4.0 out of 5 starsGreat bag for basic use
By randmel on August 16, 2011
This bag suits my needs perfectly. The very back zipper compartment has adequate padding for my work laptop -- an IBM ThinkPad with 15" display (the actual computer measures 16" diagonally) and there's room to spare, so it could easily fit a laptop that is 1" bigger and certainly one that is thicker.

I wouldn't recommend it to play double-duty as a bookbag because it doesn't feel like it could hold a ton of extra weight; the material might be on the thin-side for that. And if you plan to check it as luggage on an airline, have a tendency to drop bags, or are a bike rider that risks taking a fall, then you will want something with more padding. But I would say the average person who is simply walking it from one place to another will find the padding in this one just enough. If you find this on sale, it's certainly worth giving it a try!

I was particularly pleased with how much room for accessories there are. I have two power cords w/ A/C adaptor, a wired mouse and my wireless mouse in it and there's a lot more room for other stuff if needed. The very front zipper pocket has room for pens, business cards, etc, and is the perfect size for holding your e-reader. There are other smaller zipper compartments as well as a water bottle side compartments -- all of which would make this a great carry-on bag.

It is compact and lightweight; easy to carry by the handle or wear on the back.

Now, I'm not sure this bag is worth $30 retail since it is basically a backpack with a some padding in the back compartment, hence my 4-star review instead of 5-star, but it was the least expensive bag I could find in a store and I got it for $10 on sale. Anything more expensive was overkill for what I needed. It's certainly worth getting as a gift or shopping around to find a great sale price.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot bad.
By B. Yang on December 18, 2013

First, I'd just like to say that I'm a college student and I literally just got this and it's Christmas break right now so i haven't gotten to use it yet. I will comeback and update this after I've used it for a few weeks with my daily college load. I wanted a backpack that wasn't too big or too small, one that had a water bottle mesh area and a laptop area while still being able to hold my daily load of books and other stuff. This one seemed to fit the bill. Here are my first impressions.

Pros:
- It looks small but is actually deceptively roomy on the inside.
- It has a water bottle mesh holder thing.
- The laptop holder area can hold my 15.6' laptop perfectly and can probably hold a bigger one too. (More on this later).
- It has a lot of pockets for several different things.
- It's a backpack and it works.

Cons:
- The biggest one is this - the straps are pretty skinny and small. They're about 2" wide and pretty thin. This might lead to problems later.
- This might be just because it's flat right now but it looks kinda kiddish but I'll comeback and update this too if it changes when i actually have my full load in there.
- The laptop holding area fits my 15.6" laptop perfectly but the strap to hold the laptop in place has to be stretched a little bit to actually be able to stick together with the Velcro. This means that bigger laptops might not even be able to use the strap at all but this is pretty meaningless if you don't plan on using the strap anyways.
- The laptop padded area isn't that padded. The pads feel kinda thin especially on the outside part (the part directly touching your back when you have it on) so be careful how you put this backpack down.

Overall my first impressions of it are pretty good.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsOffers little protection/comfort
By D.W.R on September 10, 2011
Verified Purchase
I purchased this product as a quick fix for my laptop backpack needs. Well, I guess I got what I paid for. I own a Toshiba 16 inch laptop with and extended battery. When placed in the laptop compartment, the fit is snug but when I attempted to secure the laptop with the strap provided, it barely fit. The second thing I noticed are the straps; they are basic backpack straps and over time, will break from the weight of the laptop and other items stored in the backpack. The backpack offers no bottom padding so be careful how you set it down on the floor or ground. The last negative item is the back padding. The back padding is a little thicker than a cord board box. If you have to walk some distance with the backpack fully loaded it is not a comfortable thing. On a more positive note, it does offer plenty of storage area.

5.0 out of 5 starsHolds a lot
By Steam on August 2, 2012

This bag can carry a lot of stuff. It's comfortable and reliable. It has room compartments. The front pocket is big enough to hold a tablet, book, or more gear. There's also a smaller zippered pocket on top of that for pens and really small things.

5.0 out of 5 starsDelighted in product.
By Saul on October 21, 2011

Although, the product's 'blue' trim isn't as shown in the picture; it has a dark/navy blue trim. Either way, I'm still very happy with the product as it's able to carry out all it's functions and abilities as advertised. Very comfortable, fits my 15.5 inch laptop all snug and safe, numerous amounts of storage space for other materials; even a storage space for a liquid bottle of the sort.

1.0 out of 5 starsDisappointment
By Guru Prasad on April 4, 2013
Verified Purchase
This backpack was really disappointing. It barely fits my 15inch laptop and the cable to strap it is so tight that I believe this ended up tearing another portion of the backpack. There is hardly any space as well.

Compared to my other Targus backpack, " Targus 17-Inch Sport Backpack for Laptops - Navy Blue", this was terrible.

This isn't really a "laptop backpack" in the traditional sense, there's barely any padding, which is actually what I like about it. It's very lightweight and slim. Read more
