Advantages: Cheap, looks nice and keeps your laptop looking nice

Disadvantages: No protection against major damage

With the rise of people buying ultra-portable and ever more expensive laptops, there are a lot more products on the market to enable people to protect their pride and joy from scratches and other accidental damage.

Targus laptop skins come in a range of sizes from netbook size up to the huge widescreen entertainment laptop size. Just check your screen size and choose appropriately.

They are basically a zippable neoprene case for your laptop. Its not substitute for a proper bag as there is no room to fit anything else in e.g. power supply though you could of course sneak in a few sheets of paper or a slim book. One think to note when picking out the size is to check your laptop dimensions as well as screen size. My laptop is a little too long in one direction but fits the correct screen size as the case is a partly stretchable.

The skin will provide practically no protection if your laptop is dropped or there is any other major accident, what its for and what its good at it is to prevent scratches from objects such as keys in your bag. It also provides a small measure of protection against accidental water spillage.

Summary: Perfect for extra protection inside a rucksack or when storing at home.
