Targus TBT046US Zip-Thru 17-Inch Air Traveler Laptop Case (Black)






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.
