4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty solid except for the handle..., October 17, 2007

...satisfied enough to rate this case a 4 out of 5 stars. My only complaint is that the telescoping handle will get stuck periodically and I have to jiggle it from side-to-side to make it collapse fully. Otherwise, the main compartment is generous and can hold enough for an overnight trip. And the computer compartment is well padded (if anything its a little too large for my MacBook Pro).

Previous reviews about this case would fit my big laptop were not assuring to me. The reviews said this model fit their 17 inch laptops. It depends on how the laptop is measured as to what this really means. My laptop has an 18.4 inch diagonal screen (the case is actually 20 inches diagonal). This is how screen sizes for TVs and computers are advertised by manufacturers. However, the left-to-right width of my laptop is 17 3/8 inches. So, I was concerned about buying this case. I had trouble finding anyone on the net commenting about my size of laptop fitting this case. I finally found and went to Toshiba's website and looked at the laptop accessories section. Toshiba listed this case to fit its 18.4 inch laptop. That convinced me that this case would work, so I ordered it.

My laptop fits nicely in this case with no shoving or straining to insert or remove it. There's padding on the bottom and both sides for the laptop. It's not hefty padding, but the case itself provides the first line of defense. I like the top-loading entry. It's easier and faster for me to load/unload the laptop this way rather than to zip the case all the way around, split the case open, insert laptop, close the case, and zip around again. I got used to top-loading on another Targus case that was given to me.

The tipping problem when resting on its wheels, which is mentioned by others, is a bit exaggerated in my opinion. Sure it can tip over, as does the shoulder case I use for another laptop, if it is loaded unbalanced. Take care not to load it with most of the weight on the front side or bump it if you don't have hold of the extension handle. It is designed to lean back on the wheel-side a few degrees to reduce tipping. Some care in loading and handling should help prevent tipping.

Construction is well made. It is large and it may be difficult to carry on in the cabins of puddle jumper airplanes. If so, you might remove the laptop to carry it on board and gate check the case and contents. In larger aircraft, you can fit it in the overhead compartment. The large compartment is useful to carry a change of clothing if you get separated from your luggage or have to stay a night you didn't plan on. You can get away with a shoulder case for a smaller laptop if you travel a lot. I recommend a roller for a big one. An adjustable velcro divider will secure a smaller laptop in the laptop pocket if needed.

I was looking for a laptop carrying case that also had room for my PDA, CDs and more. Every other case I looked at was either too small or too expensive. The Targus case holds everything I need to take with me and still has room for more. Having the retractable handle and wheels makes taking everything so easy. All of this at a price that was very easy on my wallet. I have been recommending it to everyone.
