakers are nothing to write home about; sometimes they sound ok, other times downright terrible with tinny reverb, and it honestly depends on the song being played. I also found it annoying that the F1-F12 keys are enabled by default and having to press the function key down every time I wanted to change volume, screen brightness, keyboard backlight got annoying fast. Unfortunately there is no option in the BIOS to switch this so it's something I have to live with. Sometimes the trackpad can be overly sensitive; with the wrong flick of a finger i'll go zooming up or down a webpage. No idea if this is a common occurrence or a machine-by-machine basis.Despite all the drawbacks, I am still very happy with this laptop and would recommend it as a wise investment if you want a laptop with a fast processor and an onboard graphics card for gaming and video editing.

Summary: Used daily for 2 weeks. It runs mainstream games on medium-high and is portable enough to carry every day. Most concerning drawback is blurry text. Paid $800 + tax in April 2016, consider it a solid investment but not a steal.Performance: 10 second bootup time. 4 seconds to sleep, 2 seconds to wake. Microsoft Word and Excel 2016 each load in 1 second. Buttery smooth and running like a dream. No blue screens, graphics card crashes or other concerning issues. Runs Rocket League and Resident Evil 5 on high with decent fps.Chassis: The body of the laptop is unbelievably thin and light. The backside of the monitor is visually appealing but feels flimsier than a Mac. It can pick up fingerprints but I would not call it a fingerprint magnet. The bottom half is 100% plastic and bends visibly when picked up by the corner or directly pushed on. I can see why other reviewers have had their touchpads bulge out of their sockets. My touchpad fits perfectly. As other reviewers have noted, the USB sockets are an unusually tight fit, but not problematic. The laptop requires two hands to open as the bottom half is too light to stay put.Heat: Runs warm but not hot when playing games. Wrist-rest area remains cool. Fan is not loud. Have had a similar experience with a previous ASUS; if there's one thing ASUS has mastered it's their internal layout. Other reviewers have noted that the fan comes on when not needed. I have noticed it rev up for several seconds before stopping, but this happens rarely and is not terribly intrusive.Monitor: Some text comes on blurry. Noticeably less crisp than other laptops I have used. I feel increased eye strain using this laptop.Hard drive: Came unpartitioned, contrary to past reviews.Keyboard: Beautiful chiclet style with your standard keyboard layout. I never understood why some companies switch the left ctrl and fn keys, resize the left shift key, relegate page up/down to fn or place the power button inline with the other keys. ASUS doesn't do any of this. You can zoom in on the pictures Amazon provides to see the keyboard layout yourself. My only complaints here are that the arrow keys are difficult to locate by touch and the num lock does not have an on/off indicator. Other reviewers have complained about the feel of key presses but it hasn't bothered me.Touchpad: Works fine. Two minor complaints. The ASUS touchpad driver has a very inconsistent inertial scrolling "feature" where taking my fingers off the touchpad sometimes causes the document to rocket scroll. Inertial scrolling can be disabled by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS\ASUS Smart Gesture\AsTPCenter\model\InertiaSetting.ini and changing the "InertiaAlgo=0" to "InertiaAlgo=2". My other complaint is that there is no way to middle click with the touchpad using the provided ASUS driver; clicking with two fingers can only be processed as a right click. This seems to be standard as my previous Dell laptop also lacked this option.Sound: It takes the driver 4 seconds to redirect audio after jacking in my headphones.Battery: Does not charge when battery is at 95+%. This is a feature and not a bug. As a brand new battery, it lasts for 5+ hours of note taking and internet use at 40% brightness. May update as it ages.Bloatware: Minimal and easily removed. Just be careful not to remove the important ASUS softwares.Inconsistent system date/time: Many reviewers have commented on their system time randomly changing. Per instructions from the ASUS rep who has responded to these reviews here on Amazon, I upgraded my BIOS to 209 immediately out of the box, obtainable online from ASUS's website. I have not encountered this issue and believe that BIOS 209 fixes it 100%.

This was a really good purchase over all. I got this used (really just open box) from Amazon. Some reviews I read said the keyboard was a little difficult to type on, but I have found that, for me, I can actually type much faster on my previous laptop. It also runs games much better than my other laptop, although to be fair it was quite old and really needed replaced.The largest issue I had (and why I docked a star, because it's really inconvenient) was the date/time issue that a few people talked about. The first two weeks were fine, and then one day I turned it on, and date was a month off. It happened on and off like that for the next week, being anywhere from a few hours to a few months off. Finally I decided to look into the issue, and the fix is actually pretty easy. In the Windows 10 Control Panel -> Date and Time, the internet settings gives the option to change settings. From there you can replace time.windows.com with time.nist.gov, and so far the problem seems to have gone away.

If I were giving this a comprehensive rating relative to all laptops on the market, I might give it a 3.5. But factoring in the price, more like a 4.25.Quick sidebar, I also bought a Zenbook UX303LB - high end specs in a very small laptop at a higher price than this one. I realized though, that I just needed a 15 inch screen and so I went for this one - I am actually very happy with this unit compared to that one, even though the Zenbooks have higher build quality (and pricetag to go with it). Full review below:Like most people, I was attracted to the specs that came with this given the price, and in a pretty light & thin form factor - and it delivers on those points. However, if you've read the reviews, you know that this laptop comes with a whole range of concerns raised by buyers which make it somewhat of a risky purchase. I'll list my experience with the items of concern, starting with the worst offenders:Date / Time Issue: Yes, this is a problem, and it Asus should be ashamed of themselves for shipping out so many units with a defective feature, even if it is a minor one. Hopefully someone will come up with an easy fix for this (it seems like there should be one), as of now from what I have read it seems that one fix might be to replace the CMOS battery. Would love to hear from others who have fixed this. Note: I've tried manually changing the date/time AND having it set automatically - BOTH have resulted in incorrect dates after a short period of time. However for now, this is only a minor annoyance:Fan: I have indeed experienced the intermittent stopping and starting of the fan that some people have noted. It seems to have only one speed - which is high - and so stopping and starting is very noticeable and at times seemingly random. At other times it goes silent for long periods of time and the laptop seems to run quiet otherwise. As I tend to use headphones this isn't a dealbreaker and another minor annoyance.Screen / Display: I've been actually pretty happy with the screen. Yes, you can find better screens on more expensive units and the Zenbook mentioned above definitely has a higher quality display. I DID notice the blurring many people complained about, however I have found this NOT to be an issue after I changed the Windows Zoom level down to 100% from the default 125%. I think it it's a perfectly workable display.Laptop Enclosure / fingerprints: I haven't found this to be as big of an issue as many others. Yes it tends to pick up some fingerprints but I've found it to be pretty minor. I will say that the Zenbook has a higher quality feeling enclosure and picks up less fingerprints. The whole thing does feel fairly 'plastic-y', but this also helps it stay light and I think they've done a pretty good job of making it feel respectable despite cheap materials. I will say that you will DEFINITELY need a laptop sleeve if you want to carry this around in a bag - I made the mistake of putting it in my bag without protection and I got a scratch on the top on Day 1. This is not a rugged enclosure and you will need to care for / protect it.Bulging Trackpad: Luckily, not an issue in my model. Though I will say the entire trackpad has some give and doesn't feel super solid. I always just use a mouse so I wasn't too worried about this, but in my little trackpad use I actually haven't found it too bad, though of course it feels inferior to say, a Macbook trackpad.Performance: I've been happy with the performance. I am not a gamer but using it for professional (CAD/CAM and 3d modeling) use, so I went for the i7 here rather than the i5 quad core Dell model many have gone for, and I've been happy. Everything has been responsive, bootup is fast, no complaints.Storage: For $60 I bought an extra 240GB SSD drive and plan to install it shortly. Barring any installation problems, I anticipate this to be a cheap and easy fix to make the laptop much more usable. I also bought an 8GB RAM to replace the 4GB which is not soldered on - hopefully another cheap and easy fix to make this even more useful.**UPDATE** Successfully installed SSD - very easy. Just remove bottom cover and plug in, then load drive in Windows. RAM is another story. Unable to locate free RAM slot. Read somewhere there is a metal box that can be opened to switch it out but I could not get it open and don't feel comfortable enough to mass around too much with the internals.

