    So far, the backpack has held up with minimal use and not xarrying more than school work (folder, binder, charger, laptop, etc.). With the sky blue backpack, stains and general usage may show more obviously than with a darker color. Overall, there are enough pockets and compartments that suit my needs.

    I recently purchased the Targus backpack from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be more satisfied. This is actually my second Targus backpack—I bought one five years ago, and it’s still in excellent condition. That level of durability made it an easy choice to stick with this brand. The backpack is designed with practicality and quality in mind. It features multiple compartments, including a well-padded section for my laptop, which keeps it safe during travel. The additional storage sections are perfect for organizing school supplies, books, and travel essentials. Despite being loaded, it feels comfortable to carry due to its ergonomic design and high-quality materials. What I appreciate most is its versatility. Whether I’m heading to class, packing for a weekend trip, or just commuting daily, it fits my needs perfectly. It’s clear Targus puts a lot of thought into creating durable and functional products. I highly recommend this backpack to anyone looking for a reliable, stylish, and long-lasting option for school or travel. Targus has once again exceeded my expectations!

    Pretty good backpack for school, i like all the pockets it has and my favorite feature is that it doesn’t have that extra inner “stitching” that gets stuck on the zipper for most backpacks which then ruins the zipper by getting stuck in it.

    Very solid backpack. Fits two of my laptops, plus a portable monitor, with plenty of space to spare. What I like most is the design - it looks professional, but can work in casual settings as well. 10/10 would purchase again!
