    My previous EDC bag fell apart, and I happened to catch this Targus on sale. It's the greatest bag that ever existed, so temper your expectations for the price range. The bag features a ton of zippers and places to store things. A laptop or tablet can fit in the primary compartment. I haven't had the bad long enough to comment on durability, so sticking with a small device seems logical to put less wear on the bag. This is also fine as a regular backpack for files or books. Plenty of space for pens, chargers, etc. I wouldn't use this for school, because kids tend to be more aggressive with their belongings. I don't see it holding up in this scenario.

    It holds my TUF A16 with ease, along with all my cables and accessories. I am a cell phone repair tech, so I regularly carry all sorts of tools and parts in my bag, it's nice to have compartments to divide everything up to make it easier to find things later.

    Light weight and small enough to be an everyday laptop bag. Like many others, I got this one on sale and it’s well worth the price. The straps feel secure and are lightly padded. The casing isn’t too thick but it’s enough to protect your laptop.

    I really like this backpack for the price. I purchased one for my child's chromebook and for basic school supplies, and he likes it. It is small enough to carry with ease. Yet, big enough inside for basic supplies.

    Bought it in sale for 12 dollars and i gotta say it was a great investment. I use mine for work to carry around my laptop, tablet and some extra items and it all fits great in there. A tom of storage compartments too. The only drawback would be that its not waterproof. Other than that its a great buy

    I purchased this item on sale and without looking at it in store and I am 100% pleased. It was less than $15 so I had low expectations and the quality is fantastic. I saw other reviewers criticize the zippers and they are smaller but work just fine and operate smoothly. It has many pockets and nice padded shoulder straps. The exterior seems to be a robust material as well and I think will stand up to a reasonable amount of abrasion and not rip as easily as some others I’ve seen. I actually use it as a “dad bag” for outings with small ones. It’s not huge but holds some of essentials and the extra pockets is super helpful. When they get bigger they will most likely inherit this since for school to hold their laptop. If you need a medium to medium small sized back pack I could not imagine you would ever find much better than this for the price.

    Great backpack with plenty of room. My daughter wanted something a little more "grown-up" for school this year and this bag has been perfect. Spacious area and well designed with lots of areas for you phone and pens and whatever else you need.

    I got this backpack on sale and I would have paid full price. The padded straps are super comfortable, it is super spacious and is made very well. My laptop is protected and I have plenty of space for all of my other things.

    Very spacious bag, i can put several books or laptops inside without fear of damaging them. I use it to store my old laptops and newer chargers and hang the bag on the wall. Seems pretty durable too.

      Hang it on the wall and using it to store gear is a great use of the Octave and makes it very handy to grab and go when you may need something in the bag when not around the house.

    Its a very nice color backpack with the necessary pockets. I like that it has two water bottle holders that expand. I like to bring coffee and water. The laptop pocket has cushions inside for added protection. Basic but great!
