    Very nice and simple backpack. The blue color in the photo is very accurate to what was received. The 2 side pockets are good for small water bottles, but it would be a struggle trying to get any hydroflask or typical reusable water bottle in them. A standard plastic water bottle barely fits but for me that’s not a major issue. The 2 front zippers are plain pockets. The third has little pockets for pens/phones and small stuff. It also has a hole for a cable to go through. The fourth main part of the bag has an area for a laptop, tablet, and space for notebooks and such. The handle on top is nice and sturdy. Its a pretty simple bag but exactly what i was looking for.

    Honest quality bag for an affordable price

    Best Buy is almost allowing you to steal these with the sale price I paid. I don't know if they just wanted to get bags in hands of people to promote the product. Or maybe they got a killer offer of their own and passed the savings on to us the customer. But, these Targus bags are worth the price. I have not found a single flaw or missed stitch or even sticky zipper. These are honest great quality backpacks that are easily a Best Buy on sale or maybe a good buy up to the retail price. They fit a 15' laptop easily have several pockets and compartments for all the stuff most will ever need to carry. Plus you even have nice passthrough grommet for a charger or headphone cord to pop out of the bag through so you don't have to unzip as often. I only slightly see the cost cutting by the thinner interior lining used for the pre-stitched sections for pens and pencils. The rest of the bag is a good sturdy material that should last well for all but the roughest customers or over loaders. While this review is on the gray bag. I also bought the purple and black version (there is also blue). And I recommend buying at least a second if all you do is give it to someone in need of a nice quality bag.

    I'm a working DJ and this backpack has plenty of room for all of the wires I need, my laptop, my iPad and a small monitor. I'm also able to hold two microphones, a battery pack and a bunch of other accessories. This is my second one I got a little tea greedy trying to a large hotspot box and ended up making the zipper come off track. Is very durable and everything I need so I bought another.

    Best backpack for college! Love that I can store my iPad/laptop safely. as well Can fit 2 binders, 3 notebooks, folders, and multiple books in the first pouch. 2nd pouch I store snacks and medical items. The front pouches are pretty spacious. I can store a pencil pouch of decent size in the very front bottom one. The side pouches can hold a Stanley/yeti cup as well. Love the convenience of the pencil holders inside the first pouch. Very durable, easy to clean, and overall love the color!

    Great packback to carry laptop and cords and much more. My son was able to carry his laptop and school supplies when traveling with it. Not just spacious but also sturdy it has held up against a teenager who isn't gentle with his things.

    I personally think that this backpack is great once i wore it was comfortable on my back with thick straps that support you and are adjustable for your desired length. This backpack can hold a lot of things, and you can keep everything organized because of the different sections. This has two drink holders on both sides which is great. In the end I do really like this backpack and would definitely recommend it.

    Great backpack, medium sized for those trying to avoid such a huge laptop bag. Fits my 15 inch laptop easily, very minimalistic and very deep pockets. Scuffs easily though. got it on sale for $12
