5 out of 5 eggsDurable, Spacious

Pros: This backpack can hold alot of stuff. At one point I was carrying 6 classes worth of books, my 17" HP Elite Book, 10" tablet, portable wifi router, a change of cloths, and a handful of accessories for my electronics 4 days a week at college.

It is quite durable, I've been using my backpack since the fall of 2010 without fail and I still carry it 4-5 days a week.

One of the only bags that can comfortably hold a 16:10 aspect 17" or an 18.3" laptop.

Cons: The plastic buckle on the waist strap is kind of fragile. I managed to break mine off about 9 months after owning the bag. Its not a big deal but be careful not to step on it or let it catch on furniture.

Other Thoughts: Overall I couldnt have asked for a better bag for the price. My wife carries a bag that cost over twice what this one did which would not be able to hold my laptop, and its not wearing as well as this targus bag is.

5 out of 5 eggsASUS G74Sx Fits Nicely!

Pros: This backpack was made for my G74Sx at 17.3+ size. If you been looking for a backpack with space for the power brink (G74Sx has a large one), other associated attachments and books, then this is the back pack for you.

Cons: Would like to have seen double stitching at the handle, but, should last a while if not yanked with a load in the pack.

Other Thoughts: This backpack can certainly be loaded down, so be prepared to place a load on your back, and if you do a lot of foot traveling it will give you a great workout.

5 out of 5 eggsGood stuff

Pros: I sometimes have to carry two laptops and a netbook as well as a whole load of supporting hardware.
This laptop easily held all of it.

The rubberized carry handle is a nice upgrade from previous targus backpacks I've owned.

Smells kinda nice, like starch.

Cons: Might not fit in the overhead, or go all the way under the seat on smaller regional jets.
I had to turn it sideways at the request of a flight attendant and then it was kinda encroaching on the footspace of the person next to me.

5 out of 5 eggsWent to Iraq

Pros: Durable (!!!), washable, tons of pockets, good laptop protection, keeps stuff cool, too

Cons: One of the zippers is a little finicky - but only after 4 years of use. It reseals if you pull it back to the start point, so it's not a deal-breaker.

Other Thoughts: This one rolled to Iraq with me. It made it there and back via milair holding a 17" laptop without issue, and survived a remote location in the desert. Then, I took it around to places like Korea, where it got to experience all the snow and mud that Korean can offer, which is a lot. I've gone on over 50 trips with this thing over 6 years. Every trip was to some armpit of the world or another, and I cannot go on enough about how durable this thing has been. It's sitting under my desk right now and I use it daily, still.

5 out of 5 eggsHIgh School to College to LANs to Cottage and Farms

Pros: Sturdy
Holds A LOT
Looks good

Even after what may be close to two years of being thrown around tossed in trunks, crammed in packed cars, and even the occasional drop in mud, this backpack is going strong.

Cons: Front area thats buckled to the larger portion of the backpack is kinda awkward, but still works, and it useful in some situations.

I think one zipper broke, on the smallest front pocket, but I think that was because it got caught and ripped open.

There might be a tare in one of the inner linings, or pocket separator, but only minor. I don't even notice it enough to really remember it.

Other Thoughts: I've had this backpack for about a year and a half, and ut has been great, I take it to class, load it up with LAN gear and take it wherever I take my computer, and I will load it up with weekends worth of work jeans and lounging clothes, with room to spare for a large laptop, chargers, and even a rolled up full size pillow.

One thing I would caution, since this backpack can hold a ton, dont be tempted to carry all your books/gear on a daily basis, I did hurt my back that way, even with good posture and a strong back.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend, and yes I would buy again.

Pardon any bad grammer or spelling errors, this was not proofread.