PROS> 1080p> Snappy> Powerful> Sleek> Great battery lifeCONS> Not even the screen, just select text.(see details below)> Not amazing speakers.> Minimal typical bloatware.> Annoying touchpadThis is definitely a powerful and exceptional product. It feels like it was quality-built, and it definitely shows. The laptop feels a little weighty considering how it LOOKS, but compared to other laptops, its actually pretty light. Considering its made mostly of aluminum, it kinda makes sense. Even with the weight, its not like its super heavy, its just not tablet light (like it almost appears it should be because of how ridiculously thin it is).Listed above I mentioned that the screen has issues. I read lots of other reviews about how the screen sucks for this laptop, but I figured honestly, how bad could it be? So I bought it. Honestly, its not really bad at all. Its sharp, pristine, and has a matte-esque shine on it. I personally don't really view my laptop at retardedly sideways angles, so I don't know if it has "bad viewing angles", but I do know that in some instances, text within certain applications almost appears fuzzy, like it was zoomed from a lower resolution and not fixed with that microsoft thing "cleartype". This appears to happen inside of gaming applications primarily, but I've also seen it in places like the control panel and such. It is definitely unusual.Also, I mentioned that the speakers are not amazing. Really, I can't even call it a con, but I would never call it a pro, they just don't sound that great. I mean, I've only had my laptop for a short while, but it seems like they are just really... light sounding. No body. And though they do a good job at surrounding you as far as laptop speakers are concerned, the aren't great. Seriously though, they would not impede you as a casual user for listening to movies/music and such, you just probably wanna hook up headphones or something if you want it to sound good.EDIT: The touchpad still isn't amazing and wonderful and all that, but apparently some of the default software(bloatware?) that ASUS has installed on here [ASUS Smart Gesture] actually has a setting in there to disable the touchpad anytime there is an external mouse plugged in. This has remedied the most pressing issue on this laptop.Now I write about the bad because most people are more concerned about whats wrong with a laptop than whats right with it. This is still an exceptional piece of work, I don't regret the 700$ I spent(found "used-very good" actually meant the box it came in had a scratch, not the lid of the actual laptop) I spent on it. This will help me through college as a programmer, and as a student that needs to game on. If you think this is what you're going to be doing, I think you should stop thinking and just buy it.

I’ve had this laptop for a day, and I’m fairly technical so I’ll probably answer a few questions about this laptop that anyone might be having. First, I’ll say that the quality of this laptop is pretty high, with a few exceptions. With 3DMark, I benchmarked between notebooks and gaming laptops, with the noticeable bottleneck being the GPU. Physics tests performed much better than graphics tests. This is a great laptop for casual gamers or everyday use, but serious gamers should look for something more powerful or switch to a desktop. I won’t talk about any of the posted specs in the pro’s and cons, only the things Asus doesn’t tell you or you’re not guaranteed quality for.Pros:Great power for the priceWell constructedFast chargingFairly high touchpad responsivenessQuality keyboardCons:Tn Display(Average viewing angles for tn displays)Speakers are pretty terribleWebcam low light filter causes severe fps issuesBlue material fingerprints very easilyLight bloatware – took me about 30 minutes to find and remove all of it

This is a great bag for a smaller laptop. It holds the laptop, charger, bluetooth mouse and a myfi without feeling bulky and getting excessively large. My only issue is that the rear suitcase strap is just slightly too small to fit over the handle of a rolling suitcase, same for the hand straps on top. You can work it on to the suitcase but it is not a quick procedure and I worry I'm going to tear the bag in the process. Beyond this minor annoyance, I have been very pleased with the purchase.

Perfect for my needs. My 15" laptop fits perfectly, plus I even had room for the Officemate Slim Clipboard Storage Box, Charcoal (83303). There is also a handy internal pocket for files, and two other compartments for office supplies.The material seems to be hardy and the workmanship is fine.The only thing that would have made it better would have been an additional pocket on the backside.

This is a nice laptop bag that is just the right size for my 11 inch laptop. It has a couple of extra pockets to store things and a nice handle. The only small issue I have is that it bulges a bit when I try to put the power adapter in the front pocket, but that's not too big an issue. If you are looking for a small bag to protect or carry your laptop, this one seems to be a good deal. Some people have reported issues with the shoulder strap. I don't use it so I can't comment much on that.

I'd say this one fits the "Basics" moniker very well, for better and for worse (though the worse isn't so bad at all).I've been using this for a few months now, and it has been holding up perfectly well. Construction seems very solid all around, padding is minimal but firm and sufficient, straps seem durable. Lots of different pockets on the inside (including three interior pockets in the larger front compartment, as per the photo) and three separate compartments overall, so there are many ways to separate your stuff and room for all the essentials. The overall look is trim and attractive, the zippers and smooth and seem sturdy, and it's a nice light weight.Downsides? No dealbreakers, just lack of refinements or niceties. There are no feet on the bottom of the case, so it's just resting on the same material as the rest of the exterior. So far it's holding up fine, but it is more slippery than rubber feet would be, so it tends to slide down and lay flat on its back if you rest it at an angle. The relatively narrow thickness of the case magnifies this effect. The shoulder strap seems fine, but the plastic hooks at either end don't rotate quite as smoothly as metal would, so the strap tends to get twisted pretty easily. The interior fabric has held up well for me, but it is fairly thin and makes a bit of a pronounced crinkly sound when you access the interior pockets. The aforementioned relative thinness of the case back to front does limit what you can stuff into the bag - I've had a laptop, file folder, phone/wallet/etc, and not overly thick book all layered inside, and that fills up its thickness pretty well. Definitely on the narrow side of cases, but then again that's part of why I bought it. Wanted something trim and efficient, not heavy and bulky.Overall, very satisfied with it and glad I got it. If I could change one thing, it would be to have rubber feet or some other kind of protective traction on the bottom. Apart from that, the "basics" in this bag are acceptable and make it a great deal.

