Drifter II is poopoo
I replaced my Drtifter II that I had owned and used daily for nearly 10 years. Everything about the bag was perfect, it was durable, comfortable, had plenty of storage, and never had any problems until the last year of its life.

Big enough to hold a larger sized lap
It is not easy to find a computer backpack large enough to hold a big lap top. This works and has lots of pockets to keep things sorted to retrieve more easily.

Good basics, but failure points from skimping
Over the last nearly 20 years, I've used a Targus pack daily, in commuting to work and also as a carry-on when I fly. They've lasted a bit shy of 10 years each. On the first one, it was the zipper that gave out. The more recent one, purchased in 2015, was the Targus Drifter II, 17". At the time, I read that it could be too big to use as a carry on, and once in a whi...

great backpack
It has 2 small pockets in front and one on top of the backpack for little things like mouse earphones etc. I like the flat pocket for the laptop.

Many pockets
I have used it through one flight thus far. I like all the pockets for keeping things separated. It doesn't have a bottom pocket like I am used too. Hoping it will last longer than my last backpack...

I've had this computer for 1 months. Works great packet arrangement work the best of all the computer backpacks I've had. Lightweight without having unnecessarily overweight zipper pulls on a the past high end computer bags. The only minor complain is that if you put the double zipper for the computer section at the top it will sometimes zip open. To keep this from happ...

Amazing backpack
One of the best backpacks in the market! We purchased 4 for our non-profit organization.
It has a variety of pockets to keep your life organized! More than enough pockets to keep documents where they need to go.
The lifetime warranty is fantastic!! We had to warranty out the backpack a few times due to stitching and zipper failures, and we received a new replacement....

loved it.
The backpack is a solid choice for those seeking durability and organization. Its quality construction ensures it can handle daily wear and tear effortlessly. What really impressed me were the numerous pockets—perfect for keeping everything neatly organized. Admittedly, it leans towards the heavier side, yet surprisingly, it remains comfortable even when fully loaded. O...

Great Professional Backpack for Airport Traveling

It is the only backpack that has the zippered compartment at the back of the backpack under the straps that is perfect for putting your wallet, keys, phone, etc when you are going thru airport security. The backpack has a nice selection of compartments. Well-made and TARGUS has the best warranty and the easiest customer se...
