Review: Targus Revolution Ultra-Thin Case

August 11, 2013 By Bryan Vartabedian · Reading Time: 2 minutes

imagedirectory.targusWhile I haven’t done much in the way of tech reviews, I started using a new computer bag that I love and I thought I’d share my thoughts.

I recently picked up a Targus Revolution Ultrathin case.  I stumbled on this bag at the airport recently and was drawn to its lean appearance and sturdy design.  I had been using a Johnson & Murphy leather folio bag for my 13 inch MacBook Air for months.  I love the sleek feel of it but I’ve been on the hunt for something that might offer a little more protection.

Here’s what I like about it

Multiple compartments in a small bag.  The front compartment has a zip down work station with designated spaces for all my digital riff raft like power adapters and SD cards.  It’s intelligently organized by someone who uses a bag like I do.  There’s even a dedicated sleeve for my Mini.  In the picture above you can see a grayish square on the front of the bag.  That’s a special compartment for your mobile device – the window is translucent so you can see when your phone lights up.  Very cool.

Revolution sideCompact.  This puppy’s thin and has a low profile.  It’s super compact and fits my 13 inch Air to a T.  It would work great for any ultrabook up to 13 inches.  Exterior dimensions are 14.25” x 12.38” x 2.88”.

Safe-port protection. The main compartment has a sling that cushions my machine from vertical impact.  Clever, but I won’t test that feature right now.

Comfortable shoulder strap.  While I tend not to use shoulder straps, I used the tangle-free Revolution strap during a recent family trip. The quality of the strap, clips and shoulder pad make it something worth using.

This is a minimalist, beautifully constructed bag with a low profile and real attention to detail that represents a great option for those working with an ultra thin laptop.  I highly recommend it.

While it’s suitable for anyone, I can’t help but think how it could a doc’s 21st century ‘black bag.’  Because times, of course, are changing.