I just got my bag this morning and it seems to be pretty great so far. the bag has one large pocket with 3 dividers that got long ways, which are perfect for my 2 kindle fires, and my other larger tablet. the middle zipper pocket is perfect for smaller things. i use the middle pocket for my wifi hot spot and power bank. it has 2 sleeves which fit them both perfectly. you can also fit an additional smaller tablet or android in there too if you wanted. the last and smallest pocket is good for wires and pens, not much else. All in all if your looking for a smaller travel bag for your tablet or kindle, then this bag will probaly work for you. just make sure you know what size screen you have before you but this. the title says laptop, but i think its more of a tablet bag . a small thin laptop will fit but the battery charger might not.

This is a nice quality bag at a cheap price. The only thing I didn't really like were the rubber grip zippers with the Amazon Basics logos on them. It would have looked a little more professional without that and I'm curious to see the durability of the rubber grips versus a conventional full-metal zipper grip. I read other reviews complaining of a "chemical" smell but I think they have probably never smelled neoprene before. Some people were also complaining about it being a little over-sized for the iPad but I disagree. This is not an iPad case, it's universal netbook case. I think it's a nice size, especially if you have a case on your iPad as well. You can also fit a few accessories in the separate front pocket without worry about it scratching up your device.

I purchased this case for a Garmin DriveSmart 61 GPS.I based this on the size of the GPS and the dimensions of this case listed by Amazon.I received the case and it is considerably too large for this GPS.Amazons inner dimensions of 7.5 x 5.3 inches are WRONG.The correct INNER dimensions are 8 1/8 x 5 5/8 inches.It is a very nice case and I found another perfect use for it, but it is considerably larger than Amazon describes.Note: The best case I found for the DriveSmart 61 was the Kroo Neoprene Sleeve Case for the Kendle PaperWhite 6 inch. $8.99 ASIN #B009RSTZDO.

Only just received this item the other day, so can't yet speak to its durability, but it's inexpensive and fits my Latitude 7370. Odd size laptop - 13.3" screen with thin bezels. I spent some time tearing up a store and couldn't find anything that was small that it would squeeze into, only larger ones where it flopped around. For $8, this one is a winner. Zipper seems good. Pouch itself seems as good as a $20-25 unit you'd find at a Big Buy store. I'll come back and cry if the zipper breaks one day.

Unfortunately I had to return this product because it was too small for my 8in Lenovo Yoga Tab 3. But regardless of the fit issue it is another great product. The zipper was sturdy, the neoprene and stitching was high quality, overall very well constructed. I will be ordering another larger case from Amazon Basics. Amazon Basics products are awesome! Simple, no frills packaging, low prices, and a wide range of quality products, would definitely recommend anything they sell :)

I bought the 11.6" for my ASUS C201 (C201PA-DS01 to be exact). The ASUS C201 is pretty thin (0.7") so this case does not fit as snug as I would have hoped. This case is about 1" too "deep". Leaving the foam insert that comes with the case keeps my ASUS snug, but also makes it all a bit thicker. (~1.5")There is a soft neoprene feel to the outside of the case and soft material on the inside. It will do a fine job of protecting your laptop from sharp things during transport, but wouldn't drop test it.Considering the price and quality of the case, I think I got a good deal and would buy it again. If a snug fit is required, consider the Thule Gauntlet Envelope Case. I did not get to test fit it, but I saw this at my local FRYs electronics (COI near Los Angeles) for $20.

I purchased this sleeve for the 2015 DELL XPS 13Its a tight/secure fit, you have to be careful when zipping around the corners but overall its a great quality sleeve.If you don't want such a tight fit - size one up, but I prefer it this way

Very basic, functional, and at a great price.*******HOWEVER:Having now owned both this and the almost identical Case Logic 13/3 inch laptop sleeve; I must admit I'd pay the extra for the Case Logic. It seemed to provide better protection with a slightly thicker material lining the protective sleeve.

I purchased this laptop about 2 years ago, so I have experienced the positives and negatives. I will say that this is the fastest and most powerful laptop I have owned. It was a great value for the price, so I wasn't too disappointed when it had a few quirks. Unfortunately, some of the problems were a bit more severe and ASUS did not offer good support when I contacted them regarding these issues. The first issue I noticed was that the trackpad did not work at all out of the box until I installed additional drivers. This was not a huge issue for me since I usually use a wireless mouse anyway, but definitely annoying. Even after installing the proper drivers, the trackpad is still difficult to use and less responsive than other laptops I have owned, so I mostly just leave it disabled anyway. The more serious issue I had is that my machine has now severely crashed twice, forcing me to reset the windows operating system (Windows 10), and causing me to lose all my installed programs which I then had to reinstall. Finally, I have recently had issues with the laptop charger. The cord has begun to pull away from the power converter box, exposing the wire. When I contacted ASUS about this issue, they took about 3 weeks to get back to me, then went back and forth with me requesting more information and more photos for another 2 weeks (it was a total of about 6 messages). Finally, instead of owning up to their design flaw that caused the weak connection to the power converter, they said they couldn't help me because in their assessment it was probably "user caused damage".Bottom line: fast computer that works well for gaming and general purposes, but I wouldn't buy again because of the tendency to crash and the poor ASUS support

Bought this Laptop for my Daughter as her first gaming laptop. It has performed great in many different ways. Runs well with built in Nvidia card. The only problem we've faced is the screen. after general use of opening and closing, the monitor cable that connect s the screen to the motherboard, gets loosened from the connector, resulting in a flickering screen. I have had to take this twice to get repaired. The Tech tells me there isn't really anything that can be done, as the cable is too short to give any tension relief. I'm forced to leave the screen up unless its crucial to travel with it.

