how are the rippers? good & strong? Can the metal rippers scratch the laptop? any protective design around the rippers?

I have not had any problems with it scratching my laptop. I love the case. If by rippers you are referring to the zipper, I have not had a problem yet. I only bought my in August though. I also have a case cover on my laptop. The padding in it is rather thick, which is nice.

It's good and strong, it hasn't scratched the laptop for me thus far. It's protected on the outside in the sense of it being sown "hidden" but not the inside.

I've used my sleeve daily since early August and I have no issue with the rippers. They're sturdy and I don't anticipate them breaking anytime soon. I haven't experienced the rippers scratching my laptop; you can fold them back as you insert your laptop to further prevent them from scratching it... but I haven't had to do this and I see no scratches. I hope this helped!

The key is what are you putting on the lift? Your ultrabook would be ideal and no bending will occur. A heavy 17 inch laptop is resting on mine all the tine and I use it on my chest or lap any time it is not on a stand or desk. It can be easily scooted around for proper venting of your fan exhaust area. There is nothing else to compare to the cool lift honestly and I have the others sitting around so I know this!

They are expensive, but worth it. All the pc laptops I've had have failed on me. Apples last longer and you rarely have problems with them. But I'd research all you can on them to come to a decision.

Not sure what you're asking. Are you asking about the stoppers that keep your laptop from sliding off?

I've always found ThinkPads durable. I've even been able to drop mine (not very far) and it still works well. For being very out of date it's not a bad laptop because it can still handle most tasks.

Yes, best if your laptop is in a padded sleave. There is no padding in the pack, fit could be tight though.

I have a ASUS transformer 101. You can get a keyboard for it and connect like a laptop or disconnect and it's a tablet. With keyboard you also get extra battery life. As to punishment you could always get a good case. The ASUS has gorilla glas which is scratch resistant. Other than that you may want a ruggidized laptop. They are a variety available that can handle being run over by a car from what I hear.

Check the nomenclature! I bought the extra two year warranty. I use the laptop quite a bit as I am a little clumsy. Check around to ensure you are getting a good deal and read carefully exactly what is covered. Theft of laptops is a huge business! Get a good large book bag rather than the one offered. A large book bag ensured that I would never forget or leave my laptop unattended!!

No. Part of what makes them great. My laptop wasn't repairable and I got reimbursed within a week.

I appreciate the posts regarding the use of 17" laptops on lapdesks. It's difficult to find lapdesks designed for larger laptops, so I appreciate reading reviews about how good/bad the various products work.

I wrap a thin towel around it when I store it in the cupboard. It's really not as scary as it sounds, once you get used to handling it a little more carefully than a regular shredder. I've never cut myself on it. I think it's worth the little extra cation for such great shredding. And I don't want to overstate it. I'm just a little more conscientious -- not a big deal.

this is my second Acer laptop with a plastic body. The first one I bought for my grandson (12 years old) and even he couldn't break it. So I bought one for his mother and it has performed just as well. I wouldn't use it in construction sites or other hazardous environments. But other than that, I think it's fine.

Surprising they don't do any damage to a desk. Nothing you even have to scrape off. The only problem with me is I used a knife to take one off and i have a minor scratch on my desk lol

I'm also looking at silver Asus laptops.can anyone clarify whether the silver paint is durable? is it semi-scratch proof? if not, do you see faint gray or black lines through the white paint when you do scratch it?do the 8 edges get super scratched and you're left with gray-spotted or black-lined edges? does the silver paint looked matte when the paint is really worn or does it still look kind of glossy?Thanks !

They are sturdy, yet easy to tear off of the roll. I have never had problems with rips.

No mariaelena, it doesn't damage your Mac. I would say go for it, since it really protects your laptop from scratches that could occur within the palm rest. But I would say the protection around the mouse pad is useless. It sticks so closely that you won't be able to tap the track pad at ease. Also the soft tap on the mouse pad is not easily recognized because of the sticker. So just go for the one around it. It's will be cheaper.

The bottom piece comes off easy from the front of the laptop pulling down. The top piece is a pain to get off, I just took mine off the other day to clean my laptop. Not fun. Some pulling and prying required but it comes off undamaged.
