Voyager Laptop Backpack 17.3 Blk

I had one of these for 7 years. It stood up to a lot of abuse. It's great for traveling and school. It can hold 4-5 days worth of cloths, my lap top and other supplies without an issue. It got me through high school, undergrad and my masters degree. It was still functioning well but showing its age so I just bought another identical one.

I read a couple of reviews of this laptop backpack and reread them and I was decided. The whole thing is clever and as a reviewer said it doesn't call much attention to itself so it's not a magnet for thieves. I've been using a well made laptop backpack that came with a Dell but it has alot of missing features that make traveling difficult. I haven't used this Targus while traveling yet but will write something else when I do.

I've had numerous bags until i found this one. It is amazingly designed. Just like another commenter I've had it throughout undergrad and into medschool. It's been reliable for work and school, but also for trudging through blizzards, rainstorms, beach volleyball tournaments, hiking to the peak of tropical volcanoes, and everything in between.

If you spend 100$ on this backpack, you will definitely have it pay for itself.

Nothing short of WOW. I looked for durability, comfort, functionality, and a good design. this has them all. this was a solid choice for long term use for my laptop and daily needs. GET THIS ONE. you won't be sorry you did.

fits a 17.3" laptop easily in its own padded compartment with a strong Velcro top strap inside the main compartment. there's room for additional stuff in the main compartment, and the other wall (to the next section of the backpack) has a second padded little pocket -looks about the size of a portable cd player with another little Velcro strap holder. apparently this is made for audio equip, because the outside top of that has a little rubber flap port for headphones to go out of.

then you hit the front pocket of the bag, which has another padded compartment w a Velcro strap, elastic pen holders, a detachable key fob, a clear id pocket and a little holder for stuff behind that. behind that (still in the front compartment) there's yet another little pouch-long and thin diameter though, which holds a little removable cd holder which looks like it holds about 7 cds.

then on the other wall of that (attached to the flap of the next compartment) there's another pouch, semicircular mesh (I use that for power cables, etc.)

then there's the last pocket in the front which has a thick reflective cooler type coating which is where I store my lunch and drinks. (I actually trust this enough to store a liquid in the same pack as my nice laptop, and that is saying something right there.) its got room for maybe a lunch container n drink, not like a 6 can cooler or anything.

all these pouches are part of the main pack, which is covered by the top flap and secured by the 2 quick lock buckles visible in the picture. that top flap has yet another pouch (great for quick grab stuff) and has 2 rubber x holes (good water seal on them) so the headphones can pass through both sides of that pocket to go down into the cd holder deeper in the pack.

ok, I seriously love pockets for gadgets and stuff, so i'm in heaven with this one. I feel like an advertisement for the dang pack--"...but wait, there's more..." (seriously there is) on the sides of the pack are 2 additional pockets on each side. 1 zip with a nice fuzzy inner liner, and one elastic mesh pocket over that. on one side the elastic mesh pocket actually has one of those variable closeable quick locks w a string like you'd find on a sleeping bag stuff sack. I like that because it gives extra support to heavy cans of energy drinks, big water bottles, etc.

the seam points on this are all triple tacked and well stitched. the zippers all have nice rugged rubber handle grips for easy grabbing. the actual material is great. the bottom and the low part of the sides and the whole bottom front has this really durable anti-abrasive material that I once paid lots of money to get put onto a pair of snowboard pants.--keeps the pack from being torn on surfaces or liquid soaking right through if put on a 'not so clean' surface. completely awesome.

the last thing, and one of the main things I look for in a backpack, is the comfort of the shoulder harness and comfort of wearing the pack under load. they got this pack right in terms of load-bearing comfort and durability. the part you wear against your back has got excellent(and thick enough that you could go backpack w it for days), comfortable breathable padding on it, the shoulder straps are good also. I've noticed carrying a heavy laptop and books over time definitely affects the way packs hang, and a lot of shoulder straps either can't take the weight and tear, or dig into my shoulders, or screw up my back posture, or stick out so far i almost fall over backwards when carrying bulky stuff. not with this pack. (oh thank you, thank you people who designed this pack right!!!!) this back and shoulder padding setup makes the weight distribute correctly and is really comfortable for long term use and wear. the shoulder straps have a solid and a frequently tacked support strap to decrease tension wear on the straps and move it to the pack itself. the pack also has a waist and chest load adjustment strap with again well stitched connectors and easily grabbed ending rings for adjustment. it also comes w a neat little detachable phone/mp3 player pouch on one shoulder strap, which can actually fit an iphone in a case. the top carry handle for hand carrying is solid, well tacked and stitched, and has a nice neoprene velcroing hand grip on it.

the shape this takes with stuff in it is well designed. it holds stuff more vertically for good balance than poofing way out horizontally under load.

I have to say, the fact that I can say so many good things about this pack is a testament to how many crappy packs I've worn in the past. it's nice to finally have something well made that will last.

the last phenomenal thing about this backpack is it actually has its own stowable rain cover that goes into a zipper little pouch at the bottom of the pack. complete genius. you take out the little rain pouch and it covers the whole pack excepting the shoulder straps and the part against your back. now THAT makes me feel good about keeping my laptop safe and dry. (and why doesn't anyone else have this???????? probably because they didn't put that much thought into the design of the pack to begin with.)

I have to take my hat off to Targus for this AWESOME of a design in a backpack. the quality here rivals very expensive backpacking packs in many respects, IT IS JUST THAT GOOD. I would like to see more companies make equipment like this rather than sell of cheaply made poorly designed stuff that rips quickly, holds loads poorly, and are just not that functional nor really useful, let alone inventive in their design and meticulous in their manufacture.

im not sure how but they made this beast look classy and discrete when set on a floor (nothing to see here, move along...this is not your backpack and there's nothing inside you want). I am not afraid to take this pack into a grungy place and set it down but I also feel like I look good wearing it.

this is the best backpack I've found and was a solid choice. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. (and, did I mention, it even has a stowable rain cover???) an excellent backpack/laptop pack.
