The only messenger bag where my 13-inch Macbook Air feels so safe and secured, period.
The Targus Dash II Messenger bag is the review unit that we don’t like to return anymore, hehehe! It is really designed for the 13-inch Ultrabooks or a smaller form factor, you can tuck another tablet and a couple of smartphones inside plus the regular accessories like USB cables, chargers and a notepad.
I specially like it that the messenger bag does not lack padding support to laptop compartment which are made of anti-scratch material to safe guard the surface of your Ultrabook.
The main compartment where you tuck your Ultrabook is even secured by a Velcro for additional support. A second large compartment allows you to put other documents you carry on a daily basis to your workplace. There is also a dedicated mini compartment for your iPad mini or at least a 9-incher or or smaller tablet.
To make a quick inventory for the stuff that you can put to this messenger bag, you can carry one 13-inch Ultrabook, another tablet or iPad mini, few folders and notebooks and that’s it. You can’t insist to add more or the bag will really look bulky.
The shoulder strap connects to the bag with a plastic connector, compared to others that uses metal connectors that later becomes rusty.
There is another compartment for small stuff such as pens, smartphones, and other little stuff. Opening the main cover reveals the outer compartment for such stuff. And if you carry cash, checks and important documents such us Passport, you can put it in a secret pocket with zipper in the outer compartment of the bag.
And if you need more, a couple of folders can be stuffed at the back portion of the bag.
In closing, the Dash II messenger bag by Targus will make a perfect companion for your 13-inch Ultrabook, a tablet and couple of phones and documents to carry on a daily basis. The adjustable and removable ergonomic shoulder straps, including easy-to-grab zipper pullers, anti-scratch material, solid buckle closure, and a water-resistant bottom makes it a premium yet affordable bag.
It is now available for an SRP PhP2,999.00, and you can find it at SM department stores: Mall of Asia, Megamall, North EDSA, Makati and Sta. Mesa and The Travel Club.
Nice find!
