Exactly what I needed when I needed it 10 out of 10

This bag has a padded labtop pocket, addition device pocket and the middle section had organized sectioned pockets for phones or small notepads. The smaller pocket still had plenty of storage room and the handles are very cushioned and sturdy! My only complaint that it didn’t come in additional colors, I would buy again if ever my current one fails me.

I’m glad I purchase this bag for my laptop! It’s the perfect size, protects my laptop and has plenty of space for everything I need for school!

Good quality light built, beautiful color kids loves it

I love this backpack — it's very quickly become my go-to bag for every day travel. There's A LOT of room and I really like the fact that each pocket has its own space to actually put stuff in, rather than it already feeling full if I only have one pocket filled. Super stylish color too.

Great quality. Perfect for an on the go college bag.

Very good quality and very good price at Best Buy I recommend them to you

Strap broke within 20 days of purchase. Bestbuy won't accept the return as it is outside the return window and Targus warranty claim requires me to send the bag back to them.

I was so impressed with this backpack that I ended up getting a total of three — one for myself and two for my kids! The Targus Octave III is incredibly well-made, lightweight, and super comfortable to carry. It has plenty of space and compartments that make it perfect for work, school, or travel. My laptop fits perfectly, and the padding gives me confidence that it’s protected. The design is sleek and professional, and the quality is outstanding for the price. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made — highly recommended for anyone looking for a durable, stylish, and reliable backpack!

I bought this backpack for my middle schooler to use for school every day, and so far it has been a great choice. The backpack feels sturdy and well-made, with enough space for everyday school essentials. It is comfortable enough for daily use and has held up well to regular school activities. Couldn't recap the price, its around $10 offer price, I think this backpack is an excellent value and a great pick for students who need a reliable everyday backpack. Very happy with the purchase!

The backpack I bought is really nice. It’s strong, comfortable, and has lots of space. I like how it looks and how easy it is to carry around. It fits everything I need and still feels light. I’m really happy with it and use it every day.

First off — the design. It looks really clean and modern, not too bulky, and it actually goes with pretty much any outfit. Whether you’re heading to school, work, or traveling, it fits right in. Now let’s talk about storage. This thing has a lot of space. The main compartment easily fits a laptop, books, or clothes, and there are multiple smaller pockets that keep everything organized — no more digging around for your charger or keys. Comfort-wise, it’s surprisingly good. The straps are padded, and even when it’s fully loaded, it doesn’t feel like it’s digging into your shoulders. The back support also helps if you’re carrying it for long periods. Durability is another big plus. The material feels strong and water-resistant, so it can handle everyday wear and even a bit of rough use without falling apart. One thing I really like is the extra features — like the hidden pocket for valuables and the easy-access side pockets for a water bottle. If I had to point out a downside, I’d say [insert minor flaw, like limited color options or price], but honestly, it’s not a dealbreaker. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this backpack if you’re looking for something stylish, practical, and built to last.”

This is my 4th Targus Backpack.It is well built, light and spacious. It fits comfortable and you hardly notice it is on your back. I highly recommend this product.
