Customer Reviews:
A nice ‘subdued’ laptop bag
My primary concern when buying a laptop bag or case is that it protect the laptop. Second, that it doesn’t look like ‘thief bate.’ This Targus bag meets both of those criteria. It’s a nice subdued looking bag, modern enough with clean lines, but not glamorous in a way that will attract attention. It’s a professional bag, with adequate storage options for your peripherals (mouse, charger, pens, paper, etc). The quality of the build is better than average if not perfect. I would have liked a heavier gauge zipper, since those always seem to be the first thing to go on the bags I’ve owned in the past. I also would have liked a thicker, longer shoulder pad. The attached pad is barely adequate for a large man.
The storage compartments are laid out logically and the bag clam-shells to allow easy security check pass through at the airport.
Overall I’m quite pleased with the bag, especially since it matches the color of my new Dell Studio 15 notebook.
For the price, this is a great option.
*****UPDATE 02/26/2010*****
The foam padded shoulder strap of the bag failed a few weeks ago. The stitching along one seam came out and with it the interior foam. I contacted Targus through their web-page to see about getting a replacement. They contacted me back within hours, and sent me a shipping notice for the replacement strap the next day. The new strap arrived and is actually better than the original (leather pad vs. vinyl). I am extremely impressed with both the promptness of Targus’ communication and with the ease of requesting support through their webpage. I was expecting a headache to get a new shoulder strap and instead it was remarkably easy. I’ll be giving them more business in the future knowing that: A. they stand behind their products, and B. they are very quick in assisting the customer. Well done Targus!
Great looking case!
This laptop case was purchased for my son-in-law as a Christmas gift. He has a very casual case and needed one that looked more professional to bring to meetings, etc.
He was very please with it. I thought it looked as though I had paid a lot more for it than I did, so I was pleased also. One more thing — the case is advertised for a 15.4″ laptop, but it will actually fit up to a 16″ laptop according to the packaging information. So if you have a little bigger laptop, but not a 17″, it will fit perfectly. Hope this helps.
Great laptop case
I love this laptop case. I had bought the same one at Best Buy for $20.00 more than it cost on Amazon (which I promptly took back and then purchased online). It’s sturdy and has room for everything I need. I had a more expensive, stylish women’s case that didn’t hold up. This bag is very functional and reliable.
