I have been searching for awhile for a good, slim, comfortable laptop backpack.

My criteria was:

1) Comfortable. A lot of the cheaper ones are very flimsy and dont have good padding in the straps, shoulders, or for your lower back.

2) Portability. I wanted a bag that was slim, but had the ability to store a few books and a notebook. Some of the other bags on amazon and sold at stores are huge. I didnt need 12 compartments and the ability to carry around a library with me. I was using this bag to carry my laptop and a notebook or two back and forth from work and when Im on travel.

3) Ability to hold my keys, cell phone, water bottle, train ticket, PSP, spare change, business cards, small umbrella, and battery chargers easily and have them easily accessible.

4) Build quality. I wanted something that was going to last and wasnt flimsy.

This bag fits the bill and more! I was a little hesitant because there werent as many reviews for this as there were the other targus bags. I checked out the other targus bags at office depot and office max (I think it was the gravity) and it felt flimsy. The bottom of this bag is solid and the stitching is good. The interior of the bag around the laptop is well padded and you can easily fit a 16" screen in here. The back of the bag is incredible. There is padding, and lots of it, for both sounder blades and lower back padding along with nice and thick straps. I can easily take this on travel and walk around airports and be extremely comfortable due to all the padding.

There are 4 compartments. The largest holds your laptop vertically and has a velcro strap on the top to keep the laptop in place. Its also well padded and has enough room in front of the laptop case to keep a notebook. The second compartment I put a notebook, umbrella, cables, and a writing tab in. It also has a very large netted pocket for putting in cables, CDs, headphones, etc. in it. The third compartment on the front is an accessory compartment. It has two places to store pens, a business card/ID holder, a keychain holder, and a netted pocket to hold my highlighter, pencil, and calculator. It also has a zippered netted pocket where I place all my change and it has a keychain holder which I clip my flash drive onto.
The last compartment is a small one on the front. It perfectly fits my train ticket, my car keys, and my cell phone for easy acces. There are also two pockets on the lower left and right side. Ones a netted pocket for a water bottle and the other one is a zippered pocket which can be used for a soda, watter bottle, keys, cell phone, or anything small.

Overall, I would have paid much more than I did for this backpack. Its slim, light, yet well laid out and can store everything I need and then some. Plus, with the padding on the back, this is the most comfortable backpack I have ever owned.

While other laptop backpacks have minimal padding or sufficient padding at best, this backpack has optimal padding that no only ensures your laptop will be protected at all corners but also provides you, the wearer, optimal comfort with its well-padded shoulders and back (upper and lower). There are a variety of compartments that are all very useful not adding unnecessary bulk but providing exactly what is needed: a tall compartment for documents and folders, a shallow pocket for pens or cell phone, and a compartment with smaller mesh pockets for better organization. The whole backpack is very light. It makes for an exceptional laptop carrier...especially if you need a more secure fit (opposed to a messenger bag), say if you bike to school, work or to the coffee house.

I had been wanting to get the Eco smart version of this bag but, lets just say my bank account didn't agree. I was very happy with the padding provided for the laptop, there is enough to protect the corners of my 15.6in Sony Vaio. There is also sufficient room for all my books, and as a college student I have a lot. This is a very sturdy bag zippers are strong and straps are thick and padded. overall this was a great purchase.
