That sounds like a great deal! I have the 1900 model—no complaints, except that the bag doesn't stand on its own.

Just got one for pickup at my local Target, thanks for posting. Was able to pay with gift cards I found in the junk drawer as a bonus, whoop.

Looked at reviews of this bag across various sites -- this model is a cheaply made version, frequent tearing at the seams and zipper issues. Also several mentioned the access space to laptop compartment is annoyingly tight...you're always fighting to get the laptop in and out without it getting snagged on something.

If you need a very light duty, casual use bag that doesn't get used much...but you need the organization, it's probably worth the asking price. If this will be your daily carry, best to look elsewhere.

Just got mine and loaded it up with work stuff and a 15" macbook and it fits great. Zippers seem good quality but I guess I won't find out how well it all holds up for a while.
