Targus Urban II Backpack Designed for 16-Inch Laptops - TSB196US (Black/Navy Trim)

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.

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.

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.

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.
