Review on Targus Revolution Travel Backpack for 14-Inch Laptop with Protective Sleeve and Felted Phone Pocket, Black (TEB012US) - Checkpoint-Friendly by Romas Pennington

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice bag but the shoulder strap could be longer.

Overall this is fine for the Dell Precision M4800. Getting in and out of the laptop is easy, and as much as I despise TSA, a TSA-enabled top zip comes in handy for frequent flyers trying to get through security quickly. The smaller compartment is large enough for pens, documents, large smartphones, etc. (haven't tried tablets yet). It's a bit cramped for the power adapters that come with the M4800, but that's pretty common unless you're buying a giant laptop case. My only real complaint is the shoulder strap. I like being able to place the shoulder strap diagonally across my chest and my upper chest is a little larger than most people. With the maximum length of this strap, it still feels tight. Remember this is a well constructed strap: the attachment clips are nice flat clips that won't twist the wrong way and knot the strap itself. It's just a little short.

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • Poorly thought out
