Targus Traveler Zip-Thru Case By Xeno
I saw a review on a similar case by the same company just a different size on G4 and this carrying case has a great deal of functionality. There is plenty of room to carry lots of gear. The amount of gear I had in this thing I'll list below to give an idea.
17" Widescreen laptop
Laptop Battery charger
Sennheiser Headphones w/ Boommic
XB360 Wired game controller
Intuos4 Small Graphics Tablet w/ its accesories
32" CAT5 LAN Cable
Wired G5 Gaming Mouse
Anywhere from 10-20 CDs/DVD's in compartment
Thumbdrive
Samsung i8 Digital Cam pc hookup accessories
Cellphone + charger
This thing can hold quite a bit and maybe even a little more. It's very durable has a comfortable carrying strap as well as handles. The hidden pocket compartments are a decent size to slip in some small devices like cellphones and/or digi cams. The material is solid and the zippers are durable. There's really not a whole lot more you can say about a laptop case like this. If you're looking for something that can hold quite a bit of stuff then this is something to invest in.Convenient for airport security By Sactokw
Recently got the Targus zip thru. Used it on a casual business trip. Convenient as I did not have to unzip my laptop to go thru security.
One side of bag is for laptop: I have a heavy 17' HP laptop; fits well; there's strap and padding in bag to hold laptop and prevent damage.
Other side of bag is for other stuff: There's enough room for wires, rechargers, books, and whatever you want to stuff. I'm a light traveller so the amount of room was more than enough.
It's lightweight; especially good for heavy 17' laptops. The shoulder strap was OK (could have been longer) and fairly comfortable (could use more padding); it may be difficult on bigger people to strap across the opposite shoulder. I did not have any problems with shoulder pain. The hand carry is made of leather and very comfortable. The bottom had rubber stops to prevent sliding.
In terms of durability, the bag was well made and appears sturdy, but I've only had it for about a month.
Drawbacks: If you want wheels or want to look ultra-professional (e.g. high fashion or leather), this is not the bag.Warning! Smaller than described By Stan
I spent over an hour choosing a bag for my brand-new Dell laptop, which measures 17x11 inches. This bag, at 18 x 15 x 5 inches according to Amazon, seemed to fit the bill.
Unfortunately, Amazon's description is wrong. When my laptop wouldn't fit, I measured the bag, and found it's barely 17 inches on the outside. There's a Targus hang tag that gives exterior dimensions at 17x13.78x6.5 and laptop compartment at 16.5 inches, which seems accurate, so I don't know why Amazon has wrong dimensions. Yes, I've reported the bad description.
I'm going on a trip tonight and now I can't take my new laptop, so I'm pretty unhappy with Amazon. PLUS, I have to start all over and hope that the next bag I order from Amazon will be accurately described. (There's no selection locally for my size laptop.)
Don't pay any attention to the stars -- Amazon's site wouldn't accept this review unless I put *something*.
