Man, they stay trying to give these away. Got one for $7 a while back. Gave it away though. Just not big enough

anyone familiar with the differences between the ii and this iii? compared the data sheets and they seem basically identical..not as much of a fan of the corner logo patch on this iii vs. the centered silkscreen logo on the ii, but other than that..seems maybe the iii is slightly deeper front to back?

iii: https://files.bbystatic.com/2owJn...ct%2BSheet
ii: https://files.bbystatic.com/yGLNe...ct%2BSheet

i feel like a broken record talking about this particular bag in previous threads, but it's held up well over two years with going into the office once or twice a week, pretty fully loaded with a 15.6" workstation laptop, sometimes an extra external portable monitor, ac adapter, phone charger, cables, water bottle, lidded coffee cup, etc. etc.

not sure what the lifetime warranty covers exactly, but it sounds nice on paper!

The only difference is the logo.

I bought the II almost a year back and used for work (going into the office twice a week) and travel overseas (several trips), its suprisingly much better than I expected.

It feels very comfortable to put it on your back.

13 bucks (I bought it like 15-16) will be well spent.

No it doesn't. I haven't seen any of the Targus cheaper backpacks that do, or else I would replace mine that I've had for over 10 years. I use mine primarily as a carry-on personal item when I travel and it gets heavy with all the items I stuff into it, so it would be nice to be able to put it on top of my roller bag without worrying about it falling off.

Why?

You get free shipping from Best Buy, whereas Amazon requires Prime membership or $35 purchases for free shipping.

Sigh, when you stay trying to get locked up...
