    Awesome laptop backpack. Can handle a 17" laptop with no issues. Several different zipper compartments to handle extra note pads, power cords, mice and any other items needed. Highly recommend.

    Decent laptop bag for the price. Not a lot of pockets or compartments. Does what it is supposed to do. Carries your laptop and provides decent protection as long as bag is carried/handled with care.

    I'm giving this product a 4 star based on the thickness of the material used in the newer design. I purchased a Targus laptop backpack 10 years ago and just had to replace it due to it getting wet. Hope this bag lasts as long as the old style but it looks cheaper made.

    This bag is really good for the price ($14). I think I actually got it for a steal! Best buy's black Friday Sale is really good! Everyone thinks I paid $80 for this bag. Thank you. My only regret is that I bought one.

    Good entry level backpack for laptops but would not really count on ruggedness. I use this bag as a gym bag. This is a good minimalist bag. Padding could be better and zippers could be more durable. But for the sale price it's a good deal. Would not pay for full price

    Its a Backpack, I use it for work and bought it on sale. The backpack is not built as strong as others but for work it does the job. I would not suggest carrying a heavy load in the bag as it may not take it. This bag goes on Sale so buy it then and it will be a better deal.

    Hands down my favorite thing I’ve purchased from a Best Buy in awhile. It holds my gaming laptop perfectly and has plenty more room and compartments for other things as well. The low price is a huge plus as well!

    It serves the intended purpose. But the fact that it was only 10 dollars during the holiday season was definitely my reason to try it out, and I am satisfied with my decision.

    I needed a new backpack that is built tough but sleek enough to use as work/personal use. I took a chance with this one and I was impressed. I highly recommend this backpack to anyone who prefers to travel light.

    Got this as a Black Friday special. For the price, it's a nice quality backpack. More than enough room for a laptop bag, could use a little more room for everyday backpack needs.

    Excellent back up bag for the sale price. Zippers seem to stick a bit, but otherwise recommended purchase. I would buy another. Roomy enough for devices. I carry a Jetpack, iPad Pro 11'', Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite, and their accessories.

    This is a black color I ordered. The color choices are black, gray, and olive. If you just want to put laptop only, this is a pretty nice one. Not big at all.
