Looks cool, but looks aren't everything.......2005-12-05

I own two other Targus cases, a car carrier for my portable DVD player and another backpack-style notebook case.

The backback case is sturdy, well-designed and something that I would highly recommend to anyone, especially given it's affordable low price. The DVD car case, on the other hand, is average at best. It manages to get the job done, but just barely.

While I absolutely love my backback notebook case, it's not something that I feel is appropriate to take on customer calls, even if it is extremely comfortable to carry around and has plenty of room for everything but the proverbial kitchen sink. Unfortunately, backbacks do have a tendency to clash with pinstripe suits and gray hair, darn it.

Which led me to recently purchase the TED001 "Aluminum" notebook case. While it may very well include *some* aluminum in its construction, that material is limited to the trim along the edges and perhaps the protective corners. The walls of the case are actually made of fiberboard, which immediately brings into doubt the feasibility and protective functionality of the combination locks.

This black and gun-metal gray case certainly scores points for looking sleek and stylish, but the reality is that there isn't much room inside for more than a notebook computer (the slimmer the better), a power cord, a pen or two and some business cards. Even attempting to slip a small file inside will make it difficult to close and even -- in my own experience -- force the fiberboard walls to pop out of the edging when the lid is shut. Not good.

I'm glad I was able to expense this case because it's not something that I would want to pay for out of my own pocket. For now I'll be putting it under the desk ... at least until the next customer call.

Targus Aluminum Hard Case.......2005-03-14

When I bought my 15.4" widescreen laptop, my father told me to be sure to get a sturdy case with it, since most people don't realize how fragile notebook PCs really are. So I got what I thought was the best protection possible... this Targus case.

Pros: My notebook pc fits in it just fine, and this thing has 2 combination locks that I really like for security reasons. I give it an easy 5 stars.

Cons: My friends do give me a hard time, though, because it looks like I'm either carrying a bomb when I walk around with this, or like I have $1,000,000 in cash with me.