Firstly I should start this review off by stating that I bought this laptop primarily for the purpose of web development and I have had this laptop for a little over a month now and sadly, I am not impressed. I have owned, several HP and DELL laptops in the past, and this is the first laptop that I have had issues with straight out the box. However, this is the first laptop I have had that came pre-installed with Windows 10, and that might be the basis for most of my issues with this product.In no particular order, here are the issues I've had with this laptop since purchase: > RANDOM FAN NOISE - The fan comes on for a split second sporadically, even when the laptop is not running any processor-consuming apps. It doesn't stay on long enough to be a constant nuisance, I am just not sure why it even comes on at all when it chooses to. > BLURRY FONT IN SOME APPS - I first noticed that the fonts within some open apps were blurry in comparison to the browser and other windows fonts. Even selecting the "ClearType" did not help the issue. Turns out when you have a widescreen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 or higher or a bit lower, in Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1 you would put your DPI scaling to 125% or higher to make text and images appear larger and more easy to read.But when you put the DPI scaling to 125% in Windows 10, you see in a lot of dialog boxes and windows the font gets very blurry. Since I do not have a PRO version of windows 10 and could not run a script to fix this on my local group policy editor, my only solution to this problem was downloading a third-party DPI fix. Which was/is super annoying to run every time you restart Windows. > MICROPHONE - This is my MAIN matter of contention so far with this laptop. The built-in microphone array does not pick up my voice at all. So far, reverting the drivers AND uninstalling and re-installing them has done NO-GOOD. I have submitted a ticket to Asus' Technical Support and are awaiting their response, but based on my research on the Internet, I'm not holding my breath.It would be remiss of me to not mention the good qualities of this laptop before ending my review: > SPEED & PROCESSING POWER - You will find that the laptop boots very quickly thanks to the SSD and processor. The laptop handles my development programs with ease.> KEYBOARD - Even though I read some pretty negative reviews about the keyboard, I appreciate the chicklet-type keys and the back-lit keypad. (My only qualms about the keyboard is the odd placement of the arrow keys to the numeric keypad compared to a regular keypad. It's easy to keep pressing the > button for the 0 until you get used to it)> BATTERY LIFE - The battery life has been amazing so far.> PRICE - For what it's worth (not considering all the little issues) the price point is to be a steal of a deal for the specs.Really hopes this honest review helps you make your decision if you're considering this laptop.

Freezes and date changes own its own daily after setting it.1st its a great laptop, its sleek, its fast, they keyboard is nice and matte and feels good to use...2nd IF they would fix these issues this would be a GREAT LAPTOP!From the 1st time we used it, it froze, we thought it needed updating, did the updates and it still freezes.. THE WHOLE laptop freezes, not just an app so the only way to turn it off is by powering it off and losing anything you were doing that you didnt save.Do NOT get this for a student who needs to save their work, they will get frustrated. Working of videos or editing, DONT BOTHER cause you know when you doing something that you cant save right away, you will lose it all!!!!I paid close to 800.00 for this. If it was 150.00 I could live with the freezing as i would save as i go, (i know like you should) but not for 800.00I did get the warranty though, like you should..Amazon has been great at helping me with this issue when i told them about it and I am very satisfied with how amazon handled this for me.They have better policies than most!

I really want to like this computer but unfortunately I think I will have to return it (reasons below)First, the Pros:-Really light weight and sleek, easy to carry around-Graphics while gaming were great, played LoL and Borderlands 2 with no issues-keyboard was nice, didn't have any issues with the touchpad-Super fast start up and browsing-Laptop doesn't heat upCons:-The display is pretty bad, this is the main reason I'm considering returning it. Colors are washed out and causes eye strain. Its a Tn panel, so do some research on this type before purchasing.-Date and time issue present, randomly changes date sometimes after start up-Webcam is really bad-Fan randomly starts and stops, noticeableOverall its great for the price but not sure if I want to put up with this display for the next few years.

Pros: Great price for the components (even the screen). Smooth, strong, fast, bearable screen, backlit keyboard, nice sleek design.Cons: Track pad is one of the worst I've ever used, at first it's hard to even slide your fingers across the rigid track pad... now it is seriously delayed and moves randomly. So if you were to buy this laptop, get a usb/wireless mouse. What I assume to be the ethernet port, doesn't work... even with a usb - ethernet connection, I guess this laptop doesn't have the drivers to support it? Other than the really annoying cons, it is a decent laptop for its sleek slim design, backlit keyboard, gpu, cpu, ram, ssd, and price.

I like the design of this bag and the size is what I expected. It "appears" that it is sturdy however the one I received had a problem with the stitching. The inside flap appears to have been cut a bit short so it did not catch the stitching an came open. Fortunately it was easy to return and I will try again to see if I can get a good one and update the review appropriately.

It fits my Lenovo chromebook fine, but it's a tight fit to include much more than a bullet journal and a few pens with the chromebook n the bag. Keeping the charger and a mouse is too much in the bag.Other reviewers also complain about the strap hooks coming undone when used. I confirm the strap hooks do come undone, but I don't know how it happens. Happened three times to me since I started using it, and now pieces of black tape over the hooks have kept it together.

Very basic bag, gets the job done. No complaints, but I would recommend something sturdier for heavier devices, as it's not very well padded and if care isn't taken you could damage a device. Not recommended if you're prone to drops, bumping or accidents. But does the job fine if you simple need something to carry a laptop or large tablet around in.

As a bag, it's kind of cheap but it gets the job done. Has space for your cords and such, and if your laptop doesn't have a massive vent off of the back, I'm pretty sure you'll have plenty of space.For my laptop, the ASUS ROG G752, it doesn't fit. If the bag was a half inch taller, it would fit perfectly, albeit with a bit of convincing from the zipper. As it is, it's barely too small.If you're looking for something that'll get your laptop from the dorm to the classroom, this bag will do you fine. If you have a big and proud gaming laptop that you want to protect for cheap, just get a sleeve instead. Arvok's 17.3 inch sleeve fits my PC perfectly and has the padding to protect it to and from robotics meetings and LAN parties, for any fellow G752 owners out there.

The Bad:As a few other reviewers mentioned, the shoulder strap WILL unclip when just the right orientation of the clip hook to the bail it attaches to occurs. What happens is that the clip hook doesn't always swivel freely, especially if the strap has twisted itself across the side of the bag. When you lift it up, the clip doesn't swivel and all the weight of the bag deflects the flexible part of the clip sideways, out of the hook body and the hook pops off of the bail. I think the only way to fix this would be with a metal clip body. You can avoid this if you wiggle the strap a bit before you pick up the bag to make sure the strap extends straight up and the clips aren't jacked sideways.A smaller issue is that the length of the strap material is such that the adjustment slider is in the exact spot you would want the should pad to be when set to the average person's size.The Good:This is a really nice bag for $14. I got the 11" version and it feels durable and well padded. The padding seems fine for the weight of a typical 11" Chromebook but I suspect there is too little in the corners for larger, heavier laptops. The zippers seem tough and the straps are well sewn and durable. The pockets are nice though it's too bad the pocket that has the sleeves for a wallet, pens, etc. is also the only pocket big enough for a power supply. So you can't easily get at your pens, etc. if the power supply is in there. All in all, a really nice bag. I would say it can't be touched for under $20

