Overview

The Targus CityLite Laptop Briefcase is a bag, not a laptop. The data here is clearly wrong. It's a lightweight shoulder bag, and it's being compared to high-end laptops like the MacBook Pro and gaming rigs. That's not how this works. We're reviewing the product as a bag, based on what it actually is.

Performance

As a bag, its 'performance' is about carrying stuff. It's super light at 0.01kg, which is great for your shoulder. But if you're looking for CPU power or a good screen, you're in the wrong place. This won't run any games or software. It's just for holding your actual laptop.

Value & Pricing

If you need a basic, lightweight laptop sleeve or briefcase, the value is fine. It's a simple accessory. If you think you're buying a laptop for the price of a bag, the value is terrible because you're getting a bag. You have to judge it for what it is.

vs Competition

Compared to the laptops listed, like the MacBook Pro or the MSI Vector, there is no comparison. Those are powerful computers. This is a carrying case. A more apt comparison would be against other sleeves from brands like Tomtoc or AmazonBasics. Against those, it holds its own as a minimal, lightweight option.

Verdict

Buy this if you understand it's a simple laptop bag or sleeve and you want something extremely light. Do not buy this if you expect it to be a computer. It is 100% not a laptop, no matter what the messed-up data sheet says.
