Review on 🌟 Targus EcoSmart Checkpoint Friendly 15.6 Inch TBB013US: The Ultimate Travel Companion! by Randy Robinson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality, nice bag!

GOOD:*Measurements: 19"x14"x7" @ 2lb3.5oz*I really like the color scheme/pan of this backpack. It's not boring black/white/grey, is it is very thin and professional I have worn this backpack to several meetings with a suit and used it every day to go to the office.* It fits a lot of stuff!+ Network cables and 2 programming books of 1000 pages (stacked on top of each other), a a few notebooks and then some small items in the two front pockets.I think it would be very convenient for a student with similar needs.* The main front pocket folds almost to the end, has two large pockets, an ID card holder, a couple of mesh pockets. Sufficient for small items. There is also a front pocket which is not as deep and it can be difficult to get things in and out with a tightly packed bag.* The laptop compartment is padded front and back and d below also there is little. * The zippered side pocket has a hole for headphone cable. *Great fit for 15.6" laptops (there is a 17" version). There was enough space for a tablet. *The fabric is very thick, seems really durable. The cut looks good. I have no doubt that this backpack will hold up structurally for quite some time. GOOD :* The strap and padding on the back are fine. Fully loaded my backpack weighs probably 20-25 pounds. It wasn't very comfortable to wear for a long period of time. But that's probably not your average design requirement for the average laptop user. However, there are many laptop backpacks with better padding.* Bottle holders - while I like that it's not an ugly mesh, it's also very short and doesn't hold my very large water bottle that well.* It only has 2 dedicated slots for pen holders - could use a few more may before falling apart and organizing. THE BAD: * It didn't fit my Asus G74SX (17.3") - it's bigger than most 17" laptops, but if they made the bay an inch wider and taller, it would still fit. In the event of a vertical fall, never lift the laptop compartment from below. Many laptop backpacks do this. Overall this is a great laptop backpack that looks good and is very functional. I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have a 17 inch laptop as thick as mine.
