Large storage
Its got plenty of space to hold my laptop, my headphones, and then some. I have other Targis products and this one doesn't disapoint either.

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.

November 2004 and still "Good to Go."
I bought this in November 2004 before I went to Iraq and this bag is still "Good to Go." Not sure where this bag was made but its definitely been around the block in the last 15-years. If you have a smaller laptop and no plan to buy a big one, you won't need this much bag, but if you have a larger laptop and want the ability to have everything but the kitchen sink with ...

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.

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 !

Targus Backpack
Purchased to replace another Targus and noticed a few slight differences. The prior backpack included a drawstring to secure items in the front pocket. Without the drawstring the space is not as usable.
The new back pack is more comfortable to carry a heavy load. I have not used the backpack whiles traveling yet but it initially feels better. I like the color pattern ...
