Pros & Cons
Pros
This bag is huge and fits everything i need with ease. The waist strap is particularly helpful when i go crazy and decide to take a heavier load. The zippers have large pull tabs which makes it easy open and close the zippers.
Top handle on my targus is still in its original shape and sturdiness. Water-resistant to a certain extent. The durability is also good, but there is a soft part that can damage the item inside.
Great product with superb lifetime warranty. Great quality. I'm a bit of a turtle, where i like to take my home with me.
This backpack was originally purchased new in 2004. The original one is still in great condition, not a single tear. This is the second one i have purchased. The quality of the build still maintains the same good standard.
Cons
The new version just has a padded open pocket -- maybe designed for a cell phone. The front flap that covers a couple of mesh pockets is prone to tugging too much on the poorly stitched seams. There is only one zipper where there is two on one of the ... Read More
The padding in the laptop compartment is definitely thinner that it was on the older bags. It seems they also opted to remove the mesh pocket that nicely holds chargers, mice, etc without changing the model number.

It's either a cheap chinese clone, or targus's quality has really gone down hill. The build quality is pathetic and very cheap. It is so disappointing that a backpack which was beautiful and incredibly durable and strong has been made so cheap to cut ... Read More
Highlights
Quality
It is very large and well made and it has held up throughout the school year
This durable and resilient bag had withstood the test of time and is still going strong after all this time
Bad quality it did not take long for to tear apart
One of the main straps finally broke in 2019
Price
Anyway i am quite pleased with this along with the price
It would almost be foolish not to buy this at the stated price as of this date 55
I bought mine at a higher price back in 2011
Shipping
I was pleased with all my purchases and the delivery was always on time
Planning a trip overseas for two weeks and taking it along
Packaging/appearance
Whether it is a 2 day trip or a 2 week trip it is roomy enough to fit what i have to pack
Competitiveness
At the end the choice was between swiss gear and targus

That being said its got its drawbacks
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The material around the zippers is not firm so it takes a good deal of effort to pull up most of the zippers as the bag around it gets pulled up and the zipper requires more pulling
