    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.

    This bag exceeded my expectations! It is roomy and appears to be well-made (though time will tell!). I bought it for my husband and he was very happy to receive it. Would buy it again in a second.

    I purchased this on sale at a significant discount making it an excellent value. The quality is good and a perfect fit for laptops 15.6 in and smaller. There could be better padding but that's a small complaint.

    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!

    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.

    Love this bag! It's sturdy and has lots of pockets, but it's not bulky at all. Nice, clean and simple appearance with tons of functionality. My high school junior and I each have one - theyre perfect for students and digital nomads alike.

    The space is amazing and so is the durability of the product. More than enough pockets to use for laptop and can still carry a wallet if you are a minimalist.

    As an educator who frequently carries a laptop and various teaching materials, I found the Targus Octave III Backpack for 15.6” Laptops to be a practical and stylish choice. The dedicated padded laptop pocket provides excellent protection for my device, while the built-in workstation helps keep pens, notepads, and other essentials organized. Two front pockets offer convenient access to items like my phone and wallet, and the side water bottle pockets are a thoughtful addition for staying hydrated throughout the day. The padded shoulder straps and back panel ensure comfort during my daily commute between classrooms. Overall, this backpack combines functionality with a sleek design, making it a reliable companion for any teacher on the go.
