    I bought several of these packs when they came up on sale for a really low price that made me think I was either stealing them or they must be flawed in some way. Well, 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 black bag. I also bought the gray and purple version (there is also blue). They are all identical aside from the color. 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 love my new laptop bag. Not so big and not so small. Inside there is compartment for some documents and separate slots for pens.

    I purchased the Targus Octave II Backpack for my 15.6” laptop, and I couldn't be happier with my choice. This backpack seamlessly combines style and functionality, making it the ideal companion for both professional and casual use. First and foremost, the sleek black design of the Octave II Backpack caught my eye. The minimalistic yet modern look is not only visually appealing but also adds a touch of sophistication to my overall appearance. It's a backpack that doesn't compromise on style, making it suitable for any setting, from the office to a coffee shop. When it comes to functionality, the Octave II Backpack truly excels. The dedicated compartment for a 15.6” laptop provides a snug and secure fit, giving me peace of mind knowing that my device is well-protected during my daily commute. The interior organization pockets are thoughtfully designed, offering convenient storage for accessories, chargers, and other essentials. It's incredibly practical for keeping everything in order and easily accessible. Moreover, the build quality of this backpack is impressive. The durable materials used in its construction make it sturdy and reliable, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of daily use. The padded shoulder straps make it comfortable to wear for extended periods, and the back panel provides excellent support. One standout feature is the water-resistant exterior, which has proven invaluable during unexpected rain showers. I no longer have to worry about my laptop and belongings getting wet, adding an extra layer of protection for my valuable items. In conclusion, the Targus Octave II Backpack is a winning combination of style and functionality. It not only meets but exceeds my expectations for a laptop backpack. Whether you're a professional on the go or a student with a busy schedule, this backpack is a reliable and stylish choice that will undoubtedly enhance your daily routine. Highly recommended!

    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.
