This bag survived my sons heavy use in high school for a good year and did not fall apart. Others haven't done so well. Very sturdy backpack. Good material. Would definitely buy again.

This backpack is everything I've ever wanted in a backpack. It has an amazing amount of space, a limitless, or so it seems, amount of pockets for storage, and it is extremely durable. This was definitely worth the money and I'm so glad I decided to purchase it.

This is a sturdy backpack. It is a little weighty, but it is what we needed. It has plenty of padding for a laptop or tablet. There are plenty of compartments for school or business needs. It is made of thick material and has nice padding on the straps. It holds a lot of materials/supplies.

I will admit, the price i got on sale made it a steal. But it really is a great size and not heavy. Tons of pockets and hiding places. I use it for work, it functions as a traveling office for me. It is easier on my back than a portfolio bag.

This was an extremely good buy. I had no idea this backpack was so huge and study. I can actually place a smaller backpack inside of it lol. It has lots of room and the material is solid. Purchased on clearance at an awesome price.

I bought an earlier version of this backpack in 2001 and used it every day to go to work until December 2014. The shoulder strap eventually wore uncomfortably thin, so I thought I would grow up and get a shoulder satchel. Hated it! I could not hold much and it was uncomfortable to carry. So I rushed out and bought this same backpack again and am yet again filled with comfort and storage room, filled with the knowledge that this pack will last another 13 years!

This backpack is awesome. Lots of pockets, well-made. I have no complaints. I use this to travel back and forth from work, and it's been great. The inside is big enough for my computer stuff, and the large amount of pockets really help organize my stuff.

I needed a new bag because I started to carry hard drives with me and I did not want them to get damaged. Man this bag has more space and padding than I could have ever hoped for. Great bag!!!!!

I admit when I first purchased this bag without physically lasting my eyes on it I was worried, but lemme tell ya, after I got this thing the worries I had were shattered! This thing fits my 16 inch Dell in a padded back area, my 3 ring binder for school fully loaded, and my books with room to spare! It has padding also which make it great on your shoulders and back. The bottom has a padded, waterproof section, and the bag is water resistant! Targus thought of everything with this one! You will not be disappointed! Trust me.

Really sturdy and well made. Very roomy, but not quite as large as some of the LL Bean school bags. Works well for my high schooler. Quite a bit cheaper than LL Bean or Swiss Gear when on sale.

Pros: The backpack holds a lot. Plenty of pockets. The side pockets on both sides as well as mesh pockets are a plus. The top pocket for quick access, the padding is great. Fabric used are sturdy.
Cons: Too many pockets - if you put bulky stuff in all pockets, the other pockets no longer serve a purpose. No luggage strap/sleeve to put on top luggage. Having said that, the biggest issue that I had was the weak zippers. I had the backpack open more than a dozen times, especially the laptop zipper on my 1st trip with this backpack and contents fell out. Other zippers also seem easy to open as well if the weight of the backpack was towards the back.
Overall, solid bag and given the price, it is worth the look for daily use. Maybe not as solid for traveling.

This is very spacious only thing would make it better is to have the front smaller pockets not so deep other than that real durable and solid.
