    “ Exceptional Quality”

    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!

    I like that there are a lot of compartments. What i dislike is that i don’t feel like there is enough padding at the bottom of the bag so i have to be very careful setting my bag down with my laptop in it compared to my last bag. I also liked how afforable it is.

    The Targus Octave III Backpack is a generally well-regarded backpack, offering a good balance of features, comfort, and value. Its spacious design and dedicated laptop compartment make it an attractive option for various needs. I use it when I travel and going to work. Also, with the padded shoulder straps and back panel makes this backpack really comfortable. Most of all I am appreciative of the laptop compartment.

    Like all other Targus purchases, this one did not disappoint. The material is sturdy, plenty of room, more than enough room for all my essentials for work, school or travel. Got it at a great price too which was a bonus for me. Would definitely purchase again.

    It is a simple, sleek, and functional backpack. My 14” laptop fits perfectly, and there’s more than enough space for everything I need without feeling bulky. The compartments are well thought out, making it easy to stay organized, and the bag feels durable and comfortable for everyday use. A reliable, high-quality backpack that does exactly what it’s supposed to.

    I'm so glad I bought this bag! It has tons of storage compartments for all my accessories, and the shoulder straps are padded and wide, so it's super comfortable to carry around. The bag is really well made, down to the smallest detail. I highly recommend it. Targus products never disappoint!

    Got this at Best Buy Plus member price, 75% off, and used a $5 reward certificate. Can’t beat that for a light, durable laptop-or-general-use backpack. I’m not sure it’s worth the “regular” price, but I sure am getting my $5 worth.
