Why not 17,3??
Really stupid design not to be meant for 17,3 laptops. Bought for 17,3 laptop but it doesnt fit in.

Plenty of Room for your laptop and accessories
Wanted a case/backpack that would hold my regular keyboard (18 inch) and everything else and it easily does that. I don't think it will hold lots of books as it isn't very deep but for a laptop and accessories it is great.

The very best!
I've been using this backpack for 5 years now and never had any issues. This was not just my laptop backpack. I used this as my travel backpack as well. I highly recommend this.

Great bag for the money
Bought this bag to travel with a 17" Dell laptop and it is more than expected. We use a wireless mouse and keyboard which easily fits in the bag with plenty of room to spare. I used a briefcase style computer bag for my old laptop and it was always stuffed even without any paper files. I haven't been able to fill this one yet.

Good backpack
Using it for a 15.6" laptop. I have the laptop in a sleeve that easily fits into the laptop slot in this pack. Lots of compartments. Zippers seem well built. Shoulder and waist straps are very solidly built so the bag doesn't put much strain on my shoulder neck or back. Only had it for a week so still catching on to all that's in it. Not sure why Staples would ask me t...

This backpack is awesome
Very comfortable and durable backpack for my 17" laptop. I accidentally ran over it with my truck and my laptop survived other than a cracked screen. I highly recommend it.

Nice Bag
The bag has great storage and lots of it which is really helpful for my life. The variety of space is good also. Whether I need to store laptop notebook water bottle headphones or just tissues there is a place and space for it. The only downside I see at this point is that the material feels a little thin. I have another Targus bag which is very similar that I g...

great buy
We bought this to replace my husbands existing Targus Laptop bag. He says it's so similar to his old one that he knows exactly where things are without thinking about it.

Great protection for laptop AND ample room for book storage.
The Targus TXL-617 is a great protector for really any size laptop. I had ordered a 17" laptop size backpack because I wanted my daughter to have ample room in her backpack for all of her school sundries and her book, as well as her purse. The only problem was that her new HP netbook is barely 12", leaving MORE than ample room, to the point where her netbook was being s...

Great bag while it lasted
I've had this bag for a long time, probably about 10 years or more. It has been my favorite bag mostly because it is so large and I love the material and the way that my laptop, tablet, and other items are so easy to put in and to remove. The way this bag feels against my back and the nice, sturdy shoulder straps have made it great to wear for long walks while traveling...

I love this product
I really love this bag, and would have rated it 5 stars, if one of the zippers hadn't broken after a weeks worth of use. I will be send the bag back, and I am not sure if I would pick this bag again, I haven't decided yet !

Nursing school back saver!
This book lasted four years of nursing school and is still going strong! Week worth the money. No rips or tears so far
