    Good padding for keeping your laptop safe. Many pockets to put items in. I even carry a wireless keyboard (full size) and mouse with room to spare. Great backpack.

    I purchased this bag to replace the one stolen from my car a couple of years ago (don't leave your bag in you car for even a minute). This bag is almost identical to the previous bag. It is a light weight bag but provides enough protection if you are not careless. I used it to transport my laptop, camera and basic items for 4 years of daily use and on roughly 30 round trip flights between Sacramento and San Diego over a 2 year window. Nothing was ever damaged. Regular price is not bad but I purchased it for 1/3rd of that on sale so it was a crazy good value.

    Got this bag during Black Friday deal. The price was lower two digits. So nothing to complain for the price. Lets see how it lasts. It can hold Macbook Pro M1 16 inches comfortably, along with few other items.

    This backpack is medium size, it is good for carrying a laptop and a couple of books or a few notebooks in the main compartment. It has a smaller second compartment that has space for some extra items like writing instruments, earbuds, or a notebook. The front pocket is big enough for the computer charger and some extra cables. It has mesh pockets on each side of the backpack. Padding is enough for the back side of the backpack. Unfortunately there is no padding at the bottom of the backpack to protect the laptop.

    Good Value

    The backpack is a good value for the purposes I was looking for. Would have preferred the front pocket be smaller, say 2 smaller pockets instead of one big pocket. It is a good, lightweight, sturdy pack that should give many years of light duty service if being used to carry a laptop and associated mouse, power cords, and other small devices. Would be good if there was a small loop to hook my keys onto inside the pack but easy to get to so I can grab my keys easily.

    Excellent Medium Duty Backpack

    The backpack is pretty lightweight, but it’s still built well. Plenty of room for a 15” laptop, charger, headphones, notebooks, etc. It has two compartments: One large zippered compartment with a laptop sleeve and a front zippered compartment for small items like pens, earbuds, small notepad, etc. If you’re looking for an inexpensive backpack that’s built for a 15” laptop, this is a great choice!

    The bag is pretty decent for such a cheap price I got it at. I would give it a 5-star but there are 2 cons that kinda make me take down a star. I also feel like it won't last over 2 years with good care, but I am looking forward to being proven wrong. I have bought cheap and fancy ($70+) backpacks, this one def feels like it's price.. but again, still super nice if you do not care for the fabric.

    Thie laptop backpack is a great Black Friday find. It holds everything needed for a 15-inch laptop for storage when the laptop is not being used. I liked it so much I bought additional ones this year for two of my other laptops. It has many compartments so items can be kept separately and seems very sturdy.

    Awesome backpack clean sleek sturdy and modest. Unisex and lightweight. This backpack has everything you need and no more than that. It was a bit pricey but worth the value of the product. It is very well made compact and reflects all Targus products. Other like products do not compare w the style or quality of the production of this backpack. Bonus is the comfortable weight bearing straps.

    This is a terrific backpack! i love the olive color and the shape. It is sturdy and the material is very sturdy and easy to wipe clean. The netted pockets on the sides are great to have for putting your water bottle or phone for easy access. Inside their are so many pockets for accessories, books, notebooks and most importantly a great compartment for my gaming laptop from Best Buy. This backpack has it all!
