Targus Laptop Bag, Fits Laptops up to 18", Classic Clamshell Design, Re-enforced Case with Shoulder Strap and Padded Handle - Black/Red (CN418EU)

I use this bag every working day to carry a lunchbox, and EEE PC 901, a Kindle, an apple (the kind you eat), sometimes a soft hat and gloves, and even some A4 print-outs. The bag I had before could not cope, and began to warp along the top edge where the handle attached. For only a couple of pounds more, this is much sturdier, looks and feels like quality, and copes fine with the load.The outside pocket will comfortably take a Kindle Keyboard with a book-style cover, and it has some pouches inside it for small items. These pouches are the only thing which seems cheap about this. There is only one strap in the main compartment, but that should be enough for a bag this size, even if you were using it for a 13" laptop. The way the handles attach at the top distributes the load well across the body of the bag. You can lay a short umbrella along the top of the bag, and pull the handles up on either side to keep it in place while carrying. Nice. The handles themselves are strongly attached, well enough padded, broad and comfortable - for me anyway, although I should say that I do have small hands. The zips seem to be a good quality and gauge.This only third laptop bag I've owned, so I'm no connoisseur, but this is the bag I've been most pleased with. Good value.

Nice bag, has pockets inside as described by previous reviewer. Nice smooth action to the matt black metal zips, doesn't feel cheap at all. Comes with shoulder strap too (but be aware the loops are plastic - I don't carry the bag on my shoulder so that's not an issue for me). If u plan on carrying it around a lot on your shoulder, you might want to get one with metal loops on the shoulder strap.Has space for my Macbook Pro charger and for a other things like usb pen drives and even a thin portable hard drive if you have one. If u use the inside straps to secure the MacBook Pro 13", it's quite secure.For occasional and regular use in the house and for the occasional foray outdoors, I would recommend this. It might also do if u brought it out more often, but personally, I would get a bag with metal loops, but that's just me.EDIT: I've had a chance to look at the stitching and it's been done very well.. it's aligned and doesn't look like it will come apart any time soon.

So far, the bag is working just fine, though it would be nice to have a little bit more padding because it is such a big laptop it wouldn’t hurt to have more foam in the fabric, especially since 17in laptops are quite heavy normally. The strap doesn’t seem like it will last too long but it has been fine so far. The stitching is good enough for what I expected and the separator in the main compartment is a nice feature.

Bag arrived in less than 24 hours after order placed. Remarkable value for the price.Had struggled to find a bag to fit Lenovo X 240 but this fits the bill. With the bag open there is sufficient room for USBs and cables to remain attached so that the computer may be used with the bag in situ. In this respect corner elastic restraints would have been lovely. (not a criticism at the price).Bag is quite compact but with a quite large zipped external compartment for accessories. Smart in black with a touch of red detailing. Appears to be well made from a stitching etc point of view.Contrary to another opinion, there is protective padding in the lining. No it's not memory foam - but neither is the price.I would hesitate to call it 'clamshell' which might offer visions of hard sided enclosures.Shoulder strap 'D' rings are plastic which may or may not stand up to wear and tear, but many bags do not offer a shoulder strap at all.No - the bag is not fur lined luxury and neither is the price. But it is well made, smart, more than adequate and exceptionally good value for the money.Very pleased with the purchase.

This product is outstanding. The quality is good and the advertising of the product is very accurate. It is always confusing to read other reviews particularly when they give a poor rating due to their not reading about the product before purchasing it. For example one star because their laptop would not fit... for heaven sakes do they not read the product details outlining measurements etc?I am on the move a lot being a musician and I like to record on my iPad. I use this product to carry my iPad Pro 12.5” which incidentally is in its own leather case. This fits nicely and with a little room down the sides for a pencil case or something similar. I also keep my itrack solo interface in this bag along with a 10” x 6” case which contains the necessary leads for my iPad Pro and recording equipment. With all of this in I still have some room for paperwork perhaps a book too.There is room in the small front pocket for other items such as a mouse but then I don’t need one. However, it is in this area that my itrack solo interface lives with a portable standard size microphone 7” long and connecting leads too.In all my five star rating is based on the product meeting my requirements with a lovely finish all round. This is for a laptop to around 13” so don’t expect to get a 15” in it.Great product
