9 Years of Hardcore Wear

I've had this backpack for nine years. It has been through college and grad school with me, traveled to several countries, and all over the US. It has served as my sole luggage for 9 day trips, and a simple personal item on airplanes. It has undergone so much abuse being overstuffed with textbooks and clothes, and through it all, it has been exactly what I needed. Love the various spacious compartments, the water bottle holder, and the laptop sleeve. After all this time, the backpack is ready to be retired, but I am so grateful for all it went through for me.

Different than what I expected.

My previous Targus bag looked amazing! Everything about it said professional and upscale. This bag? I have not used it yet. I tried it on and it does not fit right and seems a bit smaller than my previous nice bags. For now, I would likely not purchase it again and a part of me wish I could return it for something else. It is just supposed to be a functional/practical bag for regular work projects, but it does not look good so far.

Love this bag

I received this bag from my employer several years ago and have used it for everything since: commutes, shopping on a bike, few-day trips, formal work meetings, etc. I personally have not used the flip-back pocket when going through TSA but the bag is otherwise everything I'm looking for. It is a good mix of style and functionality with a nice clean look and plenty of space inside without being too bulky, and is durable to boot.

It has a dedicated compartment for my 17 in laptop. It keeps everything secure and easy to carry and also has plenty of space for chargers and misc items. It makes it easy to travel with all my tech plus I can put some clothes and other items inside.

Its a quality bag that fits everything easily.

Worth the purchase

This backpack is wonderfully made. It's has lots of compartments, very sturdy, and even has a cushioned back for comfort when carrying. I recommend this backpack for computers or whatever you might want to carry.

Great, durable backpack!

This is a great backpack. It replaces one that is identical that finally wore out after nearly ten years of use. I travel on average 100 days a year and when I do this backpack is my mobile office.

Buy from amazon because you'll return.

I was overcharged $11 the second time I tried purchasing because of an unknown issue that they canceled my first order. The backpack was received, and it is not looking as advertised. The back of the backpack looks as if the bag has been used fresh out of the box for at least two years. The sewing does not look and stand straight at all. I went ahead and tried returning, and as they don't provide free returns, I'd be charged $47 if I wanted to return, so I'm stuck with this garbage thanks to Targus's fair return policy.

Not like the old one

I had a Targus bag with similar features that finally gave out. It was the best bag ever and I replaced it with this model. I'm disappointed in the quality of this bag and the organization as well. There are not as many inside panels, the small external zipper compartment is too small to fit a pen in easily, there is no padding or velcro strap in the laptop compartment and the side pockets to hold a water bottle are too small for a disposable bottle and overall the materials are very stiff. Maybe I'll get used to it but my first impression was not a good one.

A Bag for Daily Use

I love my Targus bag. I use it everyday rain or shine (I have a small umbrella inside it for rainy days). There is a great pocket for my oversized laptop which I use daily for my commute. There is a smaller pocket on the front which I use for my wallet and quick access stuff (including pens and tools). The carrying straps are very comfortable and easily adjusted. I use the other large pockets for a variety of items. My lunch is a pretty standard item but I have used them for extra clothing including a pair of shoes once in awhile. I like clipping my car keys to one of the straps on the bag when I am work. My compute is primarily in my car but when I ride my bike, my Targus bag easily makes the 12 mile ride with me. Overall I am a very satisfied owner of my Targus bag. Pretty confident you would be happy if you had one.

Very nice but missing one thing

If I could I would rate this with 4.9 stars. This overall is a very nice backpack for my laptop. It has plenty of storage for all my stuff - mouse, pens, adapters, notepads, etc. It fits great over both or just one shoulder(old school way to carry with good padding and non-slip surface inside the shoulder strap. The padding around the laptop storage is adequate with one exception. I feel it does not have enough padding on the bottom side towards the bottom of the pack for when you set the pack down. This is where most of your day to day impact to the laptop will occur and I think it should have more padding in this area to protect the laptop. This is the only reason I did not give the 5th star but it is really close to excellent otherwise.

Decent quality but design flaw

Over all I like the backpack but the bottom of the bag as zero protection. When you lay it down under a normal pace you can hear your laptop edge hitting the floor. If you use this bag on a daily basis the hits to the laptop will add up and eventually lead to damage. I unfortunately have to buy another bag now

Hightly recommended--very well made!

This backpack is the best I have ever had! I use it to tote my computer and work equipment and it has just the right amount of pockets and storage. Easy to carry and very well made! I highly recommend it. I have used Targus products for many years and they do not disappoint!

would have given it a 5 star rating ...

The sole reason for a 4 score is this bag has "NO" neon colors. Although boring in black its functionality is impeccable. Easy accessed through airport check, multiple compartments easily store all daily items for school/career. It looks good and is durable. Luv this bag, well priced, highly recommend.

Highly durable; Great for travel, school, and gaming equipment

I bought this with my Dell XPS 17 back in September 2011 and I've used it consistently for all four years of college for my heavy books, plus my XPS which has an extra battery (heavier than standard). I've also traveled a lot between Chicago to Portland, OR to Las Vegas to Honolulu numerous times and this backpack has carried my items to the point of back breaking without getting any outer tears. Even the bottom, though scuffed from heavy use, is in otherwise perfect condition. I have also carried the usual gaming peripherals (mouse, keyboard, external hard drive, headphones, etc) when needed (though I have since bought a separate bag for these). All the zippers are still intact, even zipping over my Razer Anansi (~20in wide) in the center pouch impressed me while travelling. Sadly, this did compromise the interior lining between the front and middle pocket and it has torn slightly, but only after 5 years of having this backpack. I am only recently looking for a new backpack because I've had this one for so long and will retire this one for hiking purposes. Living in Oregon with the rain, my items never got wet, though the outer material of the backpack would take a while to dry. Pros; holds a lot, insanely durable, laptop divider is highly convenient, multiple lifestyle uses, seemingly water resistant Cons; n/a. literally none.

This is a great lap top bag with excellent compartments to store all other extras like wallet, smartnphone, chargers etc. Also comfortable to carry on your back wit good padding. I have tried backpacks by other manufacturers but always come back to targus. I work in Kenya and have to go out into thr field and remote.areas a.lot and this bag has just the right amount of space for that. Love it.

Lasted 3 years 4 months under heavy abuse

As the title suggests, I abuse my backpacks. I routinely have in my backpack: a 15 inch laptop (with 9 cell battery and hard drive), charger, mouse, 2.5 inch binder, and lunch (sandwich, apple, granola bar). This fits comfortably. I will often add a pair of men's size 13 gym shoes and a pair of shorts. This is a squeeze. 3 years and 4 months later the main compartment zipper gave out. I just ordered a new one.
