If the bag cost RM300 then the quality shud be on par with targus. Really I think ur complain is valid.

The checker plate cost RM120+

I'm sorry to say that the cheapest Crumpler laptop bag is starting from Rm400.

But I still think the Cherker Plate bag has good quality as long as you don't try to pack / fit everything to the maximum inside the bag.

Buy it at your own risk

I just saw the Crumpler bags at Mid Valley.
Very similar to the Checkerplate bags....big zipper...even place their brand logo at the same location on the bag & also on the zip...nice design...but inside a little different. But Crumpler has a higher pricing of course.

just a quick review for checkerplate blowgun.i have been using it for 3 months now.everyday i travel around with it and i carry a dinosaur aged R52 ibm laptop(inc battery),water bottle,tupperware box,windbreaker.at least 3 - 5kgs.sometimes 3.5hdd for support calls.i walk n take bus.

n so far the bag has been holding up pretty well.no signs of tear, still very new.please note i am an end user.not trying to promote or sell.

No worries, no one will shoot you
It's a good review from a checker plate user =D
Well, as what i stated in my previous post, it's all depands on how you take good care of it.
Mine stil serve me well so far =D

Thanks for the heads up yo.

Thanks for the advise, will look for other brand

try it with 8.6kg++ everyday... hahaha
but that was my everyday crumpler.

I'm glad dat I did not buy the checker-plate backpack yesterday. U can get a deuter for below than RM300 and it's definitely better than checker-plate which cost RM250-RM300. Checker-plate not bad anyway but it's too expensive for local brand..

agree.the beg quality is good.

had my Targus for 5 years... it still looks like 1 year old.

i don't recommend to buy anything from thundermatch actually as i have many bad experience with thunder match in warranty, service, and the price they sell is not really cheap too...

BUT IN NETWORLD COMPTERS SDN. BHD. LA... IN LOW YAT ALSO THEY GIVE ME NICE SERVICES

targus bag, is it lifetime warranty?

Cant remember... Dono where i throw the tags that comes with the sling bag edi. But after 5 years, apart from some furry patches due to constant rubbing at my leg, it still look ok, and waterproofing no leak yet. If i ever need to claim warranty, no need bother, just buy another. After use more than 5 years already untung balik.

i have one checkerplate laptop backpack....i bought the biggest size...quite heavy without laptop....but quite hardy too....throw here and there.....still okie except dirty only la.....

the bag still fine and good.....bought during 08 pc fair....buy one free one....free messenger bag still in my store room....hehehhe

to me, targus is the best brand laptop bag... well to me that is... been using it for 8 month and it got the rain-coat covering the bag!!! wuhuu...

as for the customer service in lowyatt... only a few good people give nice customer service there, usually the shop around the back are really nice and give a lot of honest information ... and 80% of them give you sh!tty customer service based on your looks, their desperation to gain profit is sad really....
