Sturdy Construction Except for Main Buckle,
By
This review is from: Targus TSB312 16 Sport Deluxe Notebook Backpack (Personal Computers)
I purchased this backpack for two reasons: 1) To carry my laptop while riding my bicycle 2) to be as inconspicuous as possible for theft prevention. It has satisfied both requirements. In fact, I was in a violent bicycle accident carrying a relatively flimsy Dell Inspiron laptop that came out unscathed. Unfortunately, my wrists didn't fair so well as I flew over my handlebars while braking to avoid a collision with an automobile.The backpack has many pockets, including a padded enclosure for a laptop. Originally, I was using it to carry around an Inspiron with a 15" screen. The size was perfect. Then, I acquired a Sony Vaio with a 16.1" screen, which fit but was very tight. The backpack has some extras including a chest strap and waist strap, which helps minimize sway while running or walking quickly. The fully padded back will be appreciated when carrying heavy loads as it prevents books and other dense objects from digging into your back. The primary material, straps, zippers and pockets are extremely sturdy. Oddly, the main buckle has broken three times. Targus was kind enough to send replacements. The very thin plastic "tines" on the male portion of buckle cracks where the plastic is about 1.5 mm. It appears to be an obvious engineering error. The backpack does look like a sport back, which may prevent theft. However, there is a 1.5 inch Targus logo prominently displayed on the back. Sophisticated thieves will probably pick up on this fact. In summary, it is a great backpack that can be used for taking your laptop to work or your gym clothes to the health club. It would be nice if Targus reengineered the buckle with a more durable material.

One Solid Unit,
By
This review is from: Targus TSB312 16 Sport Deluxe Notebook Backpack (Personal Computers)
If you need protection for your notebook, and room to carry a variety of other items, this might well be your bag. This Targus unit has a dedicated sleeve area for a notebook, and has a rather unique zipper up the middle and flap that buckles, ensuring that everything stays steady.However, please consider: - this is a solid, boulder of a unit. This baby felt heavy when empty. If you load it up, as I do, you'll feel like you're going off to war. - the small, side pouches sit out too far for my taste. I'd like to be able to walk down a plane aisle with this on my back, but each time I've snagged those little sidecars on the seats as I'm walking by. - The pocket inside the foldover flap is a great hold-all, but if you attempt to open the pocket while the flap is inverted you risk dumping pens, coins, etc. everywhere.
