    Perfect everyday laptop backpack

    Bought this Targus Octave II backpack for daily use and it turned out excellent. The padded laptop compartment holds a 15.6" laptop securely and still leaves plenty of room for a charger, notebook, and other accessories. The front pockets and built‑in organizer make it easy to keep cables, wallet, and small items accessible instead of buried at the bottom. The shoulder straps and back panel are padded and breathable, so it stays comfortable even when walking around the city for a while. Side bottle holders are a nice touch and the zippers feel sturdy for the price. Overall, lightweight, functional, and looks clean enough for work, school, or travel

    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!

    The Targus Octave II Backpack for 15.6” Laptops in Black has become my trusted companion for daily commuting and business trips, seamlessly blending functionality with a sleek design. This backpack not only accommodates my laptop but also provides ample storage space and thoughtful features, making it an ideal choice for professionals on the go. The first thing that caught my attention is the backpack's modern and streamlined design. The black exterior exudes a professional and polished look, making it suitable for various environments, from the office to business meetings and beyond. The subtle Targus branding adds a touch of sophistication without being overly flashy. The dedicated laptop compartment is well-padded and designed to fit up to a 15.6” laptop snugly. The added padding provides peace of mind, knowing that my device is well-protected against bumps and scratches during daily commuting. The quick-access pocket allows for convenient retrieval of the laptop without having to open the main compartment, making airport security checks a breeze. Beyond laptop storage, the Octave II backpack offers a plethora of well-organized compartments and pockets. The front zippered pocket, with its multiple smaller pockets and pen loops, keeps my accessories and essentials neatly organized. The spacious main compartment easily accommodates notebooks, documents, and larger items, maintaining a tidy interior even when carrying a full load.

    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.

    its the perfect bag for me. i am 5ft tall, so its not too big or not too small. i used this for work. inside has enough room for laptop and charger, folders and some books. it has additional 3 pockets at the front where you can put your other personal things. the back is padded too. the pocket side for water bottle also fit for the 16oz water bottle and it is not loose even if you keep moving.

    I purchased the backpack as a gift and so far the person is loving it. They said it was just the right size to carry the things they want to carry for work. It seems sturdy made of good materials. After receiving it I felt like I should have purchased one for myself. I purchased this backpack for a great price.

    I know its a laptop bag and its a great use for a laptop but im an Amazon delivery driver and I mostly use it for work lol. I LOVE this bag. So strong and can be used in many many ways. Many pockets and zippers but it is NOT too bulky at all. Its also very comfortable on the shoulders.
