We rate it 8.4/10 (great) after buying and testing it ourselves. What we liked most: Premium Aesthetics: Features a TPU coating that gives it a textured, premium look and makes it water-repellent. Could be better: Non-Padded Laptop Sleeve: The laptop sleeve inside is not padded (though the external back padding compensates for it).
