Good Quality and Style
I purchased this computer backpack 4 years ago for traveling. It has held up very well and all of the compartments make it easy to keep everything organized. I recently purchased another style to carry personal items (jackets, water bottles, etc.) when taking excursions on trips. I expect it will perform as well as the other one and be of similar quality.

Junk backpack or a lemon
Stitching on one side of the handle started falling apart after a week and eventually almost ripped off. Handle is not usable anymore. One of the zippers on one side has never worked or zipped.You try to zip and there will be gaps/holes in zipper This was a lemon bag from the get go. Unfortunately I ordered this bag through my employer and would have been a hassle to re...

Once a Legend, Now Not As Good
I have been using this backpack style for over 10 years. Every new model comes with less and less. Where is the sunglasses pocket? Where is the earphone attachment? Where is the front mini pocket? I had everything placed where it supposed to be to be and now there are fewer pockets to use; the left pocket even doesn’t have a zipper anymore. It’s basically a far le...

Poor quality. Targus has gone downhill
Loved it when I first received it. I liked the look.
Quality is terrible though. The shoulder strap is already ripping and I’ve only had it for about 7 months of light use. Ridiculous.
Also, it does not stand upright. It always falls over!

Poorly Made
I bought this backpack in July 2021 and it's already coming unsewn at one of the straps. I travel every week and wish it was a little bigger to hold all my things. I usually always buy Targus but I am now looking for a different brand.

Targus backpack
I like this backpack for the fact that it will stay upright when you set it down.

Great Laptop Case
My laptop fits perfectly and I love the velcro securing strap. I've bought more expensive bags that were less quality.

Classic bag with a modern twist
This bag looks classic, black, functional, but it felt more modern when I received it in the mail. I love it. targus really stepped up their game with this one.