I bought this bag for a Lenovo 14" flex, but it is an exact tight fit, the zippers would scratch the corners or the wide side up if you are not careful, the Lenovo 14" flex's four corners are way up to the edge of each corner of the bag. But it is good for the 14" size Asus laptop, since it's 1/2 inch smaller than the 14" Lenovo. the bag is not really padded compared to other ones I have. So you would rather pay more and get another bag where you can transport your laptop with extra dropping protection.I'm giving the 3 star rating based on the poor padding issue

I bought this for my 13.3," 2015 MBP. I was disappointed when it arrived. First, the color of the logo was all white, not white and orange like in the photo, which I think looks better. Second, the material is very thin. It provides almost no protection. There was some kind of white foam padding inside. I don't know if it was packaging (like the paper in a new pair of shoes to keep their form) or if the foam was part of the sleeve itself. I wish they sewed it on the inside, it would have been much better. My final complaint is that the material is kind of stretchy and the fit feels too large and unsecure when you go to pick it up.My solution was to place the 13.3" sleeve inside of a 14" sleeve, and it worked perfectly. I keep the 13.3" sleeve open at all times inside the 14" sleeve, and just zip the 14" sleeve. This way, there is more protection and a 13.3" sleeve inside the 14" sleeve makes it more form fitting and secure. Also provides added protection.I wish I didn't have to do that, and I didn't originally intend to do that, but it works great, so I'm keeping it. You might want to do that, or invest a few more $ in a better sleeve to protect your $1,200+ investment.

My son said it's super hard to get his computer in and out of this case - so I could not give it as good of a review as I wanted to - it's made well, and the zipper is built to last - things I was concerned about. But the design/size of the zipper makes it hard for him to get the computer in and out, and for that reason, he may end up not using it, and that's a bummer.

Light and very inexpensive. A little snug but adequate for my Acer 14 Chromebook. I would like to see Amazon add 3 features:1. A simple carrying handle or strap2. A compartment for storing the power cord and accessories, such as a mouse or flash drive.3. A little padding and/or hard corners to provide some impact protection

I bought this for my Macbook Pro 13 in late 2016 model, which is a bit small for this sleeve. I have a 13in mackbook so I figured it would fit but I was wrong. Its way too big. So I kept the foam inside and sitk my macbook with its cover into the sleeve and I guess it keeps it more protected. If i was using it without the foam, I wouldn't feel like my macbook was really protected. I guess you get what you pay for.

Good bag, but bad fit for MacBook Pro 2016 13inch. Some posters seem to think that this bag fits the MacBook Pro 13. It doesn't. It's a nice bag otherwise and I would recommend it for laptops that fit into it, but don't get it for the new MB Pro 13inch.

This case is very nice quality for the price, so I was disappointed that it didn't fit my new 11.6-inch Lenovo Thinkpad laptop. I had read the internal dimensions listed in the item description and measured my laptop before ordering, and they matched. But the laptop case has very rounded corners and my laptop's corners are much less rounded, so the case won't zip closed with the laptop inside. My advice is to make sure you have some wiggle room between the size of your laptop and the listed dimensions of this case.The good news is that Amazon is refunding me the price and not even having me ship the case back. So I'll find someone with a laptop with rounded corners and give them a nice present.If this case DOES fit your laptop, it should protect it from ordinary bumping around, and it looks nice.

I was honestly stoked for this computer. Gaming laptop for under 1k? I planned to use this for my day job, my home business, and get a little overwatch in on the side. NOPE. The first one of these I ordered developed a power supply problem within weeks and then wouldn't charge the battery at all. Amazon was awesome and replaced it. Now, this new one has been randomly freezing on me with no real source cause identifiable. I have run the gambit on suggested fixes and it continues to do so. Not to mention that on both of the computers I had to disable the cool up sale GTX graphics card because it interferes with the Intel graphics card, so my gaming is lackluster at best. Honestly, my old thinkpad did better, at least it was reliable.

I had another ASUS laptop that was much smaller and LOVED it (it just kept running with no problems until I dropped it -- oops!) so I went with this brand again. I wanted something powerful enough to video-edit while on the road, and this fit the bill. However, it's had several glitches that my other laptop didn't have. Some have been mentioned on other reviews. They are:* The trackpad/left click is awkward and doesn't work half the time when pushed. It gets pretty irritating to have to force it.* On about four occasions, the computer simply would not turn on. I had to read about a forced stop/start that works to restore it. Very scary - thought I lost everything.* Many times, the login screen doesn't appear. I have to hard boot the computer, shutting off the power and all else to get it to appear again.* I've started to see pixels and weird random blotches that appear and disappear -- hoping this doesn't mean some type of failure. I only bought this about six months ago.* Despite trying many fixes, the wifi at some locations (including my home) simply stops working. I know it's this computer since it still works on my phone or my husband's laptop. I have to shut the laptop and open it back up after a few minutes.* Another irritating glitch -- the time and date randomly changes on its own to the wrong time/date. Here again I've tried many suggestions I found online to no avail.* It's heavy.* The zero/right arrow get in the way of one another, it's not really set up great ergonomically.That about covers the main issues. I can't wait until a few years from now when I can justify buying a new laptop.

I really wanted to love this laptop. I purchased it for on the road gaming. By itself, it is great. It is powerful enough to play most games at medium settings. Didn't have a good time trying to play Doom, but then again I wasn't expecting a lot at the price point.The biggest issue that I have been having with this laptop since I received it nearly 3 months ago is using an external display through HDMI. I have been getting random "unsupported resolution/refresh rate" on any external screen or TV I try to use for gaming. At the beginning, it only happened a couple times. In the past few weeks, it has progressed to where it happens about every 5 minutes when any game is open.I've tried everything, from reinstalling games and wiping caches to reinstalling drivers and Windows 10 itself. YES I UPDATED TO BIOS 209. I even updated to beta drivers from Nvidia and the generic drivers from Intel. Still no luck. Last step is installing Windows 7 and do a manual search for the drivers, since Asus does not support any OS besides Windows 10 on this model. Blizzard Tech Support is even stumped on this one.I wrote in to Asus a few days ago since I hit a roadblock on everything I could think of myself. They sent me a link to a generic Microsoft article about refresh rates which provided no help. I immediately responded but have heard nothing in just over 2 days. I can't say that I really blame them as they probably get a lot of bs support requests, but it is still quite frustrating. I am going to try giving the support phone number a call tomorrow, and will update this review afterwards.

