5.0 out of 5 stars A light, slim, and well made case, November 1, 2004

This review is from: Targus TTL300 15 TL Standard Notebook Case (Personal Computers)

I just got this case a week ago for a new 14.1" laptop, and so far I've been very pleased. I had four main requirements: good protection, top-loading, light weight, and slim. So far, this case has met all of these requirements.

My previous case was for a larger laptop and had a built-in portfolio. I found that I rarely used the portfolio, and that it just added extra size and weight. This case, combined with a light laptop, is no longer a chore to carry around. The slim size also makes it easier to handle.

This model is equipped with the air padding. These are removable foam-filled air pockets that fit along the bottom and sides of the case. They have tiny vents in them to allow the air to escape slowly to absorb any shock, and the foam will push them back out to their normal shape. The system seems like it will work, but I haven't had any occasion to test it.

The construction seems to be of good quality. All the seams seem to be well sewn, with no loose threads. The bottom has three plastic feet to help balance it when its standing. All the fittings seem solid and secure.

This case doesn't have a ton of extra room. It is designed to be a small case for carrying the computer and a few accessories. This meets my needs very well, but if you need to carry more than the bare essentials, I would recommend a larger case.

4.0 out of 5 stars they're not kidding when they said "ultra-lite", September 28, 2005

This review is from: Targus TUL300 15 Ultra-Lite Standard Notebook Case (Personal Computers)

i've had this case now for almost a month now, and i must say i really do love it. its best feature is the fact that the strap has a swivel feature to it at the point where it connects to the bag, which allows the strap not to get twirled and twisted. if only it had a separate built in compartment for the power adapter, i would've given it 5 stars.. because right now the charger just loosely sits inside giving it a "bulky, jutting out" feeling. you get used to it after a while though. i haven't started carrying my cd case in this yet, so i'm sure it'll feel bulkier once that's in there.. but then compromises are to be made if you want this bag to be "ultra-lite" and also capable of holding bigger 'n better things.

overall though, a definite recommendation from my end if you're not planning to carry too many additional accessories.

I bought this case primarily on the recommendation of other satisfied buyers.The phrase Ultra-Lite is not accurate especially as it may imply less sturdiness.This case should do a very good job protecting your notebook for most day-to-day situations.
