Customer Reviews
This is a review for the 14 Inch Widescreen black color model.
First the good:
1. Relatively compact size in width and depth.
2. Zippers are sturdy and move smoothly without binding.
3. Two compartments. One for laptop and another for accessories, pencil/pen, and other related items.
4. Outer compartment has zip, but is configured as two pockets.
5. Back pocket for magazine/newspapers.
6. Strap is 1.5" wide and sturdy like a seat belt. It is attached with a metal hook and firmly cross-stitched on the other side. This is generally hard to find on more inexpensive bags.
Now the bad:
1. It is snug for a 13.3" thin laptop like a MacBook Pro and would be hard to squeeze in a standard 14" Dell or HP.
2. The pockets don't expand and the zipper does not go down the sides at all, the zipper ends a couple of inches from the top on both sides.
3. A 13.3" MacBook Pro in a sleeve is a bit snug, but will work; however, with accessories in the 2nd compartment, like the power adapter, a couple of short cables and papers makes this bag hard to use.
4. It is more ideal for a netbook or a 12" thin laptop.
5. There is no room for expansion.
Finally, this would have been the ideal bag, had it been been able to expand about an inch in width and depth. Perhaps the 16" version would be more appropriate for a 13" or 14" laptop.
The Targus messenger bag is marketed for the 16 inch laptop but, as it turns out, my laptop, a Toshiba Satellite L505D is a very tight fit. The bag seems more appropriate for 14 inch laptops and for netbooks. The pockets offer a good deal of laptop protecting padding. The flap does not zipper or buckle shut. Instead, it stays shut through the use of two magnets located at the bottom the flap. Magnets seem an odd choice for a bag intended to carry a computer. There are two front side pockets located underneath the flap but only one zipper for both pockets. The rear has one pocket with no fastener of any sort. The bag may only be used with the shoulder strap as there is no briefcase handle on the top.
Given its limitations and quirks, I am not likely to use the bag for my laptop.
