I bought this. It's a kids size backpack. Quality is ok for the price. It's not a $40 bag.

Quote from FaithfulCorn509 :
I used Targus packs from 2004 until about 2022. The great thing about then is that they have (had?) a lifetime guarantee that they actually honored. I had the pack I bought in 2004 replaced twice free in that time. For the latest replacement in 2022 i had to get a different style since they stopped making the bag style I bought in 2004, otherwise I'd still be using Targus as my daily bag. I'll mention, 2004-2022, I went from college to grad school to professor: I used the bag and it's free replacements hard and they held up.
I have the version 1 of this bag bought from a few years ago, one of the zipper broke and I've emailed their customer service. They want me to ship the bag back in order to see if I qualify for a replacement. I've told them no thanks since I've bought it for around $13.

I bought one anyway, but I am curious as to how big the water bottle pockets are? I have had a thule for years but the pockets are too small for my 24 oz owala.

This particular model in Targus is not good quality, especially the handle and shoulder straps will break quick and easy.

Pretty cheap with zero bottom cushion to protect your laptops from a fall.

Lol but.. Bottom cushion is what makes a laptop bag a laptop bag.

So this is just a bag pretty much, that just happens to hold a laptop.

This is a personal item sized bag. If you have a carry-on, this would be the second bag.

Isn't the sleeve padded on the bottom? I have the targus 2 and the laptop compartment is lightly padded. It is slightly suspended up from the bottom and the lower back padding folds under as well when you set it down.

Got this item delivered now. OK quality. I got it for work, to carry 15.6 laptop. For this price, good one. Don't expect it to last years.

I am buying it right now. Pick up is free, shipping to your home is not free. It is $5.99 (I live in Irvine, CA. Not out in the middle of nowhere.)

Yes, can confirm this bag is really on the tiny side. Orderd online and just went to pickup but ended up returning instead.

Just picked one up. The bag does have decent cushion on the bottom, front and back. It protects nice enough for $12
