Targus Traditional Notepac Case for 15.4-Inch Laptops, Black (OCN1)

I have had and used this bag for years, maybe decades and am buying another one now just for when this one wears out!! I am also going to whip stich the rim around the pad on the shoulder strap where it is coming unsewed after many years of use. The piping is starting to wear on one corner but I LOVE this bag.The main compartment is only 2.5 inches wide which means either it can hold my laptop or it can hold, as it is now a bunch of files I use regularly, a spiral bound book I use regularly, a book I am reading in residency training, another notebook I use to record clinical pearls, a couple of residency handbooks, a couple of pocket reference books, one of which is definitely too big for even a big white coat pocket, a water bottle, an umbrella (the handle comes out the corner of the bag by the handle in back and it stays neatly in place with the two zippers). The lid part of the main compartment (if you unzip it all the way, which I rarely do, but it occurs to me to try this the next time I go through security and just leave the laptop in the padded bag, I'll bet it actually does follow the security rules...for WAY less than, less than 10%, the price some of the super-expensive luggage companies will sell you a TSA approved bag) still has nice pen holders and card/sticky pad holders and room for transient files, all up top and quite convenient. And that is just the main compartment which is nicely structured and padded without being bulky!!!You can carry this nice, light bag all around the hospital or wherever you might work all day and since it is not bulky and heavy, your shoulders will not mind. It has this wonderful big, soft/flexible velcro closing pocket which is still classy with some structure on the outside where you can easily fit either computer peripherals, or as I am now, a stethoscope, a sandwich for lunch, and all the tools most docs would need in their doctor bag. STILL, on the other side, there is a nice open flap file slot where you can easily slip in and out a regular size note pad, regular size (8.5x11, legal might work, but not as easily) papers and files.It is hard to imagine a better, more useful bag for a resident physician, or anyone who needs to stand and walk alot with their bag of just the right amount of stuff.

Relatively slim design providing compartments for computer and peripherals. Limited storage as well for folder/papers. Functional design, relatively slim. If using a computer case to carry a large number of items, I would suggest a larger design but trade off would be added bulk and weight of case. In summary, functions well for what it is designed to accomplish. Item made well and priced right.

I buy this bag over and over again as it wears out because it does its job very well. I particularly like the Velcro side enclosure, which makes it easy for me to put things in and out, and provides a measure of security in that I would hear the Velcro opening if somebody attempted to remove something. I generally carry my Lenovo laptop, and iPad, and umbrella, pens and pads and a variety of other things. I find space to be more than adequate for typical commuting needs. If you carry reams of paper with you, this bag is not the right one for you. In terms of quality, I find it to be very long-lasting. Commuting with it every day I will usually get at least two – three years out of it.

GREAT PRODUCT!This Targus computer case is so well made it's amazing! It will last a long time. It is lightweight, padded, and will protect your laptop very well. The adjustable strap is perfect for comfort, and it zips up and open quickly. Cannot say enough good things about this product!

Excellent product.. value for money

Protects my 15" MacBook Pro with plenty of room for an iPad, external hard drive, cables, etc.! I've only had it for a few months, but I think it will hold up very well.

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and was worried about taking it to school. I found a protector for it but me, being the clumsy person I am, had to find something to protect it even more. This did it! I've had it for about 7 months and is still in perfect (almost new) condition. Won't be needing to buy a new one soon.Pros:Lots of compartmentsEnough room for some books or foldersLong strap (I like to wear it messenger style)Cons:Velcro front (Only because I hate velcro and opening it in the middle of class)

I may have received a used item.
