 "Good small bag" 2009-10-07
By M. Mack
Perfect if you are only carrying a laptop, not enough room to carry much more than some papers.


 "Targus CVR217 Laptop bag" 2009-09-30
By Anwar (Saratoga, CA, USA)
My son wanted his 17 inch laptop carrying case before he moved to UC Davis for his junior quarter. He previously bought his 15 inch laptop case from Amazon. I trusted his judgement in reviewing the Targus CVR217 laptop bag before making decision to purchase.

The bag was nice and both he and I liked it. It is light and fits very well on his HP laptop. No bells and whistles and that is what I liked. Price was very attractive.

I recommend this bag to those who want a well made, inexpensive and a good bag for their 17 inch laptop.


 "Great case; very tight fit for 15" laptops" 2009-09-20
By B. Darvin (Los Angeles, CA United States)
I love this case overall; it is of excellent quality and the price of around twenty-five bucks is a steal. If you have a laptop with a 15" screen, it is a very tight fit. I have a Dell Latitude D830; the total width of this laptop when closed is exactly 14 3/16" - it just barely fits in the padded compartment inside this Targus case, but it does fit - the tiny bit of extra effort needed to get it in this tight-fittin pocket is the only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 starts.

If you ride a motorcycle and need a good laptop bag you can sling over your back whie riding, this is the one!


 "For the money you pay, this is an excellent bargain" 2009-09-14
By Andriy Zhugayevych (Houston, TX USA)
Pros.
1. For the money you pay, this is an excellent bargain.
2. Perfect fabrication quality.
3. Sectioning, straps, padding, pockets placement are well designed.
4. Is lightweight and spacious.
5. This backpack fits inside a mid-size backpack.

Nice pockets:
1. Two letter-size pockets (without rigid support) for documents inside the main section.
2. Mesh pocket inside the middle section.
3. Mesh sidepocket for a bottle.

Imperfect pockets:
1. The size of the laptop sleeve (15"x1.75"x10.5") and the length of the strap are too big for a 15-inch laptop, so that the laptop is not fixed firmly. The only solution is to cut down the strap and put some 15-inch cushion into the pocket.
2. Closable sidepocket ("mobile phone sleeve") is nice for power cord but is too small for power adapter (the best place for these items).
3. "MP3 player sleeve" is too wide and too shallow for a mouse (the best place for a mouse).

What is absent:
1. No "card" pocket inside the small section.
2. No CD pocket, though you can use letter-size pockets.


 "Excellent backpack for the price!" 2009-09-12
By Alberto G. Perez (Exton, PA USA)
Targus has always been renowned for the excellent (and pricey) laptop bags they make. Once I had a laptop or was given one by the company in which I was working, the first thought was always "I had to get a Targus bag". The problem for me has always been that Targus bags are expensive (justifiably probably), so when I realized that at my new job I had to carry my laptop around, I started to look at backpacks, that in my job as a teacher in more than one college, are much more practical than shoulder bags, at least for me. When I started to look at backpacks, the ones that could meet my needs where pretty expensive until I found the Targus. I was surprised by the price, so I decided to give it a shot. It is a really nice backpack; big and comfortable. It has nice shoulder straps and plenty of room. The internal pocket for the computer accepts a 15.4" like mine with no problems and is well cushioned. So far, it has performed well with no signs of rips or stretched stitches. I miss maybe one more external pocket and the one on the side larger and longer than it actually is. Very good price for the features and overall quality. Way to go Targus! Make more models in the same price range.
