    Good and durable so far. Using it for my day-to-day routine. The stitching and zippers feel strong, and the material looks like it will last. It’s comfortable to carry, with enough space to fit my essentials without being too bulky. The design is simple yet functional, making it suitable for both work and casual use. Overall, a reliable choice that seems worth the price

    This Targus backpack exceeded my expectations. The color looks very nice and professional, and the material feels strong and durable. My laptop fits perfectly, and there is enough space for accessories, charger, and daily items. The straps are comfortable even when carrying it for a long time. It’s a great combination of style and protection. Packaging was clean and secure, and it arrived in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend this backpack for work, travel, or school.

    A very good bag for a student up to high school and a computer who carries moderate loads... The materials are good for the money and the inside space is decent for the size of bag. Has 2 water pockets and spaces for small digital devices or items. Has 3-4 space compartments... Comes in at least 3-4 colors... Targus makes good bags for the money for computer or school needs...

    Great price, quick delivery. Item is well padded. Came with nice extras, 3 months of Apple TV, for example. Only caveat is that it stains easily, as I traveled with it from Sacramento to Costa Rica and already have some small stains on it. But, looks good and durable. Overall, feel like I got my money's worth. That is always the best thing.

    A great backpack for laptop, but lacks padding!

    The Targus- Octave III is very well built. I'm impressed with the quality of the heavy-duty, canvas-like material, nice seams, and stitching throughout. The zippers are nylon, which is my personal preference; their quieter, smoother, and will be just fine as long as you don't severely damage them. I got the color shown here to my right, the color is Papyrus, the interior liner is light blue, looks great. The one thing I do not like is that at the bottom of the backpack, there isn't any foam padding or whatever. This is a serious oversight, due to the fact that this is designed to carry your laptop inside. Therefore, I took off 1-1/2 stars because of this issue. Other than that, it's a very good-looking, minimalistic unit. I'm going to add a piece of 1" foam from a hobby store, cut it to size, and place it in there, at the bottom. Yes, I would recommend this Targus- Octave III laptop backpack for student, or anyone else.

    Roomy. The straps are well padded. Its small. Perfect for a basic black backpack look. The bag looks cheaper but feels of wuality tbh. The zippers are all made well and the laptop area is well padded and feels safe. Good bag!

    I got this backpack for a bargain price during a sale. It’s good quality. Sturdy and roomy enough to hold my 14-in. laptop (in a slim carry-case of its own) plus a portable wireless keyboard. There’s a padded divider in the main compartment, which is nice. Plus a roomy front pocket. Very satisfied with this purchase!

    Targus Octave III backpack is large & light for hiking / walking with large pockets for water bottles. Also perfect to protect large laptops in style with very good & wide curve shoulder straps. This backpack can store extra accessories with different compartments. There is a reflective tab, which makes me safe walking from bus stops.

    It’s a simple multi compartment bookbag! I can fit. A lot of items in this bag despite it being small. What I find interesting is that I have over stuffed this bag, because I use it as my work book bag, because I have to go to the office twice a week, and it isn’t ripping, it isn’t staining bad. It is just an awesome bag!
