I have this bag. To say that it is too small for the tiny netbook should say it all. The netbook is tiny, this bag is the same size. It will hold your netbook and only your netbook. The outside pocket is not made to hold anything thicker than paper. I can manage to jam the power cord for the netbook into the outside pouch but it then bulges outward unnecessarily and probably puts pressure on the actual netbook. It is a very tight fit. I bought this bag from the manufacturer of my netbook (Dell) and it came with a set of accessories also made by Targus. You would think that if you were bundling netbook accessories with a netbook bag, that there would be room enough in the bag for the accessories. You would think that, but you would be wrong. The USB mouse is about the size of my thumb, it's almost too small to use, and it doesn't fit in the bag. They make a set of speakers which fold up to be slightly larger than a deck of cards, and they don't fit in the bag. What is the point of selling netbook accessories with your netbook bag if the accessories don't fit in the bag? Now I have to carry a second bag to hold my accessories. FAIL.

Although, if you only want to carry the netbook, this bag is perfect. You'll be able to get the power cord in the bag, but it would be an uncomfortable fit.

The case is great, it really protects my netbook, but it's too small, I can hardly put the netbook with its charger and mouse without getting the bag to look just about to explode, and that doesn't looks nice. My netbook has the 6 cell battery, that is a little larger than the regular ones, I don't know if this bag would be more roomy with a regular battery netbook. I used this case only for a while, but now I've got a zipper case and I carry my netbook in my regular handbag or my backpack. I'd recommend only if you don't want to carry your charger in this case.

I had to look for a long time to find something this perfect for my needs. I wanted something good looking, not too masculine, and that would hold both my iPad and my Apple keyboard. Everything designed to hold a keyboard already comes with one, and all the other netbook cases are too big and bulky. So it depends on what your needs are whether this case is too small or not. I maintain that it is not Targus' fault that their product was bundled with a netbook that is too big for it. Go buy a bigger case!

The case is nicely padded all the way up to the big grommets, so the keyboard is quite safe in there. You will need some other sort of protection for the iPad, as there is not a separate sleeve for it, but just having the magnetic cover facing the keyboard works fine. I can fit my iPad, keyboard, and all the contents of my purse all in this slim, attractive bag. I am not a person who carries a lot in my purse, so we're talking wallet, keys, pen, and a few other items, not a lot. Yes, this is a small bag, but that is why it's so great.

Going on a longer trip, you will need a separate purse, because the front sleeve will be needed for the power cords and any other accessories you take with you. But for everyday use, this is wonderful.
