Targus Corporate Traveler Checkpoint-Friendly Professional Business Laptop Backpack with Protective Sleeve for 15.6-Inch Laptop, Black (CUCT02B)

This is a well made backpack, with several compartments designed for business travelers that cary many devices. For day to day use it could feel a bit heavy (it's weighs around 1 kg empty) or big, but that depends on how much you usually need to carry.

I use this to take to work when I need to lug a laptop and PPE. The laptop goes in the separate pocket at the front, which is very easy to access as the pocket unzips all the way down the sides. I keep a desk fan, face shield, laptop cord, mouse, laptop rest, air purifier, coffee sachets, go-cup and water bottle in the main area. There's still room for more! The pull-up handle seems very sturdy and the zip pocket at the top of the case (came with a plastic toiletry bag) is very handy for storing things that I take out of my handbag (which I don't take with me into work), including my mobile phone, car key, face mask, tissues, etc. I feel it is very good quality and should last me for quite a long time (both in terms of wear/tear and not needing to get anything bigger).

This review is for the 14" model. I have a new 13" MacBook Pro and needed something for airline travel. I wanted it to be large enough to hold some easily accessible items while in flight, but small enough to fit under the seat in front of me. This thing is perfect, and has some very nice, well though out touches. It has two sections, the large one where the handles are, and the smaller one in front of that. Lets start with the small section. If you look at the image of it, you'll see that on the outside panel there's what looks like a decorative C-shaped seam near the zippers at the top. This is actually the opening of a pocket that's perfect for holding quick-access items like your passport or tickets. The pocket is the full size of the front panel of this section and measures roughly 8" x 13". When you open the zipper on the small section, on the inside surface of that front panel is a car-key hook, and two mesh pockets (uncovered) measuring 4" x 2" and 4" x 10". The opposite side of this compartment is an organizer panel with 3 pen pockets 2 USB thumb drive slots, one SD card slot, and one business card slot. It also has 3 pockets with velcro-secured cover flaps, one measuring 5.5" x 5", and two measuring about 5.5" x 2.25". And then, of course there's the interior area of the small section, between these two panels, which can be used for papers, magazines, etc. This section is about 1.5" thick, but the front panel is flexible so you could stuff some bulkier items in here, depending on how many other things you have in the interior pockets of this section. Lets move on to the main, larger section, with the handles. Somebody was really thinking when they designed these handles! Normally on a case like this, there's two handles with a velcro flap that wraps around them to hold them together. Of course, that flap is a pain in the neck when you need to get things in and out of the case. These handles are bent inwards near the top so that the two handles overlap each other naturally and kind of nest against each other. In addition, they have magnets in them that keep them together like the velcro flap would. But it's extremely quick and easy to open and close without having to deal with velcro, and they're comfortable too. Great design touch! The big section's main feature is that it has a zipper to split the case in half to lay flat for airline screening. The zipper-tabs on this section have a little airplane symbol on them to help you quickly identify it and differentiate it from the other nearby zippers. Nice touch! If you're pre-approved, you may not need this feature, but it can also be used as an additional compartment for some thin items like papers or magazines. Even if you want to use this feature, it has a velcro-flap covered pocket on the front side of the split section, that lets you store thin items. The interior of this split section is about 15" x 10.5" The computer pocket is a good sized area and is WAY overkill for my 13" MacBook Pro. But it's well designed and has velcro-ed in shock absorbing panels on the bottom and the two ends. With those in place, it looks like you could fit a computer that's about 13.5" x 10.5" x 2". If you removed them, you could probably gain an extra inch in each direction. The final pocket in the big section is the front one, right behind the small section. It contains a velcroed, padded pocket for a tablet, that measures about 10.5" x 8.25". I can easily fit my 9" iPad with its protective cover on. The remainder of this compartment has a semi-rigid file folder type divider, with webs at each end so you can't flip this compartment all the way open after unzipping it. It's obviously designed to hold files or other flat items. The bag comes with two accessories packed inside. One is a zippered pouch with mesh on one side. It's about 8.5" x 3.5" and looks like it might hold a power adapter and cables for your laptop. This is a completely separate item so it could be stuffed in any convenient location in the bag. The other accessory is the shoulder strap. The hooks on this look very robust and much more durable than what I'm used to seeing on cheaper bags. The shoulder pad has 2 places where it narrows, allowing the center part to tilt one way or the other to match the slope of your shoulder. This makes it very comfortable since you don't have one side of it digging into your shoulder with all the weight. Overall, a great bag that checks all the boxes for me. Love it!

I'm using it for a MacBook Pro 13" in a case. I've used a small Targus bag for a decade and finally wore it out. They are well designed and well made. This bag is a bit of an upgrade... more pockets, etc. I love the magnetic closing handles -- easy on the hands and quick. I like the TSA friendly open so you don't need to remove computer. There are oodles of little pockets inside the primary divisions so there are places for your office supplies, dongles, cables, etc. This is a great bag.

La maleta tiene un excelente diseño, con todos los compartimentos para almacenar una laptop, una tablet y en general todos los accesorios. Cuando la recibí me pareció un excelente relación costo beneficio. La mochila rápidamente se empezó a deshilar de la parte trasera y se empezo a ver vieja. Lo peor ha sido que antes de cumplir un año la cinta esta rota y no se puede reparar.

This is a good laptop case, it's roomy and versatile but not the most stylish. Also has some good touches especially the document holder compartment.A good all rounder and a competitive price.
