Lightweight but very strong, it has enough pockets to carry a laptop and charger, a water bottle, and all other necessary items for an office-goer or on a day trip. I have been using this for the past month and have carried it to so many cities. I found it useful and sufficient for my needs. The best part is the price. Its's so affordable.

My new ASUS Strix G16 16 inch laptop is thick and has a large 280 Watt power brick. This backpack can easily handle both, and has plenty of space to spare! My laptop fits comfortably in the main storage area. There is even space to insert a little extra padding on the bottom and sides when making longer trips. There are three nested pockets on the front. My large 280 Watt power brick fit easily in the smallest pocket. I put its power cord in the second largest pocket, with plenty of room for my gaming mouse and my gaming pad. The largest pocket I use for papers, and a little extra padding. I was able to snatch this up on Cyber Monday for just $10 ! The backpack is well made, with a good and solid handle. I recommend this backpack.

This is a very light and comfortable backpack with lots of room and compartments! It does not have the cords pass through since that was the description for, I believe, Octave II, but who cares. I guess they just forgot to correct the description. I got a couple of these in different colors for myself and also bought more as gifts as it is a quality easy carry backpack. It is very good for everyday and for travel since it is so light and roomy. It is also very easy to be organized with this backpack. You can take your laptop in it too. I love traveling with it since it's so light and comfortable. It has a lining on the inside and is well made too. I am trusting this brand especially since they even have a lifetime warranty on it. :) [I don't care about the sweepstakes although looks like I'm getting a free entry in it for writing this review. I just wanted to write this review. Didn't know it enters me anywhere. ha ha]

​The Targus Octave III Backpack is exactly what I needed. It fits my 15.6" laptop perfectly in the padded compartment, and there is still plenty of room for books, cables, and accessories without feeling bulky. The black color is sleek and professional, making it suitable for both work and travel. The material feels durable, and the straps are comfortable even when the bag is fully loaded. Highly recommend this for anyone needing a reliable, well-designed laptop backpack!

Excellent Backpack considering the discounted price point. Very light weight and ample pockets for storage of accessories and other items. Comfy straps Would recommend!
