Great travel briefcase!

A have a bit of a bag addiction. I admit it. However, it does give me a better leg to stand on when it comes to reviews. This bag is made incredibly well with strong zipper pulls and top notch stitching. Of course what else would you expect from Samsonite. What I like most about it is the size. I didn't want to go to meeting looking like a flight attendant pulling a bag behind me. This is the perfect size. It has ample padding, protection and pockets to hold my Surface Book, iPad Pro and all their accessories plus a few pockets for files and papers. Well worth the money.

Great case...a little bulky. Needs re-design.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this case to protect my Surface Book Pro w/ Performance base. I ended up returning as this one does not fit the performance base due to it being a little thicker. However, I did order the correct model for my surface book and am reviewing based on that. They are basically identical. I read many reviews and some complained that it is hard to get the tablet back onto the base with this case. Its not. I can put it back on one handed. If anything there would be only one annoyance and one complaint that I would have. Annoyance...its a little bulky for my taste. However, your protecting a $2500+ machine. A little extra protection isn't a bad thing. Complaint...with this case installed you are unable to reverse the tablet and fold it back on the keyboard for a thick tablet mode. This has as much (or more) to do with the fact that the performance base has a rounder curve on the top of the keyboard. So if you use your surface book in that "thicker tablet" mode this is not the case for you. I am giving this review 3 stars instead of the 4 I would have for that reason. If they could thin down the plastic on the back tablet side where it meets the keyboard it would be a great improvement.

I finally pulled the trigger...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I came very close to purchasing the original Surface Book when it was released but after reading many reviews I opted not to. Fast forward to the release of the new Performance Base model...I decided to do it. I think the final kicker was the upgrade to the dedicated graphics. My usage is split between gaming (Fallout 4 mostly), web surfing (tablet mode) and a work laptop. This system is a great balance of all three. Its not a hard core gaming rig. If you're looking for that - look elsewhere. If I had one criticism of the Surface Book w/ Performance Base, it would be that the tablet battery life is a little light. If you were thinking you would use it mostly as a tablet without the base, I would recommend looking more towards the Surface Pro 4. However, if you need a good balanced rock solid machine - this is your device.

Webroot SecureAnywhere seems to do the job with minimal overhead. I don't seem to notice an abundance of annoying pop ups and what not as seen with other security suites.

Amazing game...campaign is incredible.

Most games focus on the multiplayer game modes and the campaign/story mode is an after thought. This game has a great campaign and is very challenging at times. Graphics are incredible. It would have gotten 5 stars from me but the replay ability just isn't there as much.

Excellent product...Great place of purchase.

It seems almost pointless to do a review of the iPad as its been around forever. However, I have purchased several iPads over the years. Each better than the next. This iPad Air 2 was purchased as a Christmas gift for my wife as she is still rockin' the Ipad 3. This is soooo much lighter and faster. The best part is I bought it a month ago and since - the price has dropped lower. I took it back to Best Buy with receipt and they dropped another $27 off the price. Living up to their name..... "Best Buy".

Great sound and stay in place well!

OK. I admit it...I do have a bit of an addiction when it comes to headphones. However, this does give me many to compare. I have always been a fan of Skullcandy headphones in general. These headphones do a fantastic job of staying in place and sound great. I am very pleased with them. I have worn them for a least two hours at a time and do not have any ear discomfort. I have a set of Beats ear buds that i'm ready to pull my ears off after 30 minutes. These are a winner.

How big

Each speaker is a little bigger and thicker than a pack of playing cards. The cables connect to the bottom of each speaker and act as a stand.
