Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

Nice looking small bag for everyday use. Easy to carry out anywhere with decent amount of space to carry my macbook and ipad together seamlessly, with small pockets you can carry your accessories and other handy stuff.

I love this bag, it is durable, simple, and has a very pretty color, if I could buy this bag again I definitely would, it can fit all of my stuff in it, and it has many compartments, I love this bag and it is one of the best bags I have ever bought it is even better than a bag like North Face. I would definitely get this bag again if I had the chance to.

This backpack was a great buy. Medium size great for a grab and go day with the kids.

I really like this bag, ever since it came in I use it whenever I can, I love the material and the feel of it, it's just the right size for me.

I got this bag on a black Friday sale and here it is April and it is still holding up strong. I carry my MacBook and my iPad in it every single day plus other things. Really good thing for your buck

My backpack for these 5 months goes everywhere with me. Just wish it had more space. Other than that, it is durable and has places to hide things as a girl.

Light weight, great for using to travel with my laptop

Very light and portable and very comfy!! I take this thing everywhere!

Good bag. I like the color. Fits 15.6 inch laptop. Has many compartments.

I've been using Targus laptop bags for years for work and before that, school. This one replaced an older one and it's everything the older one was with the addition of the smaller front pocket which is great. The padded straps, padded laptop compartment, and several front pockets make it great to carry my laptop to work - plus my work phone, pens, iPad, AirPods, and miscellaneous items. I've been using this one for a few weeks and durability so far has been just fine. I don't expect any issues there since I typically use my backpacks for 2-3 years and my previous Targus laptop bags had no issues.
