5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended!, February 29, 2004

By	Dennis M. Quill "Devilsden" (Waterbury, CT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently bought this case to hold my 17" HP7000 notebook and it's almost like it was made for it.

It has a good amount of storage on it -- nice big pouch in front that I have to use for my power adapter. It also has other pockets in the pouch for pens, etc.

The inside has plenty of addition pockets for cd's, business cards and more, and the padding in nice and thick for protecting the computer.

The back has another small pouch for paper, and also an additional zipped compartment with a separator for important papers.

I'm very impressed by the all metal hardware and the large rubber padding on the bottom edges.

This is an excellent case, and the price is a huge bonus. I found it recommended on a forum and am glad that I took their advice, and wanted to pass that along.

The only con that I found is that if you've got a 17" notebook and you want to bring along your power adapter and an additional battery, you will run out of room. Aside from that, go for it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great case for bigger laptops, December 9, 2003

By A Customer

This case fits easily 15.4" widescreen laptops and you still can place battery on the side. A 17" laptop would probably fit too (I never tried), but the battery won't into the main compartment. Most stores like BestBuy or CircuitCity have this case on display so if you want to use this case for 17" laptop, go to the store and check it out. But buy it here, it's $60 in the stores... (currently the price on amazon is $46.54) For smaller laptops (14" or 15") check out CBT300 Targus case.

Main compartment of this notebook case has two parts with adjustable width: a bigger part is used for laptop itself, and smaller one can be used for battery and power unit. A little nice zipped bag for these two is included. In the middle of the main compartment there is a strap that fixes a laptop in place and it feels really secure.

There are two zipped pockets for files and documents - one inside and one outside. There are two more pockets outside, I used them to put there magazines when I travel.

Overall, this case has very solid feel and is really well padded. The rubber Compu-Tread that runs on the outside of the case (bottom and sides when standing) is very good protection.

One thing that might be of concern is that shoulder strap cannot be adjusted to be really short. I experimented and the shortest I got was 3'6" (provided, you want to keep padded part of it in the middle). For people shorter than medium height that could be a problem.

Other than that I am really happy with this case. It looks stylish and slim, goes well with both casual and business attire. And Targus has lifetime warranty on it. I would recommend it 100%!

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal for Dell Inspiron 9300, May 27, 2005

By	Sean O'Connor (Silicon Valley, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I just bought this notebook case for my Dell Inspiron 9300, and I'm very pleased with it. My Amazon order arrived early without a hitch.

The laptop fits snugly into the main compartment with a velcro hold down strap.

My mouse, CD's for data backup and cables fit into the internal pocketed compartments. The charger/power cord fits into a separate bag and gets placed along with the laptop. So enough room for all my accessories.

The case is sturdy, with what seems to be a steel reinforcement bar and lots of padding. It's going to be a bit heavy when fully loaded with laptop and accessories. The case looks very nice; better than in its photographs.
