Quick review of Targus Feren bookbag

ok, i didnt know if i should put this here, or the review section. ok, like the title says, this is a quick review of the bookbag, but ill be making a more detailed review (with pictures) after this weekend.

Color:
ok, i know this might be wierd point to start on, but i think it might be necessary. as of right now, Targus has an orange, and a green. i got the orange version cause i thought it would be more "unique". in all the pictures i saw, the bookbag was really really bright. i was kinda worried, but it didnt affect me too much. after a couple days of waiting, i got the bag. opened it up, and found a little surprise. the bag isnt nearly as bright as it seems. instead of bright orange, its more of a burnt orange. i like it

First impressions:
i personally thought it was a little small. i figured i would be able to put the laptop, accessories, and possible a book or two in there.

Features:
Lots of pockets. i mean, there are at least 2 pockets inside of pockets. haha.

Compartments:
3 main compartments to the bag. biggest is where the laptop goes. there is room for other things in there, but i would feel safer if it was just the laptop in that part. the second part is like your "accessory storage". there is a specific cd player pocket, sunglasses pocket, and what looks to be a few pen pockets. the third is like a mini lunch box. there is a small thermal compartment, that can hold either hot or cold things. there are also water bottle holders in the side


*sorry if this isnt too specific, seeing as how ive had it only a few minutes, so this is mainly a first impression review. if u have any questions, or have ideas on what i should include in my full review, please, post away. hope this at least helps you on deciding if you want this bag or not

 

How small is it? I've been looking at this bag, and I am going to be using it for school as well as just lugging around my laptop. I'll need to be able to fit at least 2 big textbooks in there with my laptop, but I also won't nee much space for accessories when carrying around books.

 

how big? im pretty sure u could fit one big book in, if u put it with your laptop, but im trying to stay away from that (there is protection around the laptop, it just a personal preference). and im sure u could fit 2 in if you put one per compartment. i dont really know...i havent put any books in there yet

 

ok, so ive had a lil time to test the bag, so i thought i would give an update. ok, so i pretty much filled my bag up with: laptop, power cord, 5 dvds, a couple of magazines, digitial camera, and a pen (i think that was all). but space was kinda tight. so from what ive seen, it is possible to put books in here, but not many. then again, i was bringing alot of stuff i wouldnt be carrying on a normal basis

 

hmmm, seems a little bit too small for my needs. Thanks for the review!

 

yea, its a little small, but i guess its good if you just plan to carry your notebook

 

please post pictures! I'm looking for a 15.4'' laptop backpack that will enable me to carry a few college books and binders.
