    I purchased this back for the price and because I wanted a smaller bag to carry my laptop. Didnt expect it to be this small. However, its the right size for my 15" laptop and appears to be sturdy enough to handle the surrounding elements. Dont expect to carry a lot of things. Just enough to to get you by like a charger, some snacks and a small water bottle. I like it!

    I have worked in the PC industry since Windows 3.1 and Targus has been an exceptional brand that I and company have always purchased. For the price and quality, there is none better, in my opinion.

    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!

    This backpack doesn't have much padding, so you should be careful with your laptop inside of it, but I really like the dual mesh waterbottle / speaker pockets on either side, and its number of compartments is satisfactory.

    Great backpack for the price. Very versatile and lightweight. Plenty of space with lots of pockets. Mesh bottle holders on each side of the backpack makes it nice to carry extra bottles of water.

    9.99 for a backpack

    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.
