Key Features

Who It's For

The Smatree A800XL is aimed at gamers and power users who own an 18 in ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 or G18 laptop and need robust, transport-ready protection without moving to a full backpack. It is a good match for people who carry multiple accessories - power brick, mouse, external keyboard and tablets - and want a single sleeve that keeps items organized and protected.

Those who should look elsewhere include users who need a very lightweight sleeve for minimal everyday carry or anyone who requires a backpack with larger external pockets and back support for long treks. Also check your charger and accessory sizes against the internal dimensions if you carry unusually bulky adapters.
