• Great case for the ACER Aspire One 6-cell

  Posted by: Dennis Simmers April 24,2011

  

  I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One (6 cell version) and ended up spending a surprising amount of time looking for a case for it before tripping across this one. I am happy to report that it is a perfect fit. Moreover, it has a full size external zipper pocket that is roomy enough to hold both the Samsung external optical drive I purchased for the machine and the battery charger without adding any appreciable bulk. The detachable shoulder strap is the option I particularly wanted since I often do not have a free hand when traveling. The only mystery is why Amazon does not list this case among the suggested cases for the ACER machine since it is an excellent choice.

• To Alaska & back via motorcycle - it did great!

  I packed my Asus Eee PC netbook with its sleeve, power accessories, mouse, flash drives, extension cord and some other small items into the Targus Sport Netbook case, put it inside a zip lock bag for water protection on rainy days and stuffed it into the tank bag on my motorcycle. Plenty of room, including a magazine in the outside pocket when not in the zip lock bag. Then I headed for the Arctic Circle from southern New Mexico, bumping along paved and unpaved roads hoping that the computer would be protected. It all worked great. Using the computer every day on the 28 day trip put a lot of stress on the Targus case and exposure to shocks and vibration on the combination bag and computer.
  Now, more than a year later I just bought a new Targus Sport Netbook Case for my new Asus Eee PC, but the old Targus is still in fair shape after three additional trips via airlines and two more long trips via motorcycle (but on better highways this time).
  Final assessment of Targus Sport Netbook case: interior computer compartment lining pulled loose along front edge of one side but does not compromise functionality; one plastic shoulder strap attachment ring broke so I attached a 1" metal key ring and it works fine; one zipper pull tab broke so I attached another 1" metal key ring to the zipper trolly and it works fine; exterior fabric, interior pockets, zippers (except for the one tab mentioned above), and all other seams are in excellent shape.
  Recommended? YES!

• Excellent laptop and carry-all for commuters

  Posted by: Stanley Wong April 23,2011

  

  I have had the Targus rolling notebook backpack for almost 1 year and use it every week to carry my laptop, work papers, lunch, snacks, etc to the office. I commute by train with 10 to 15 minute walks through suburban and city streets on either end. I've taken it through rain and snow and it still looks new and keeps everything dry. It's taken a lot of abuse over this time but the wheels still roll smoothly and it is easy to get over curbs. Other reviewers mentioned inadequate laptop padding but I've found that my laptop is well padded against normal bumps and jostles. It holds quite a lot and is good for day trips. My only somewhat negative comment is that if you are petite, you will not be able to comfortably use it as a backpack when fully loaded. Larger individuals will not have a problem with the weight when using it as a backpack and pulling it is no trouble regardless of your size.

• A compromise between backpack and rolling case.

  When I selected this bag, I thought that I would switch between rolling and backpack functionality regularly. However, this hasn't turned out to be the case. For a backpack, this is a very heavy bag. Also, once you stow the straps for rolling, it takes a few minutes to free them up again.
  
  From the rolling perspective, the stowed straps can sometimes get in the way.
  
  For it's size and weight, it doesn't have that many storage areas. I am a traveling technologist and I carry a lot of small devices and cables, in addition to my laptop. With this case, I've had to dump most of these in the one large compartment.
  
  And very annoyingly, one of the rivets holding one of the wheels on has broken through after only 4 months of regular use.
  
  My advice: if you primarily roll, get a rolling bag. If you primarily carry on your back, get a backpack.

• Love it!

  This is the perfect mini-notebook carrying case. Its extreemly light, has a shoulder strap (unlike the sleeves) and has just enough pockets to get the powersupply and other small items in. In a nutshell, if you wanted to get a simplicity and weight of a sleeve but wanted it to have a strap and one pocket added to it, then this is your product. I have a HP 311 and it fits perfect! Great product!

