    I love this bag! I use it every day to and from work. It has the perfect pocket for my laptop with nice cushioning. The pockets are stellar. I only wish it were a little bigger for other items, but I can still fit a lot inside.

    Useful, but not exceptional

    I bought this for $9 or $10 during BB's Black Friday sales. You can't go wrong at that price, and I figure you can always use an extra pack for something, eventually. It's a basic, well-made backpack -- but if you fantasize about climbing Mt. Everest, or need one that sings you to sleep, I'd keep looking. This model has just the essentials, and seems more geared to the commuter or bike-rider than the hiker. The large inner zippered pocket is lined but only lightly padded, and readily holds a 15.6" laptop and additional books and papers. A fairly large outer pocket (zippered) is similarly lined, and would be good for a tablet or additional materials. Inside, smaller pockets can hold pens, calculators, etc. The zippers seem reliable, but I haven't actually put them through any grueling tests. I'm too nice a guy. Overall, interior padding is thin, so I'd be careful if you tend to be short-tempered and like to throw things. There are two mesh side pockets for water bottles and the like. The straps and back (that would ride against your skin) are padded, but not to an exceptional degree. Again, just the basics here. Of course, if possible, check it out in the store first before deciding, and wait for a sale.

    Nice backpack. Quality material, zipper glides easily and has adequate compartments for things you have to carry. It's not as bulky or well padded like the more expensive backpacks but for run of the mill carry-on it's adequate. For the sale price of $10 it can't be beat.

    Purchased this backpack because wasn’t expensive, but ended up loving it, my Hp Envy laptop fits perfectly and have a lot of space left for all the paperwork I need to carry around, also extension cords and plugs for my proyector and speaker. Just great and at a great price.

    Great laptop back pack, I bought 2. 1 for my personal laptop and another for my work laptop. Fits extras like a network switch easily. Seems very high quality especially since I got it for $10 on Black Friday sale. Will update if it doesn't hold up.

    I was really just looking for a plain backpack and ended up choosing this one. I'm so glad I did! It has more than surpassed my expectations. There is plenty of room and pockets for all my stuff and great protection for my laptop. I highly recommend it!

    Excellent bag for travel. Enough room for your laptop, mouse, cords, plus a few extras. I use it as a carry-on when flying. I'm sure you can get something fancier for 4x the price but this is great for those who just want something to get the job done.

    I got this on sale for $10 and I must say that this is the best laptop backpack that I have ever owned. I can fit my laptop with cords, a few tablets and more in this backpack. If you can catch this at $10, it’s a complete steal for what your getting.

    I bought this backpack on a sale for under $20. It has been great. It is the quality I expected from Targus. It has all of the necessary dividers and padding for keeping your laptop safe for everyday commuting. I would definitely buy this again if needed.

    I wear this backpack when I go to work in a factory and so far it has held help with no issues. This backpack seems to be very durable and easily zips up and unzips. Overall I think it's a great value for anyone looking to buy a backpack.
