I've had this Targus backpack now for about six weeks and I'm very pleased with the results. I purchased it mainly as a way to haul daily my HP Elitebook laptop, along with various office material - folders, presentations, pens, etc. My laptop is snug and secure (I had previously bought a Briggs and Riley sleeve, which I use in tandem with my Targus bag). It's performed nicely. There are just enough compartments for a moderate load of daily work - three folders, a notebook, power supply, mouse, Mp3 player, external hard drive and a network cable comfortably fit. The black balistic material has held up and looks sharp in the office.
I've traveled through airports three times - including Hartsfield International - and used the zip-thru feature. It allows you to "butterfly" open the backpack, so that the laptop can be screened without removing it from the luggage. This is a handy feature that allows you to more quickly collect your things while you're putting your belt and shoes back on. No more zipping/unzipping, loading/unloading of the computer. When I'm not traveling through the airport, the "butterfly" compartment - the small space between the laptop and the main compartment - can be used for light items, like a newspaper or a folder, for those times when you need just a little more room.
There are a nice collection of small, outside pockets where you can stash coins, pens, tickets and water bottles, so you don't have to dig through the main compartment.
I had used a softsided Land's End brief case before, but I find this much more convenient and comfortable for use on a daily basis. I highly recommend this product.
Update: April 26, 2012 - This product is still going strong. It's been out of the country and to multiple states. A good value and durable purhase.

Targus 15.6” Corporate Traveler Checkpoint-Friendly Backpack
The Targus 15.6” Corporate Traveler Checkpoint-Friendly Backpack is made to go on the road — whether that means the conference across town or the presentation across the country.
The patented* checkpoint-friendly design helps you fly through airport screenings without removing your laptop and a hidden trolley strap attaches the pack to your rolling luggage.
It’s easy to access your gear and gadgets with a zip-down workstation that organizes your pens, business cards, and supplies. The soft-lined nook just for your tablet keeps it secure, and there’s a dedicated file compartment with divider and mesh pockets for power storage. A water bottle holder keeps your coffee or water at arm’s length. *(US8,567,578)
Features
- Compatible with laptops 16" and under
- Durable water- and wear-resistant 1680D military-grade ballistic nylon
- Convenient water bottle pocket
- Removable accessory pouch

Sturdy and SecureOur patent-protected* SafePort Air Cushion System is a single chamber that combines vented air cushioning and high-density foam padding. These specially engineered adjustable polyurethane pillows “float” the laptop inside the case, providing superior side and vertical impact protection. Made from 1680 ballistic nylon provides a sleek, lightweight material that is water- and wear-resistant to safeguard your supplies from the elements. (US6,131,734) |
Intuitive OrganizationWith a tablet compartment, removable accessory pouch, and zippered side pocket, the Corporate Traveler Backpack is incredibly organized so that finding your pens, phone, and more is quick and easy. File dividers organize your documents and keep them looking fresh. A mesh side pocket on the side puts your water bottle or coffee mug at arm’s length. |
Contoured ComfortThe Corporate Traveler Backpack is made for creature comfort. It has carefully designed air mesh padding over the entire pack, including on the thick panels that contribute to air flow that help keep you cool. But where it comes into contact with you under a load is where we paid special attention. The contoured straps are lined and padded and were made to flex and bear the brunt of your gear’s weight. Adjustable sternum strap gives you extra support. |

Varios compartimentos que permiten organizar laptop, cables de red y diversos, un maletin de herramienta, cargador de AC, documentos, y articulos personales, etc, etc.
Excelente presentacion al portarla, no es la clasica donde predominan cierres y orificios por todos lados .
Estoy haciendo el cambio ya que mi anterior mochila de marca Samsonite, despues de 3 a%os se deterioro solo de los cierres principales , espero que esta eleccion sea mas durardera.