-Time used: 2-3 weeks-IT experience: 10 years+ building computer hardware/software-Pro's: Good specs. Decent battery life. Alright heat dissipation. Empty 2.5" bay.-Con's: Eye bleeding TN screen from the pit of Cthulhu's deepest darkest torture chamber worth 20 dollars or less. I have old crt screens with better color reproduction. Piss poor viewing angles (expected for tn panels) and shameful brightness. Horrible/variable clicking pressure on the trackpad. Questionable build quality and quality assurance. Buggy motherboard firmware. Feels like a rushed product with minimal bug testing.-Personal gripes: Not very compatible with linux bootable toolkits. Windows 10 boot manager (because windows is my only choice since linux is not well suited with the hardware.) Bizarre issue from the system clock reporting the wrong date & time randomly.-Conclusion: I returned it for my cash back. Even if I replaced the screen with an IPS pannel, the system clock problem and locked down hardware raised red flags for the long term life of the laptop. If it wasn't for the uber-crap tn screen, flimsy trackpad, and system clock problem I would of given this computer a solid 4/5.ASUS stick to your chromebooks, upper premium laptops, and desktop hardware. This product makes me question my other ASUS hardware.

UPDATE 11/15: So a large reason of why I chose ASUS in the first place was for the built-in free ADP (Accidental Damage Protection) plan. I slightly destroyed this thing last month... long story... and had to go through the process of building an ADP claim. It's not very clear, and you end up doing a standard RMA. Note to anyone else reading this: if you ever had to pursue ADP through an Asus RMA, call immediately after they receive the unit and escalate it. Call the next day and escalate it again. Rinse and repeat until someone from the company gets back to you.They received my laptop 11/3 and sat on it until I called them last Friday (11/12), when they informed me there was a wait code on it because the unit came in damaged. It came in for a damage claim for God's sake! They promised me a call or email update within 12-24 hours. I gave them the weekend and Monday and Tuesday morning without any communication before calling them back. The guy I spoke with said the repair clock reset when I had the case escalated so really in the eyes of ASUS they had only had it for two days.Needless to say, I'll be calling every day until they can at minimum get me an update and an ETA. If it's a month from now that's fine, but as a consumer without a computer this is pretty much solid agony not knowing what to expect. I won't be buying another ASUS product after this experience. So disappointing.UPDATE 5/13: So I did end up replacing this with a Toshiba.And I hated it.I mean, I really hated it. Hated it more than all of the associated commentary below.So I said what-the-hell and ran the dice on a replacement K501UX. I was sure to update everything and run a script posted below in the comments of this review. And you know what? I haven't had a single problem with it. It's fast, it keeps time, the fan is not loud in this one, the space bar doesn't make that obnoxious sound that the first version had. I almost gave this thing a four star review because the first product I had was SO bad, but this one really makes up for it. I wanted to give it at least three or four months before coming back, but I have to say, the durability of this rig, the speed, and the unbelievably light footprint of it makes it a must-have for anyone doing borderline things who do not want the price of a true "gaming rig".From zero to hero. If you get a bad one, just return it. I'm glad I did.>>> Original review below, in all of great angsty glory. Don't judge me, I was a little tipsy when I wrote it.This purchase is perhaps the most depressing and disappointing that I've made recently. Let me say that this could have VERY EASILY been the best laptop upgrade ever. To start with, I'm upgrading from a six year old Toshiba that has just taken every beating I've dosed out on it and kept on ticking -- I just wanted to treat myself with a faster rig.Asus knows how to box things up. I was very much wowed with the set-up opening the box rather than when I've purchased previous brown-box laptops. It looked slick coming out, GREAT form factor, rounded edges, very organic looking. All the specs looked great for the price point.I had 24 hours of bliss.Then the honeymoon ended.- The keys squeak. I don't mean a little. I mean every time you hit the space button it emits a high-pitched noise that sounds approximate to nails on a chalk board. For someone with sensitive hearing, this in and of itself would be a deal breaker.- The touchpad is REALLY sub-par. It isn't necessarily the touchpad itself (which is okay once you disable Asus' native Smart Gesture bloatware), but the "key" function at the bottom of the touchpad. I'm used to discrete buttons, which I prefer over the "dedicated touchpad space" as demonstrated on this product. If you don't hit it 'left' enough (the leftmost quartile, let's say) it won't register a click. It's atrocious when you use this rig as a casual game.- THE DATE PROBLEM reared its ugly head. I do a lot of online collaboration via text-based mediums, and I have a specific program to run a log on every day the system registers. I'll wake up after seven hours of sleep, having locked the computer the night before, and have no less than 24 strings of new log output where the system has changed the date two dozen + times. From what I can tell from rudimentary research this is indicative of CMOS battery issues; CMOS batteries are motherboard batteries, for those unused to the term, and I'm just not comfortable with dropping this much money to have such foundational issues less than 72 hours out of the box.It's enough to drive a person nuts, because otherwise this rig has enough power to run WoW on ultra settings no problem, even when raiding with 40 other people - no clue on more modern games, because I'm not cool enough to play those. :P It's lightweight and I can take it to work and it look respectable and sleek rather than getting side-eyed for having an obvious gaming rig. It is a BEAUTIFUL laptop. Some people don't like the matte display but I love it. Very easy on the eyes especially in low-light surroundings. And it is SO quick thanks to the SSD and recent-generation i7.All in all, it would be amazing if it wasn't for a) the touchpad, b) the INFERNAL MOUSE-BEING-TORTURED SQUEAKING, and most distressingly c) the constant date change problem. No, Asus, it is not March yet. Quit telling me it's March. Stop trying to make March happen. March is never going to...It drives me crazy for something to be this close and miss the mark. Literally crazy.So I'm buying a Toshiba, even though I think the design is not even 50% as pretty, it is more expensive AND it fails to have a SSD... because I know the product won't squeak like a tormented mouse and I can beat on it for the next four years without a whole lot of concern.Buyer beware. This dragon brings tears of frustration. :(

I really wanted to like this laptop, but it's going back to Amazon.Pros:- Great build. Slim but sturdy, and it doesn't get warm (ASUS usually gets this right). Looks sharp.- There's some weird, persistent fan noise from the left side (doesn't seem to be linked to activity), but it's really faint and won't be a problem with headphones.- The keyboard feels great, though the number pad keys are more narrow than I've seen before and take some getting used to.Cons:- The screen is really bad. I could generally care less about screen quality, and I prefer matte to reflective. Having said that, this screen is so low quality that I found it impossible to calibrate the color/contrast to where I didn't get a headache from the background whites within 10 minutes. This just shouldn't be an issue on an $800 computer. In fairness, I probably would've replaced the screen if it wasn't for the next complaint . . .- Ah, the dealbreaker: the BIOS/clock thing. Read through the other reviews - it's a real problem. Frankly, they shouldn't have released this model knowing it had such systemic issues. I tried several of the fixes here and nothing resolved it. Completely unacceptable, particularly if ASUS acknowledges the issue (they do) and doesn't offer a solution (they don't). Sad to say it's just really bad QC, and is probably linked to faulty or low quality hardware. Might be my last ASUS.

