Targus Transforms The Way You Listen To Music On-The-Go

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Targus^® Inc., maker of the world’s top-selling laptop computer cases and accessories, today announced the latest addition to its line of backpacks and laptop carrying cases. The new SonicPak speaker backpack provides a creative new way to listen to music while on-the-go. With removable front panel speakers, which are protected from the Earth’s elements by a shock resistant EVA panel and water resistant zippers, consumers can listen to their favorite music anywhere – at the beach, while camping or hanging out in their own backyard.

“We are always looking for innovative ways to make consumers’ mobile lives easier and more enjoyable,” stated Bui Cuong, director of product management-soft goods at Targus. “The SonicPak is a unique alternative to the traditional backpack. You can not only carry your laptop and personal belongings, you can take your music with you anywhere, without having to worry about damaging the contents.”

SonicPak (TSB116US)

The SonicPak comes in stylish silver tones and features a padded compartment for protection of laptop PCs and MacBooks of up to 15.4”. Bring your favorite music along by sliding your iPod, MP3 Player or any other digital device with headset capability into the secure, custom-made back pocket. The front panel is a lightweight amplifier, which includes NXT “exciters”, giving users quality sound at an impressive volume. The backpack also includes side mesh water bottle holders, adjustable, padded shoulder straps, molded carrying handle, oversized zipper pulls for easy gripping, and a fully equipped interior workstation that includes plenty of pockets for your accessories. The SonicPak has a battery compartment with an on/off switch and a power-indicator LED light. The SonicPak measures 13.98” x 7.48” x 18.11” and only weighs 3.95 lbs.

Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, Targus’ new SonicPak speaker backpack will be available in March 2008 for a suggested retail price of $99.99 at Targus.com.
