5 Stars Fits my Lenovo S10 perfectly
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Anyone that has a small 10 inch laptop would appreciate the size of this carrying bag. It’s not much bigger than my purse. I really do like the size. Highly recomended.

5 Stars Perfect for Samsung NC10
Found this very professional looking case at Staples for my new Samsung NC10-14GB 10.2-Inch Netbook (1.6 GHz Intel Atom Processor, 1 GB RAM, 160 GB Hard Drive, 6 Cell Battery, XP Home) Blue. My netbook fits perfectly inside the case with enough room for my Logitech V470 Bluetooth Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks (Blue) and cord attachment without looking bulky.

5 Stars Great case for the ACER Aspire One 6-cell
I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One (6 cell version) and ended up spending a surprising amount of time looking for a case for it before tripping across this one. I am happy to report that it is a perfect fit. Moreover, it has a full size external zipper pocket that is roomy enough to hold both the Samsung external optical drive I purchased for the machine and the battery charger without adding any appreciable bulk. The detachable shoulder strap is the option I particularly wanted since I often do not have a free hand when traveling. The only mystery is why Amazon does not list this case among the suggested cases for the ACER machine since it is an excellent choice.

5 Stars Nice case, looks bulky, but nicely put together
I found this case in Staples. At first I did not like the way it looked, very bulky. Bought it anyway, it was the only netbook case in stock. Fits the new Aspire One with large battery perfectly. There is a lot of padding, straps and room to store additional supplies, etc. I plan to keep the bag now. It is what is…. nice workmanship, nicely put together, I even kind of like the bulk.

5 Stars Great Netbook case
Targus TNC101US Sport Netbook Case for up to 10.2-Inch Netbooks (Black/Grey) This is a great case for my ASUS Eee PC 1000HE netbook. It is a perfect size and well padded to provide great protection for the contents. Despite its small size, it also has enough room for the power adapter plus cord, a Logitech V450 Nano Mouse, a LiteOn eSAU208-31 Slim Line External DVD Burner and the power adapter and cord for the latter. With some careful packing, I can also include the Targus slimline power inverter and cables in order to use the netbook in my car or plug it into an airline seat on longhaul flights. Only gripe, my case arrived without the advertised padded shoulder strap and with 4 smaller and inadequate carrying straps. Targus responded well to my complaint and quickly sent me a very nice padded strap to replace the missing one. I purchased this Targus case fom DataVis.com but do not bothering to call Datavis if you encounter any problem, they are just an on-seller and will only refer you to Targus, anyway. I can strongly recommend this case from a functionality perspective but it is still too early to comment on its durability although it seems pretty sturdy and I would expect it to last well. It looks attractive too and the black and silver exterior perfectly complements the Asus Netbook it contains. The case is designed to allow you to actually use the netbook while in the case without needing to remove it, if you wish, which is great while flying. Highy satisfied with this purchase and at the advertised price, it is an unbeatable value.

2 Stars Bag too small
I have this bag. To say that it is too small for the tiny netbook should say it all. The netbook is tiny, this bag is the same size. It will hold your netbook and only your netbook. The outside pocket is not made to hold anything thicker than paper. I can manage to jam the power cord for the netbook into the outside pouch but it then bulges outward unnecessarily and probably puts pressure on the actual netbook. It is a very tight fit. I bought this bag from the manufacturer of my netbook (Dell) and it came with a set of accessories also made by Targus. You would think that if you were bundling netbook accessories with a netbook bag, that there would be room enough in the bag for the accessories. You would think that, but you would be wrong. The USB mouse is about the size of my thumb, it’s almost too small to use, and it doesn’t fit in the bag. They make a set of speakers which fold up to be slightly larger than a deck of cards, and they don’t fit in the bag. What is the point of selling netbook accessories with your netbook bag if the accessories don’t fit in the bag? Now I have to carry a second bag to hold my accessories. FAIL.

Although, if you only want to carry the netbook, this bag is perfect. You’ll be able to get the power cord in the bag, but it would be an uncomfortable fit.

5 Stars Exactly What You’d Expect
This little guy is not only cute with it’s chocolate and blue coloring, but it works quite well. It is the perfect size to sit on your lap and keeps your legs from getting too hot with you laptop resting on it.

5 Stars the best
I bought this item the christmas before last when my kids gave me my laptop computer. It is wonderful, last year my daughter was here from Los Angeles and used it and loved it so I sent her one for her birthday. She and her husband both use it and find it. Her laptop is a larger model and this item is reversable for the l5inch models and l8 in models it works great for both sizes.

I would recommend this to anyone.

5 Stars Nice!
Nice and light, decent quality, keeps laptop far away from your lap to minimize heat. Once you use it you’ll take it all over the house! Added plus, the Asus 1008HA Netbook fits inside the cushion for storage!

