Holds everything and then some!!
It fits the laptop, headphones, and mouse with ease with plenty of room for more. It's a heavy laptop and the bag helps to distribute the weight nicely. The backpack seems very sturdy.

Zippers are horrible.
Zippers get stuck & split right from the first use. Does not have luggage/trolley sleeve to attach to rolling luggage handle. Number of and location of pockets are great though.

Great travel bag
Used it to travel in flight, comfortable to have on my back and if you dont overload it you can store it under the flight seat in front of you.

Laptop backpack.
My son had this backpack and the straps started to fray. He liked it so much that he wanted another one. So I bought it as a Christmas present for him.

17" Drifter II
The backpack is fantastic for traveling because it can fit so much stuff. If wanting to use the bag for airplane travel, it is a little big to fit under the seat.

Like everything but the zippers.
I bought this backpack just over 2 years ago and really liked it. But now the zipper on the laptop area isn't holding up. I'll be walking and and it just rips open. After a couple tries it zips back together, but now I don't trust putting anything in that compartment.

Targus, the best laptop bag.
A very great bag. Durable. It holds my all equipment. My old Targus bag lasted for ten years before I bought this new one

It is perfect for school holding laptop and many other items nicely organized. My 14 year old son loves it. This is the second one purchased, same model/style and color.

Enlarging opening of the small bag
Impressive backpack, I hope Targus will redo the small bag, or, is my hand too big... Well, whatever it may be, in the meantime I'll give them only 4 stars, once they improve this product they will have 5 stars of excellence.

A mistake that I wish I could take back
Generally good quality and functionality. However, the zipper system is awful. Wont stay closed and I will have retire rhis bag before I start losing items just walking down the street.

Awesome Padded Backpack - Awesome Protection with Lots of Storage Very Durable and Lasts
We have bought this same backpack for years (about 7 years and probably over 50+ of these exact same ones) from Dell for our company. Even with laptops screen sizes getting smaller we still get the model.
With all of these bought we are still using the same ones. I have maybe once replaced out this backpack. I've had my same one for around 7 years+. Quality, Durable and Last.
There is SO MUCH storage places. Everything you need to take with you will fit as well.
Excellent padding on the back so it is Not uncomfortable when carrying.
Awesome Protection!
Absolutely Love Them!

Bad straps
Spent lots of time looking for the right bag. In less than a month the straps ripped. I do not recommend.

Received a defective bag - Stay away!
I bought this bag 3 months ago. After 2 weeks of use, the straps started to tear. I was willing to compromise but it just kept on tearing.
I contacted the Targus costumers service, and they offered to examine the product and send a replacement *only if* it is a production defect - That's fine.
The representative send me the details on how to conduct the claim:
I will have to send the bag to them, pay for the delivery (almost half of the bag's price, wait about 4 weeks for them to examine it and decide whether I should get a replacement or not.
I will take a long brake until purchasing Targus products again.
Stay away of this product as well - it is not as comfortable and diverse as it looks in the images.

An Immortal Laptop Bag
I've owned a Drifter Laptop Bag for the last 13 years; it's traveled over three continents with me through tens of thousands of miles on the road and on a plane. It truly lives up to its name; I only purchased a second one so that my child can have the same laptop protection as I have, and I'm almost positive I will hand my original down to one of my future grandkids.

If you're a man, you want this bag. Thing will probably outlast me. I didn't realize Targus has such cool stuff, I'll be back.

Lasted 7 years, handled and protected tools well!
I have had this backpack for 7 years and it has finally had it. The zippers don't close and the top has ripped open. Overall, this backpack has been rugged and has seen extensive use. I have not had another laptop backpack that has lasted as long as this one.

Great Professional Backpack for Airport Traveling
This is the best backpack I have ever owned. It is the only backpack that has the zippered compartment at the back of the backpack under the straps that is perfect for putting your wallet, keys, phone, etc when you are going thru airport security. The backpack has a nice selection of compartments. Well-made and TARGUS has the best warranty and the easiest customer service of any company, better than REI.
I wished that a larger size was sold, say 60-65 L. The current size of 42L is about the largest size of any backpack sold, today.

loved it.
The backpack is a solid choice for those seeking durability and organization. Its quality construction ensures it can handle daily wear and tear effortlessly. What really impressed me were the numerous pockets—perfect for keeping everything neatly organized. Admittedly, it leans towards the heavier side, yet surprisingly, it remains comfortable even when fully loaded. Overall, it's a reliable companion for anyone needing a sturdy and well-organized backpack.