• Great Bag, but don't expect a shoulder strap

  This case is a great little case for netbooks. It is big enough, with extra pockets to hold all the extras you may be carrying around with the netbook, like a power cord, mouse, and possibly even an external cd drive. Construction seems to be high quality. I would have given this thing perfect reviews EXCEPT....
  It does not come with a shoulder strap, multiple other buyers mentioned this in their reviews as well. I contacted Targus' customer service and was basically told "sorry, tough luck, here is one you can buy for the same price as what the whole case cost you". Even though the description here on amazon, on targus' website, and on the product packaging clearly states and shows it with a padded shoulder strap. Since a strap to allow it to be carried hands free is kind of the whole point of getting this case, that one ommision cost it 4 stars.
  Some other reviewers seemed to have luck getting a replacement strap from Targus but they pretty much ignored me so don't hold your breath.

• Absolutely meets my needs.

  I was looking for a reasonably-priced unit that could double as a carry-on bag for the stuff I really do not want to check as baggage. The Targus TSB700 15.4 Rolling Notebook Backpack looked like it would work. I recently used it on a week-long trip by air. It held all the laptop's gear in its many compartments. All the items I usually put in my standard carry-on more than fit in the separate center compartment. I was able to leave the carry-on bag at home. The stuffed-full bag fit in the overhead compartment and under the seat of a "real" airplane, but not overhead in the small commuter planes. During my 3-hour lay-over at the airport, I could easily drag the bag around. The backpack is comfortable to wear. (I am not young and athletic!!) The wheels roll very easily, and the shift from wheeled bag to backpack is quick and easy -- like when I had to grab the airport bus to change terminals. Access to the laptop is easy, since you have to pull it out every time you go thru security. It was particularly nice to be able to pull out the laptop and its inner padded carrycase (included) when I had to check the bag at the airside at the last minute on a crowded, teeny little commuter plane.
  
  I looked at comparable units that were advertised as weekender computer cases. Most were not backpack-convertible. All were much more expensive. I am really happy with my purchase.
  
  

• Great Netbook case

  Posted by: Simone Federici April 21,2011

  

  Targus TNC101US Sport Netbook Case for up to 10.2-Inch Netbooks (Black/Grey) This is a great case for my ASUS Eee PC 1000HE netbook. It is a perfect size and well padded to provide great protection for the contents. Despite its small size, it also has enough room for the power adapter plus cord, a Logitech V450 Nano Mouse, a LiteOn eSAU208-31 Slim Line External DVD Burner and the power adapter and cord for the latter. With some careful packing, I can also include the Targus slimline power inverter and cables in order to use the netbook in my car or plug it into an airline seat on longhaul flights. Only gripe, my case arrived without the advertised padded shoulder strap and with 4 smaller and inadequate carrying straps. Targus responded well to my complaint and quickly sent me a very nice padded strap to replace the missing one. I purchased this Targus case fom DataVis.com but do not bothering to call Datavis if you encounter any problem, they are just an on-seller and will only refer you to Targus, anyway. I can strongly recommend this case from a functionality perspective but it is still too early to comment on its durability although it seems pretty sturdy and I would expect it to last well. It looks attractive too and the black and silver exterior perfectly complements the Asus Netbook it contains. The case is designed to allow you to actually use the netbook while in the case without needing to remove it, if you wish, which is great while flying. Highy satisfied with this purchase and at the advertised price, it is an unbeatable value.

• Nice case, looks bulky, but nicely put together

  I found this case in Staples. At first I did not like the way it looked, very bulky. Bought it anyway, it was the only netbook case in stock. Fits the new Aspire One with large battery perfectly. There is a lot of padding, straps and room to store additional supplies, etc. I plan to keep the bag now. It is what is.... nice workmanship, nicely put together, I even kind of like the bulk.

• Fits my Lenovo S10 perfectly

  I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Anyone that has a small 10 inch laptop would appreciate the size of this carrying bag. It's not much bigger than my purse. I really do like the size. Highly recomended.
