Instant Washington Post Bestseller "Brims with a surprising amount of insight and practical advice." --The Wall Street Journal Daniel H. Pink, the #1 bestselling author of Drive and To Sell Is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets to good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home.
Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology, biology, and economics, Pink reveals how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden patterns of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain breaks dramatically improve student test scores? How can we turn a stumbling beginning into a fresh start? Why should we avoid going to the hospital in the afternoon? Why is singing in time with other people as good for you as exercise? And what is the ideal time to quit a job, switch careers, or get married? In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data on timing and synthesizes them into a fascinating, readable narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways that give readers compelling insights into how we can live richer, more engaged lives.

Well Padded, good zipper compartments
Size: 14 Inch, Style: 1-pack
This is a really basic case but it fits and looks amazingly great. This one fit my 15" laptop without any issues. The padded interior provides a bit of protection. The zipper side pockets are perfect. I use this to visit different campuses and holds just enough for field work. The price is right and compared to the name bags, this is a great bargain for a quality case.

Great no-frills bag. Slim and compact, but still holds plenty.
Size: 17.3 Inch, Style: 1-pack
I needed a case for my new HP Pavilion 17" laptop.
I didn't need anything fancy or with all kinds of special features. I didn't need one with a lot of extra storage space beyond what was required for the laptop, its power adapter and cord, and a small mouse. And above all I didn't want one with a large, bulky profile, one that would feel like I was carrying--or rolling--a small suitcase.
Turns out this AmazonBasics bag was just what I was looking for.
It is indeed slim and compact, and it's lightweight to boot (only weighing about 1 lb.). And even when it's filled to the brim and weighs a good bit more, it STILL looks slim and compact.
For its economical price point, it is constructed very well, and thus should be quite durable for light to moderate use. The stitching is very tight and clean, with even strong, "zipper-stay" stitching being included on this inexpensive bag. The zippers themselves (which I tend to be picky about) are of very good quality, and open and close without much effort. The zipper pulls are ample in size and weight, and are very strong and sturdy. In other words, they're NOT cheap.
I appreciate the case's simple yet thoughtful design. I especially like the single, large, zippered pocket on the front "face" of the bag, where you can easily and conveniently keep oft-used items such as your phone, keys, power bank, and so forth. Too many laptop bags' outside pockets are unzippered, which I find both impractical and unsafe.
The AmazonBasics bag holds my laptop snugly and securely, yet I can still manage to squeeze in extra padding (about 3/8" thick and 1.5" wide) all around its perimeter. I do this because the case provides only the most minimal of padding throughout. (Mind you, I wouldn't have expected sufficiently thick padding on a bargain bag such as this one, but it's worth bringing attention to nonetheless.) The upshot here is that, as well constructed as this case is, it's not designed to protect our laptops from accidental drops onto hard surfaces. There simply isn't enough shock-absorbing padding.
But frankly I'm not that worried about accidental drops. Rather, for my most pressing general needs--storing or transporting my laptop and keeping it free from dust, scratches, dents and the like--this AmazonBasics bag really fits the bill. It's easy to carry, and it's easy (and quick) to access your laptop.
I'm VERY happy with it, would buy another one without hesitation, and I highly recommend it!
Finally, my goal as a reviewer is always to try and help others make better informed decisions about potential Amazon products they may be considering. Toward that end, I hope in some small way that you may have found this helpful. Thanks for reading my review. Best of luck with your shopping!

For 12.4 tablet with hard case on
Size: 14 Inch, Style: 1-pack
I got this black carrying case for my tablet and it fits well inside and you have room still if you want to carry like cables or some documents and stuff. Now only thing I wish that it was better was inside padding but for the price it is still decent as I have a case on my tablet and hard one for the matter so I just needed carry bag to carry around and it would be fine for me for anyone else think it thru as padding is not very protective inside but other then that nice quality bag and feels sturdy
