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.

I absolutely love this sky-blue backpack! The color is vibrant and cheerful, and it instantly brightens up my outfit. The straps are well-padded and adjustable, making it incredibly comfortable to wear, even for long periods. The back support is excellent, and the weight feels evenly distributed, so it doesn’t strain my shoulders. Perfect for everyday use, whether for school, work, or travel.

This backpack is very large and has ample storage for a 16 inch laptop and power cord. It is well made and had extra compartments for other accessories and material.

Great backpack thatballows me to separate laptop and books ir papers into separate compartments. Lots of different options for storage and lots of space. One very small setback is the beautiful light blue color makes it prone to light stains.

I love this product as it allows many uses for the pockets and excellent travel. I went out of state and couldn't believe how comfortable and durable the bag is, and for the price it was a steal.

High quality, sturdy and durable. Makes me wonder how I ever lived with a traditional laptop case. Lots of pockets to store cords and whatever else you need for your day.

I bought it for my son to use in school. These Targus bags are strong and comfortable. The previous one had a zipper malfunction after several months of usage (reason for 4 star). Just bought this one so not sure how if performs in the long run as compared to the previous one. This color might seem prone to dirt but turned out well with my previous buy and buying the same color again. With the discount it is a great deal.

The Targus Octave III is hands down one of the best laptop bags I’ve used. It fits my 15.6” laptop perfectly with plenty of padding for protection. The compartments are well-designed tons of space for chargers, notebooks, and even a water bottle. The material feels durable and water-resistant, and the zippers are smooth and sturdy.
It’s lightweight, comfortable to carry, and looks sleek enough for both work and casual use. For the price, the quality and functionality are excellent. Highly recommend if you need a reliable everyday laptop bag!

A very lightweight handy bag for kids to take to school. Enough space for a laptop and books. The color maybe something that you may want to pay attention to. It can get dirty easily.

Targus Octave III Backpack: Perfect for Work on the Go
As a music video director, I’m constantly on the move—from sets to editing sessions and client meetings. The Targus Octave III Backpack has quickly become an essential part of my gear.
The backpack’s main compartment fits my 15.6” laptop perfectly, with extra padding that gives me peace of mind when I’m traveling. It’s spacious enough to carry my laptop, hard drives, headphones, and even some of my smaller filming accessories like cables and adapters.
Comfort is another big win. The adjustable shoulder straps and padded back panel make it easy to carry even when it’s fully loaded. Long days lugging gear around don’t leave me with sore shoulders, which I really appreciate.
I also love the design—it’s sleek and professional without being flashy, which is great for client-facing situations. The extra pockets are well-placed and practical, helping me stay organized with things like my phone, chargers, and notebooks.
One of the standout features is the durable material. It feels tough enough to handle daily wear and tear, and it’s water-resistant, so I don’t have to panic if I get caught in light rain while heading to a shoot.
For anyone who needs a reliable, stylish, and functional laptop backpack, the Targus Octave III is a great choice. It’s versatile enough for creative professionals like me while offering the protection and storage space every commuter needs.

I purchased this product on a Total membership sale. The total went down to 9.99. This bag is a steal at that sale price. I doubt I would spend more than 20 on it however. Seems great for infrequent use but for heavy/rough usage I would say another bag will last longer. Lots of pockets and places to store items safely. If you just need to get your stuff from place to place every now and then it is perfect. That or if you are gentler with your things than me or my family.

Received this bag as a deal in my membership for a fraction of the price. Well worth every penny though. Durable, quality, beautiful color too. Just wish it had an extra pocket.
