Good quality backpack. Every pocket is padded and the laptop part is very secure. Straps are comfortable and there's plenty of pockets for mice headphones and everything stays protected. Straps had a string pop shortly after using but I've had this backpak about a year now and the straps haven't had any issues so I'm assuming it was a decorative string.

Really nice machine- TERRIBLE TRACKPAD

I've only had this machine a month (plan to update review eventually), but I really love it. Boots fast on Windows 10 and runs my games on ultra graphics without an issue (For example: Elder Scrolls Online, Minecraft with a really high chunk radius).
Laptop is really beautifully designed and comfortable to use EXCEPT FOR THE TRACK PAD. Luckily I hate trackpad using unless absolutely necessary so I use a gaming mouse, but when I have used the trackpad I hate it. The buttons to click with are also part of the pad so while clicking your cursor slides off what you were trying to click unless you click the pad in the right spot. The Track-pad is also easily bumped by my palm while gaming sometimes (accidentally slice at important NPC surrounded by guards anyone?). Really surprised that such a nice laptop would have such a horrible trackpad feature. Luckily most gamers aren't big on using trackpads.
That being said this laptop really blazes and the screen is bright crisp and beautiful. The touch screen is responsive and easy to use. This laptop has just enough USB ports (2 on one side, 1 on the other which is nice). Power cable is nicely designed (rectangle plug so it wont spin around in the port). Back-lit keyboard is bright and really aesthetically pleasing. Right side of the laptop under the keyboard does get a tad bit warm but nothing I would be really worried about (laptop bottom has a little bump to help keep the laptop propped up for ventilation even on flat surfaces which is nice). I've gamed on it for 6-8 hours at a time with no problems and it doesn't go beyond a certain level of warmth (wont burn your hands or anything)
Can I just take a second to note how wonderful the sound is on this machine? By far the best sound I've ever heard from a laptop. I'm usually not one to concern myself with sound quality but after using this laptop I am so thrilled with it. The sound is not tinny or laptop sounding, it sounds like it comes from a desktop speaker system, really lovely sound.
Just as a note both the brushed metal top and the keyboard area FINGERPRINT LIKE CRAZY. You will never keep this thing looking spotless, never. But other than that it's a really lovely machine.
I would recommend this to any gamer. At the time I bought this, they were able to price match to New Egg for 100 cheaper than sticker price, definitely double check that before buying.
Also a CD/DVD external drive COMES IN THE BOX. So even though this laptop does not have a CD/DVD drive, there is a nice USB external one that works fine that comes in the box. No need to buy an extra one (was pleasantly surprised at this).

Bought this bag for my Lenovo Y700 gaming laptop. This bag is really nice and JUST BARELY closes around the edges of the Y700 (even though the laptop is a 15.6, do make sure to check dimensions of the full laptop and not just the screen when sizing out this bag).
My laptop fits snugly and securely in this bag. The bag is completely padded inside with soft padding (which wont scratch even the smoothest laptops) and is really sturdy feeling. The straps are nice and the pad on the straps is very comfortable. Minimal pocket space but holds my charger, gaming mouse and mouse pad with ease and some extra space (i was able to fit a cooling pad in the outer pocket that transforms into a Luggage strap). The luggage strap feature seems useful (haven't tried it) but you can zip that closed to use it as a nice flat pocket instead.
I really love this bag and would recommend it to anyone who wants to protect their laptop investment.

Just as a note, I definitely prefer the older naga model to this one (shape is more comfortable to me, love the exchangeable grips), but aside from that this is definitely the best gaming mouse you can buy. The buttons are all comfortable and easy to reach, the mouse is comfortable to hold and you can adjust the sensitivity to your preference (the software that you download from Razer for the mouse is really amazing). You can customize color settings, button mappings, and sensitivity (X and Y axis separate) for every game you play (you make profiles and can assign them each to their own game and the Razer software will automatically change profiles when you launch the game linked to that profile).
I have had my naga (the prior model) for over 5 years and absolutely love it (dropped it on asphalt and it still works perfectly, tough mouse) this new model (which I bought for my boyfriend) is just as high quality and has all the same features (and more, the tilt scroll wheel is new from the old model). Wireless or wired it is a really nice performing mouse. I would definitely recommend to any MMO player (this mouse makes Diablo III a one-handed game, takes your WoWing to the next level, and makes ESO feel really fluid). This mouse is also good for FPS players because you can map all your guns or action buttons (grenade, reload, map, quest journal, etc) so your left hand can focus on movement.
You can also assign keys to make browsing the web easier (zoom, back, forward, new window- I haven't done this but my boyfriend loves using his web browsing profile). Definitely recommend to anyone who needs a mouse for more than the basics (or wants a mouse that makes the basics easier).

Bought this mouse for my boyfriend who initially loved the design. After using we both agree the shape of the mouse is very comfortable and the wireless is nice. The buttons on the side of the mouse are easy to use but some of them are not configurable by default (they are fixed to certain mouse controls), and you need to download software from logitech in order to change these (which isn't included in the package and the instructions don't make that clear at first look).
Also the top buttons on the left click are in a very awkward place to reach while gaming. They are also defaulted to change DPI of the mouse upon clicking. This could be a useful feature but the DPI changing is so dramatic I doubt one would want to do this mid game. Again you need to download certain software to reprogram those buttons.
Nice mouse in all, good sensitivity and shape, however buttons are not as conveniently placed as some other gaming mice (like the naga)

Bought this pad to go with my Lenovo Y700 thinking it would help prevent overheating on such a powerful machine, after a few days of using it I found it wasn't keeping the laptop any cooler than playing without it. The fans were working and I had them positioned on the Lenovo's bottom intake vent but nothing was staying cooler. Then I realized my laptop does not have prominent side vents to allow the pushing of air from the pad to flow through the laptop at a rate that would help cool it. Basically if your laptop doesn't have large side vents, this pad may not do anything of value for you.
Product is easy to use and fairly quiet, just make sure your bottom vents match to the position of the fans and you have side vents it can funnel the air through otherwise you might have the same experience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, is it water proof?

No definitely not water proof. Rain won't soak into it immediately because of how the fabric is but I wouldn't rely on it at all for water resistance.

Does it come with 4Gb or Gb graphic card?

It has 8GB RAM on the machine, then the graphics card has 4GB dedicated ram on top of that.
Note that the laptop automatically switches from the integrated Intel graphics card to the NVIDIA 4GB graphics based on how much it's being used. So you won't experience the NVIDIA graphics while browsing the web or anything.

I am getting a 15.6 inch laptop. what size shell should i get?

In the specs for your laptop, review the exact dimensions of the laptop (not just the screen size) and compare them to the bag.
I bought a 15.6 Lenovo Y700 and this bag JUST BARELY snugly zips over the edges of it, but that's because the Y700 has a large base compared to the screen. Definitely double check dimensions before buying.

Can you program keys via Steam Link?

Hoping to use this mouse for my Steam Link as I like the feel plus the wireless gives us more distance away from the big screen tv. Will I still be able to program everything via my Steam Link? Or will I need to do so on my computer first, then transfer over to the link?
From what I experienced with the mouse it seems you need to download the Logitech software to reprogram any button mappings to other keys. Not sure if steam Link would have the ability to override the default settings (was unable to assign them in games)

Does your thumb and forefinger hurt after gaming a few hours?

Your thumb wouldn't hurt, the buttons on the side are pretty comfortably placed, but your forefinger may have trouble getting to those side buttons while actively playing a shooter or something. They are rather off to the side from normal mouse holding position. Not sure this would hurt or just get annoying.
