Summary: One helluva bag
Review: I absolutely love this bag..I use it for my Wide Screen 15.4" Dell Inspiron 8600, which absolutely doesnt fit in any other backpack in the market. This one's a real stud. Though a bit heavy, its one solid unit, and protects the laptop well, with tons of room for your other stuff. I intend to use it mainly for Air travel, and bought it after a lot of research in Circuit city and other stores.

Summary: This thing does it all.
Review: I needed a good way to carry my laptop onto planes and around the E3 show in Los Angeles, CA. So I purchased this backpack. It is everything I had hoped for in a laptop backpack. This thing holds my 15 inch Sager 5690 perfectly and the protection is top notch. The bag has room for pretty much any and all business related items you would think to bring. It has great construction, roomy compartments, and the overall TARGUS quality you'd expect! I recommend this to anyone except people who have laptops with bigger screens. I hear some 17's fit in here, I just don't know which ones.

Summary: Sturdy Construction Except for Main Buckle
Review: 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.

Summary: FALSE ADVERTISING - 17" powerbook owners beware
Review: If you have an Apple Powerbook 17", DO NOT BUY THIS BACKPACK. Although the product is nicely made and attractive, especially for the price, the notebook compartment is padded on the sides and bottom, but not on top. There is only an elastic band on top that holds the laptop in place. Although the manufacturer's description says that this backpack can hold a 17" powerbook, I suppose it would fit -- but the top of the notebook would be against the edge of the laptop and UNPADDED. If you care about avoiding dents in your powerbook, do not order this. On the other hand, if you have a 15" laptop and don't need a really-well insulated notebook compartment, I would recommend this bag. 16" is just borderline. It has a comfy gel padding on the back and a sporty look.

Summary: One Solid Unit
Review: 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.

Summary: Backpack delivers as promised, takes a load off! A+
Review: Looking for laptop backpacks that handle 16-17" screens seems to be a problem lately since more and more laptop mfgrs are making their screens larger, but fewer backpacks can handle them. Fortunately Targus has a reputation for durability and the TSB312 doesn't dissappoint. Takes a huge load off your shoulders with the hip strap(also one across the chest if you desire) and TONS of pockets to hold TWO water bottles, PDA, Cell phone, folders, and SO MUCH MORE! With an 8.5 lb computer(Sony VAIO GRV550) this laptop suits anyone's need to transport without feeling the heavy burden.

Summary: Excellent product for the money
Review: Purchased this item to use as a "briefcase" as a claims adjuster. Found the identical item for twice the price at Best Buy but returned it to order online at Amazon. Many pockets provide exceptional storage. Computer case can be removed separately to lighten the load when it's not needed. Carrying handle, back-pack and wheels with handle make it quite versatile no matter the terrain. Highly recommend this to anyone who needs a sturdy product that needs to be mobile.
