Reddit reviews AmazonBasics 13.3-Inch Laptop Sleeve - Black

check for physical defect, test all your physical part.

check for the screen, make sure it have minimum light bleeding. check for the front camera, the back cam. check for the infrared cam.

check the keyboard and the trackpad if they are okay, the feel of it and how the trackpad scrollability.

check the pen, the 2 buttons on it if they work, check the pen pressure by written on the screen, check the screen by coloring it using the pen on any of the drawing software.

test your bluetooth (pen pairing should do the trick), check your wifi on both 2.4 and 5ghz.

check location if it detect you correctly, check the brightness of the screen (for dead pixel, light bleed and flickering).

test sound loudness.

---------------

with all that, okay now you can test on software

install coretemp to set active monitoring of cpu temperature.

install both anti virus and anti malware tools of your choice (im using both nod32 and malwarebytes), do not skip this, be it you are tech-wise or not, malware and virus can hide behind virtually any "normal" looking site, it can hide behind a normal looking ads or web page. common sense for computer that run on windows tell you to install despite many "tech savvy" folks tell you not to, because windows is a computer system that hackers want to steal and grab your data from and has the largest community in it compared to other OS. protect yourself.

install gfx tools that check your gfx capability, such as benchmark tool. this can tell you if your gfx is working within the good range.

update your generic intel iris driver to beta so you can switch off that irritating auto dimming function.

additional :

you can install intel cpu utility tool to mod the CPU speed, please read online for more info how to do, the benefit some says is that you can optimised the cpu usage and not heating up every time when you run any program. when the cpu heat up, the fan start, this will cost you some battery life to upkeep it.

alternatively, you can modify the hkey register (read online again for how to), to enable the power settings to allow you to configure cpu state. you can set it to 60% max when doing work etc to save power.

case wise, i would not advise any case but i would advise you to get skins. skin from decalgirl is good and easy to put on. the reason why no case is because any extra housing will cause your device to have dust scratches. dust will find its way into the case and it WILL scratch no matter how well protected you handle your device. it apply to any thing actually from phones to computers.

you do not need screen protector period.

the pen will have stain if you place it near any dark items. take note of that. it is also very prone to get scratch.

you would want to get a wireless mouse for this, check ebay for those built in battery cheap mouse at 2BGP. it work wonderfully.

Mach einfach um den Laptop so eine Hülle, schmeiß den zusammen mit dem Netzteil in irgendeinen beliebigen Rucksack und fertig. Laptop-Rucksäcke sind was für Dorks.

Glad to see that the old CB2 is still in the game. I've had one myself for about 2 years now and it's still going strong, so it's definitely not obsolete (especially not for 90$). It can get slow sometimes, but hey, every laptop does. There is some creaking because the thing is plastic, and it has some dings and scratches because I didn't baby it, but it's a great collage machine.

Extensions and apps:

• Join by joaoapps is amazing. It's a Pushbullet alternative, but more powerful and cheap (5$ for the whole package).
  
  
• For music I would recommend Enjoy music player (if you have an offline playlist that you could put on a SD card)
  
  
• Writer is a great text editor with auto-save function and material design (Calmly writer is another great option). They both work offline.
  
  
• JSTorrent for .torrent files
  
  
• uBlock origin
  
  Concerning the battery - like DJ_SYRUP said, don't keep it on the charger, and I would add that you keep the battery level between 20 and 80 % to maximize it's lifespan. Also, I carry mine in a normal messenger bag, and the AmazonBasics laptop sleeve is a lifesaver.

  Enjoy!

This is the one I have - only $10 and fits the SP3 and keyboard cover perfectly: http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-NC1303152-13-3-Inch-Laptop-Sleeve/dp/B00CD8AF48/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

AmazonBasics 13.3 inch laptop sleeve. I have a bag I use, since I have a lot to take to and from work, but the sleeve fits my Surface Pro 4 just fine, with enough room for a Logitech wireless USB sticking out of the right side of the surface, and the pen attached to the left side.

I've used these for tablets and other laptops, and have had no issues with them.

Snug fit and nice and simple design

Sorry, did not see the second one. Hmm, i think the Aucase one might be a snugger fit. Plus its just a neoprene sleeve so there will be some flexibility to stretch. The Domiso one is 1.6in wider than the X220 so that may be too loose.

Here is my amazon basics 13.3in one. This one's dimensions are pretty close to the Aucase one.

I have this Amazon Basics case for when I go to class: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CD8AF48/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have sleeves for my laptops, my Wacom, even for a Thinkpad keyboard and I have various kinds of bags/backpacks. The 13.3-Inch sleeve I use for the keyboard is bigger but can be used with the C302. While I prefer to keep my stuff organized and safe, I realized that it's counterproductive to have a very slim Chromebook and then buy a bulky case or sleeve for transportation. I looked through all the offers on Amazon and other stores and couldn't find a convincing product worth its money. Typical sleeves like the ones I already have make the device twice has thick, special laptop (bag) cases are the same just thicker and less useful (more useless pockets, carrying handles and/or shoulder straps) and then there are the pretentious overpriced felt sleeves. If you are worried about scratches get one of these protectors called "skins" or get crafty and creative yourself. Save the money and additional weight, just get a good bag or backpack from a company that also offers high quality travel, sports or fashion bags and gear instead of random computer bags and other stuff with typical out-of-place looks.

Isn't that almost the same as what I'm currently using?

I use their cases for my phones all the time and love them. For my SP4 I use the 13in Amazon basics laptop sleeve. its very cheep, fits perfect, and gives decent protection while in my bag.

it's not "made for it" but really for $10, it's really been great.

I like the Tenba Messenger DNA 15. The Surface Book fits well in the padded laptop area. I also use the Amazon Basics 13.3 Laptop Sleeve

I would not be using a messenger bag tho. I would be using a laptop sleeve like this.

Then I think it's a waste of money since I was also going to buy a bag for it, like this one (there should be a link here lol)

I really like the AmazonBasics one, it's super cheap. Simple, plain black design, not flamboyant in any way.

Here's one with the plain black

And another more stylish version

It fits like a freakin glove. Its quite wonderful if you are just looking at something that protects your surfacebook while in a bag.

I do too carry my mbp in my backpacks laptop compartment but recently I've started using this amazon sleeve because of the dust that gets stuck in those compartments.Personally I'd recommend you use a sleeve(thin and without the padding so you won't feel the added weight) just so your mac remains clean and dust free.

The amazonbasics 13in sleeve fits relatively well. However, it does have a little bit of wiggle room (~.5 in) near the zipper.
