Targus TSB312 16 Sport Deluxe Notebook Backpack

At first sight, I knew it was a high quality product. The material, zippers everything feels and seems perfect, high quality. Carrying is easy as it can get.

This bag has a lot of space to carry the laptop(mine is 15inch but it can easily carry an 16inch i guess), adapter, some books, cell phone etc. It is like a combination of a "mountain bag" and a laptop bag. Has lots lots of compartments and support for the laptop...

If you want quality, easy carrying, and you need space for books etc, buy this.

Just be aware: Maybe this is the best laptop backpack, but I think this deffinitely is not the smallest backpack available for your laptop. If you want a compact, mini bag, don't buy this.

This is by far the best notebook backpack I found. My laptop is a 15.5" and its hard to to find a backpack that wasnt HUGE. This doesnt look huge but it has so much room inside it and plenty of space for books, disc, power cords, a mouse, etc. I also think its well made and has enough padding to protect your laptop. The zippers are great!!! Really smooth and it never feels like its sticking. Its also a lot easier on your back than one of the messenger style notebook cases! It also comes with a lifetime warrenty if you fill out the card and mail it back (at least mine did...it was inside the bag).

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.

I've had this backpack since Sept, 2003 - never an issue. Some people complains about the main buckle - it never failed me. It has carried my T23, T40 and now T43 w/o issues - and has traveled at least 100K miles with me ;). It even allowed me to carry _two_ T40s together - no problem at all.

Only caveat: as someone else said, a pencil holder and a couple of internal pockets for glasses/business cards/etc would be a nice touch. Other than that, best backpack I've used in 14+ years to carry a notebook.

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.