I was looking for a bag that could hold my tablet, some papers and some office supply so I didn't have to lug my larger bag that I use for my laptop. I bought the small and it was way too small - not that everything didn't fit, it just looked like a "murse" (man purse). I'm going to try the larger size and see if it's a bit more masculine.

It'[s just a darned good thing that the laptop isn't 15.7 - instead of 15.6". It BARELY fits and does not have near the padding that a bit more expensive case has. I'll keep it for 14" and do as I normally do ... put craft-store flat foam (e.g. seat cushion) inside as well. I'm keeping them; but reluctantly.... Just don't have the desire to 'fight yet something else in life'.

Editing my comment 6 months in. The bag works well, but I have had one glaring problem with it. The clip for the bag's strap cut a hole in the bag's fabric. This hole exposes the laptop compartment to air, moisture, all the things I want the bag to protect it from. This is an inexpensive bag, I wasn't expecting it to last forever. I was hoping to get more than 6 months out of it, and I am particularly annoyed that the bag's own hardware caused the hole the in bag. This is why I'm bringing my rating down to 2 stars.My original 4-star review, written when I'd been using the bag for less than a week, follows:This is a good quality bag, with padding to protect a laptop. This has enough pockets and room to carry your everyday items without being bulky. (I can carry a large file folder, a pencil case, a pad, and some cables/plugs etc, along with a 15" laptop.) I've only had it a few days now, so I can't speak to its long-term durability. But it feels solid and well-constructed. The padded shoulder strap and handles are a nice touch.There are two things I wish were a little different. One, I wish the laptop section were separate from the main section. The whole compartment is padded, but anything in that compartment can bang against the laptop. (The very delicate retina displays on current Mac laptops make me worried about this.) Two, I wish the bag had one or two outside pockets for storing an umbrella and water bottle. Those are two everyday items I often want to carry with me. Aside from that, I'm happy with this bag.

I own about a dozen laptop and tablet bags, including some name brands. This is the first AmazonBasics I have ever bought. I hesitated because some reviewers complained about insufficient padding. Since it is so inexpensive, I decided to give it a try.Surprisingly, the padding is not thin at all. It is actually among the best in its category. I own virtually every kind of laptop bags. Only suitcase style laptop cases have thicker padding than this, if you don't mind carrying that weight.I am very satisfied. I am sure I will buy more AmaxonBasics products in the future.Update on 1/2/2016Downgraded from 5 stars. The shoulder pad is broken.The shoulder pad is designed to have problem. The cloth on one side is too thin. The strap keeps cutting the edges of the curved pad In only a little more than two months, the pad is broken.

I got this for my Lenovo Yoga 3 14". It fit the laptop and a few accessories very well. The shoulder pad is clunky and poorly designed so I got rid of it. The clips are also a little awkward, and were partially responsible for the accident that broke my laptop screen.I was reaching to adjust the clip while the bag was on my shoulder. The clip had twisted upside down. It came undone after very little pressure and the bag fell from my shoulder. It landed on fairly soft dirt, but the bag has almost no padding--particularly on the corners. It fell not very far, and I assumed it was fine. However when I got to work and pulled it out the corner of my touchscreen had cracked pretty badly.The bag is pretty good for carrying if you are careful of the clips, and it is a good slim size. However it is not helpful for protecting your laptop.

This bag has two significant problems that really should be addressed.Firstly, the padding is insufficient in the bottom corners. There is enough padding at the bottom and sides, but almost no padding at the corners, which are the most vulnerable points on your laptop.Secondly, the shoulder strap attaches to the bag with two plastic clips, and they can let go when least expected, especially when the strap was a little twisted before picking it up. This has happened to me on multiple occasions.The combination of these two problems has led to my laptop suffering corner damage from falling onto pavement when I picked up my bag by the strap, and it decided to let go.If you have a nice laptop, this is an accident waiting to happen.

I never thought I’d write a review over such a trivial detail of a product, but the side that the zipper is on is kind of inconvenient. It’s on the long side of the computer and this makes it difficult to remove the laptop out of a bag without removing the bag first. The covering I had before had an opening on the short side of the computer, making it easy to slip the computer out of it and the backpack simultaneously. I think I am going to switch back to this old case because this new one is a little bit unfriendly when I’m shuffling my laptop in and out of my backpack in a rush... decent case with high quality material but I guess not for me?

The bag protects my laptop well. however, the zipper was broken upon arrival which meant I couldn't close the bag. This puts my laptop at risk of falling out, which is actually more dangerous than leaving it naked. I'll probably just make a new zipper myself but its still very frustrating to have a brand new bag broken right out of the box.

I loved it at first but soon changed my mind after I washed it. I washed it once and dried it up properly. Then, the color started to fade. I know the fading color is not noticeable since the case's original color is black. But the fading color tainted my laptop and it was really hard to remove. I used three or four alcohol pads and spent more than 5 minutes to get rid of the color on my laptop.

I have a relatively slim messenger bag for my MBP 15 and I wanted to place a sleeve in it to give the MBP 15 a bit more protection. Sadly, the sleeve is too big to fit into the bag and there is about an inch of space all around the MBP-- not snug at all. I almost thought I was mistakenly sent the model for 17" notebooks.It is certainly not easy to make a 'universal' sleeve to work with a number of different notebook form factors. I wonder if Amazon was designing this sleeve around 15" notebooks made 10 years ago?? ;-)Fortunately, Amazon as an excellent return policy.

Nice construction. However, this AmazonBasics 11.6 inch laptop sleeve's internal dimensions are listed as 11.75" x 0.4" x 8.5", and my Lenovo tablet's dimensions are 11.5" x 0.35" x 8.3". The sleeve's corners are too rounded, so it will not zip closed with tablet inside.

I gave this item two stars because it looks nice, is a great price and amazon made the return process easy. Upon receiving the item I was very excited; however, I was soon disappointed when I realized the purple color was bleeding and stained my plastic laptop case. What a bummer. Otherwise, this would have been a great buy.

I wanted something that I could take on business trips and wouldn't attract the type of attention I presume would be given to my Alienware in a conference room. The form factor and build quality were good enough, but the screen was awful. Very blurry and poor color saturation.

On paper this is a fantastic machine. If only it were built out of parts that could maintain their specifications for more than three hours.Seriously fast setup, fast computer, nice display and good feel on the keyboard. The touchpad leaves a bit to be desired, feels a bit like it might fall apart on the next double click.Got the thing running, waited the required 3 hour charge as recommended by ASUS. Life is great, I love this laptop. Wake from sleep and wifi adapter is gone. About 5 hours of troubleshooting, driver installation, and even system reset (nice feature) later, I must conclude the wifi adapter is actually ghosted from the system at the hardware level.If the basic components can't even sustain a sleep cycle, or whatever madness happened after tipping the screen back open, then what an I think of the more critical components?Its possible I'm one of the few outliers in the bad reviews. It's possible you buy this badass computer and have no problems with it. It's also possible ASUS is cool with having no quality control.This machine is great if you get a unit without the devastating problems others have reported. It's super fast and huge bang for the buck. I ignored the few negative reviews because of so many awesome reviews, and am currently waiting for a refund.It'll work out better for you.