5 Stars Perfect
I love this notebook stand. It keeps your lap cool, puts your laptop at a good angle and looks nice.

5 Stars I use this thing everyday and it’s amazing!
I was nervous after reading some of the negative reviews on this product but still needed a laptop stand for when I’m working on the couch. I am happy to say that the product works incredibly well. It provides great support for your computer and is extremely comfortable to use. I have used the cooling pads with the fans and they do keep your laptop cooler but they are much bulkier and seem to be overkill in my opinion. I think one of the best features is the space in the middle of the cushion because you are able to put your laptop adapter in there. Overall a great product that I use everyday!

3 Stars mobile usb speakers ironically not practically mobile
pros: decent sound quality when it works, no extra power adapter or battery needed.

cons: uses usb connection only, sometimes there are usb connection problems when you move the laptop around causing sound to drop out and the V20 audio device to disappear in windows.

analysis: mobile speakers ironically not very useful in a mobile environment

if you just plug it into your laptop’s usb and you don’t move the laptop around, then you’re good.

but say if you’re in your car and you want to use bettery quality speakers than your laptops built in speakers, the usb connection can be a problem as it may cut off causing you to have to restart the media player’s application in order for sound to play back again. (unlike using headphone plugs, when moving your laptop around, you can’t just unplug the usb and plug it back in)

5 Stars good speakers
Bought these for travel for music composing. They will do just fine.

portable, light weight and sound is good.

5 Stars Rad speakers
I really like these speakers. They are lightweight and easy to store in their carrying case. Just what i was looking for.

4 Stars portable, sounds great
Pros -

These speakers are perfect for traveling in their very nice little case. I plugged them in and they sound great. They look great and stand up well with rubber coated feet. They display a large green volume bar on the screen while adjusting volume. Nice smooth base that doesn’t sound distorted when turned up.

Cons -

The top two or three volume levels severly distort the sound and are unlistenable, this may be my computer and not the speakers. They are still plenty loud a few notches down though. The plug from the 2nd speaker to the first doesn’t always seat right so no sound comes out of the 2nd speaker until you adjust it. It would be nice if it would reliably make a solid connection. My biggest gripe would be the control buttons on top. They require a decent amount of pressure to actuate and there is no feedback so the only way you know they are working is watching the volume on your screen. Overall a great product for traveling with my laptop.

My setup: Xotic PC Force 3551 laptop (MSI-1651 platform) – on board sound card.

4 Stars Wonderful–if only they wouldn’t move!
These speakers are awesome. I have a Dell m1210 laptop, which has horrible built in sound.

By contrast, I plugged in my Logitech V20 and boom–everything sounded so much better. I’m not an audiophile, so I can’t give a rating about the frequencies and such, but, I listen to music 6-8 hours a day (usually a combination of indie rock, drum and bass, and female vocalists), and I was happy with these speakers.

There’s a small annoyance in how Windows handles USB speakers–you have to restart your audio player whenever you unplug or plug in the speakers. But my much, much bigger annoyance is that the speakers vibrate.

When I’m listening to something with even slightly heavy base (I’m talking Regina Spektor here, not rap) at a decent/loudish volume, the speakers will actually move while on my desk. And continue to move, onto the floor, at times, or knocking stuff off my desk if I’m not paying attention.

Absolutely ridiculous. Luckily, I’m a college student, so I have plenty of heavy textbooks around–I just put one on top of each speaker and problem solved. But, I would be happier if the speakers had better traction.

All in all, great purchase, especially for the price.

4 Stars Case Logic Netbook case
Nice case for carrying your Netbook, I only wish that it had a seperate compartment for the power adapter.

4 Stars Nice bag!
The bag was the right size, even fitting better than the one that came with my new netbook. My portable mouse fit nicely into the pocket. I only wish there was a little more room for other items, i.e., paper. Otherwise, a great value. It was also delivered several days earlier than expected.

5 Stars Great Product!
This is a great little case for any netbook. It has pouch for the power supply and accessories. Very much recommended!

4 Stars Carrying Case for Asus Eee PC 1000HE Netbook
Purchased this case to carry my Asus 1000HE netbook computer. The computer fits well and I haven’t scratched the case while zipping it shut.

The outer pocket is just large enough for the power cord, charger and an external wireless mouse.

5 Stars Good Lightweight Protection for a 10-inch Laptop/Netbook
This is a nice-looking soft case for a laptop or netbook.

Good:

- It fits computers up to 10-inches diagonal. (It fits an Acer Aspire One 10.1-inch perfectly.)

- Zipper motion is smooth and easy, and can be accomplished with one hand (without tugging on the case in the opposite direction).

Mixed:

-There is a single outer pocket with will hold small things like USB keys, but fitting an AC power cable will be tight.

-This case will not offer as much protection as a full-sized case, but is smaller to carry around and easily fits inside a book bag.
