I purchased this product as a backup for my $100 leather laptop case and because I saw it listed as a top seller -- it's now my full-time laptop carrying case and I understand clearly why it is so popular.

Well-designed, sturdy and light ... perfect for the office as well as school. Lots of pockets without being gimmicky, ergonomics were definitely a major consideration in product development. It's so much more comfortable than my pricier laptop case and so much more versatile, too. I can carry books, files, lunch -- just about everything but the kitchen sink without getting a sore shoulder.

My purchase price was <$20 with the rebate but I would easily pay twice that with pleasure should I ever need to replace it. Un-be-liev-a-ble. Great for students or as a gift.

I got tired of "trying to be a cute grad student" and set out to replace my painful messenger bag with a laptop carrying case that possessed the following:

(1) padded protection for a 14" wide screen laptop (Dell XPS m140) and its relatively small charger,

(2) space to accommodate at LEAST a 1.5" binder (and 1" text book, if at all possible)

(3) multiple compartments to store pens, graphing calculator, organizer, cell phone, and other small what-nots

(4) padded dual shoulder comfort/ superior durability

(5) in giving up the messenger back I knew I had to compromise some style but I really wanted something that wasn't terribly bulky, colorful or dramatic in overall design

(6) and most importantly- on a college student budget I refused to pay the $50+ price tag of many popular models...

So, I came across this backpack after a thorough search for something compatible. The Targus Groove Backpack met all of my criteria! Please note, I have not had it long enough to comment on durability but it is made very well (thick, tight stitching, smooth zippering, reinforced bottom, etc). It is a BIG book bag but it makes up for that in the modestly coordinated black nylon with gray logos and its non-bulky exterior. Additionally, the laptop pocket fits my Dell m140 perfectly (13x9x1.5") and it still has breathing room for thickness and height with a small Velcro strap to go over the top exposed portion of the laptop. The pocket padding is very sufficient, but I still keep mine in a thin protective sleeve to keep the case scratch free. I was ecstatic to find that it could house my overstuffed 1.5" binder, charger, cell, calculator, pen/pencil zipping case, organizer, AND a 2" text book with more room to boot!!

This backpack is simply great! I bought the Grove 4 years ago in an Office Depot, not knowing what I was buying really. Let me list the places I've gone and the things I've done with this bag:
1) To school every single day for 2 whole years.
2) I've taken this bag on intense, 3 day hikes through rain, mud, and sand.
3) Carry-on for multiple trips.
4) As a night sack when I'm invited to sleep as a guest.

To be honest, this bag has been through almost everything with me.

Pros:
1) Holds well against water.
I've only had one time when the contents were soaked and that was when I left it in the pouring rain for approximately 2.5-3 hours. Other than that, I've gone through pouring (Florida) rain for up to 5-6 minutes; I'm soaked, but my notebook is safe and dry.
2) Plenty of space for your average job.
The Grove can hold a laptop, 3 textbooks, 2 notebooks (paper), all your laptop needs (charger, mouse, usb drive), a small reading book, an iPod, a water bottle, anything. At that point, it does get bulky, but it'll hold strong.
3) The water bottle holders on the left and right pockets actually hold a 16.9 fl oz water bottle pretty well, even if running to class.
4) VERY durable exterior.
Even with four years of heavy use, the bottom of the bag is only beginning to lose it's tough plastic shell, meaning the inner material is still going strong.
5) Zippers are dependable.
I've never had a problem with the zippers. I have a colorful strap that I use to identify my bag - when zipping in a hurry, I've zipped over it by accident so many times and with enough force got it unstuck - the zipper is still just as smooth and dependable as when I first bought it.
6) Wide opening.

This is my fourth Targus item, I've purchased over the past five years.

Targus is usually pretty good about keeping your laptops safe.

The backpack is nice, but a little small.

Also, the padding for back support is a little thin when you have a hard laptop or sharp edged book in the back compartment.

The handle on the top is a little cheap compared to the more expensive models.

But honestly this model, dollar for dollar value, probably surpasses its more expensive brothers.

From what I've seen from my other Targus backpacks, is that they have a heavy-duty use (aka regular college experience) lifetime of about one year or so. Then after a year, the seams by the zippers of backpack will start to rip & what not. I have not had this happen yet with my model, & I've been using it for about three months so far. But I've had it happen to every other Targus Backpack I've purchased.

This backpack will comfortable hold 3-4 textbooks plus a laptop computer or 4-5 textbooks san a laptop.

There are three major pocket areas that can hold calculators, writing utensils, & other college peripherals.

Over all I really like this backpack for the money.

I've purchased the more the expensive Targus Models, they are very nice, but you have a tendency to loose more items in your backpack then store. (and the only have a shelf live of a year anyway.)

This is a good deal.

************
Update: (Aug 18, 2007 Year One with the backpack)
Wow, it's been a year since I've purchased this backpack, I've taken it camping, across country, across the Ocean and it's as durable & shiny as it was a month or so after purchase. (I'm very rough with my backpacks, this should be in tatters.