I have had a lot of trouble with this laptop. It could just be that I got a lemon, I don't know. This is my second Asus laptop. I never had any problems with my older one. Since the day I got this the date and time change for no reason. I keep manually changing it back and it keeps going ahead by months. The automatic time change options don't work. Sometimes this causes websites not to work and Youtube not to work. This has caused me many headaches, trying to figure out what is going on. It let me use a pin to sign in to my profle for the first few times instead of my email. This was a nice time saver to log in...that option went away the first week. I have searched all through settings and no option works. When I close the laptop without signing out, it stays on and drains the battery. When I sign out to stop this battery drain and try to sign back in, it gives me a message that says resources are low or something and I have to restart the computer to be allowed to sign back into my profile. Keep in mind that I have never downloaded anything to this computer. I don't watch adult films or stream video from this computer. Until this point I have only browsed legitimate websites. Plus the AC wifi doesn't work well at all, so I don't even use it. It's possible that it's my router, I don't know. I have a fairly new Nighthawk. I bought this brand new but I often feel like it was refurbished or something. Like it came with a virus in it already. I spent a good chunk of change on this and it is not efficient at all. Like I said, maybe it's a lemon, but I cannot recommend this model of Asus.

One of the mounting screws on the back missing one. Keyboard face the lower right side have mechanical damage, a salient point. The left flank abnormal cracking, there is a big crack. The laptop can't boot up. I can provide clear pictures. Although the laptop can return, but give me the time and money loss. A very unpleasant shopping experience.Customer service, please give me a reasonable explanation!!!!!

Edit: After reply comment from customer service, changing from 2 to 1 stars. Luckily I am still in the 30 return window for amazon.Original review:Having considerable problems so far with this computer.1) the touchpad is awful. As other reviews mention, it is "bubbling." Meaning the pad is coming up off of where it is supposed to be attached, and as you can imagine this interferes with using it very well. If you purchase this computer, you'll need a mouse.2) I cannot get the date and time to work correctly. I understand how to use the auto and manual date and time adjustments in the control panel. However, when the computer goes into sleep mode, it wakes up with random dates and times. If I take it off auto location and back on it will correct itself, but obviously this isn't a permanent solution.3) The wifi adapter/driver has a ton of problems. Takes about 5 mins to connect initially. It will sporadically (every 15-30mins) disconnect from wifi and not be able to connect again for about 5 mins. Right now I'm writing this review on my phone and watching Friends on my Roku - all through the Wi-Fi. I'm just waiting for the computer to be able to reconnect (I have 300mb/s download and 60 mb/s through the router). The adapter thinks there is no connectivity through the router, :(.4) misc other stuff that I have to restart the computer for, like freezing up, the sound not working, connectivity issues though the HDMI, etc... I have to hit ctl-alt-del at least once a day to terminate something that's unresponsive. Pretty much all I'm using it for is school! ppts, pdfs, word docs, etc..The computer does do good work, from the hardware being solid - when it doesn't run into hiccups. However, it seems to be lacking in a lot of fundamental necessities. Looking back I would have bought a "lesser" computer that was better able to perform routine tasks. Especially if it had been for less money (and this computer was a "deal"!).

I am disappointed that this laptop didn't even last 30 days. Purchased as a Christmas present for my wife and at first it seemed to be exactly what she wanted. Lightweight but reasonably fast. I did notice that when you try and watch a movie that the sound was low and unacceptable. The next thing that was noticed was that the time was drifting. Time was reset to correct time but by morning the time was off by 6 plus hours. Later that night the laptop wouldn't even power upThere are some positives. Nice lightweight laptop and was able to keep up with some light gaming.Cons: Sound amplification was terrible, Display is poor and now won't even boot. Sending in for a RMA.11 months later sending in the laptop for another RMA. If I could give ASUS a negative 5 rating I would. You expect more from ASUS and they are not able to deliver a reliable laptop. So disappointed that I will be buying future laptops from other manufacturers.

Bought it for my employee because of it's price. But I would not use it ever. Feels very cheap and not well designed. Come on amazon you can do better!

Actually, it is a very nice item for the price. However, I purchased it as it was recommended with Lenovo Yoga 11e, and it does not come close to fitting. Well, it comes close, but you CAN NOT slide laptop itself into bag. No way, no how.

Product is small and light as advertised. However I would not recommend this if you're traveling with a suitcase. Normally on the back of laptop cases you can slip the laptop on the handle of the suit case. They made the hook to small, so it makes it difficult to handle the bag and suit case

I hate to do it. Honestly, I do. The case was great and fit my Toshiba Satellite snug and securely. Plenty of pockets for the mouse, USB cords, the charger, etc. Plenty of room. Life was good.Then it happened. The strap unclipped itself while I was leaving my office this afternoon. You see, they are intended to be free spinning, typical straps. Except when it doesn't twist, it will come off. Another review I read mentioned this. "Nah, that's just a once in a blue moon scenario" I told myself after reading it. I shuddered the same phrase as I watched the case fall corner first. Not even enough time to realize what had happened, as it was only hanging from my shoulder....Opened the bag to find my 850 dollar laptop with a dented frame and shattered screen. That was hours ago, and now here I am. Return processed and a backpack ordered. Just get a backpack, It's not worth the risk to your electronics. There isn't enough padding. Learn from my mistakes! Look at the carnage and don't let it happen to yours!!

The laptop bag is very small and does not have good padding to protect the laptop. The bag is very thin. Cheap material used to manufacture the bag. I returned it.

The shoulder strap on the bag simply popped loose one day, causing my laptop to make fast friends with the concrete and breaking the laptop.

I go for this because I see those good ratings and I trust the amazon branded product. However, it is a huge disappointment for the sleeve smells soooooo bad! smells like some terribly burned plastics!(but you know the fact that it's not made out of something plastic!) it's weird and awful! The one I purchased from some other unknown brand with the same price doesn't have any weird smell! Very disappointed

The product started out great but after a couple of weeks the zipper became very hard to open and close. Still works but it sucks because of the zipper. I would never buy this product again and not recommend it to anyone.

The size - watch very carefully - keep in mind that computers generally have square corners not rounded corners and they are not flat

very poor quality the zipper is damage after a week of very light usage

Completely poor fit - Dell 11.6 3000 series. Far too tight and could cause more damage than it prevents. General dissapointment with this product. Space should be a tad more generous.

After using only 4 uses the zipper jammed and broke when I forced it to get my computer out.
