Targus TXL617 Notebook Backpack - Fits Notebook PCs up to 17"Item#: T22-1221  |  Model#: TXL617

The last case you'll ever buy!

I use to buy 1 backpack every year because they would simply not last. I bought this one 3 years ago and it still looks like new... and it's being used daily. Your shopping stops here!

What I needed

I have a 17,3 inches laptop which fit in the laptop area. I Can put up to 3 full binders (1 inch each) in the main division, and one more on the secondary division (the one with the laptop). The only thing missing is a little more space on the little divisions on the front, they are smaller than they appear.

Looking for a really large backpack?

I just purchased this for my son to carry his 17.3 inch laptop computer to class & books. He is going to a college where EVERYONE rides bikes because the campus is spread out. It's in CA, so no snow, but rain. I decided on this one because of the room, price & durability. IT IS HUGE inside!!! The laptop fits NO PROBLEM, with LOTS of extra room for books, spiral folders, & whatever else. It is made of a heavy nylon material (not canvas), but looks to be water resistant. Has a nice sturdy rubber padded carry handle at the top, as well as padded ergonomically curved shoulder straps. Straps also have D rings to clip on extras. He has tried it on & says it's comfortable. It also has LOTS of pockets for extras. He really likes the front flap with clips that open to expose inner hidden pockets. Haven't used it yet, so don't know how durable it is, but it looks like it has heavy duty zippers & material. Don't know about performance until we use it.

Survived Africa Trip

Used this backpack to not only hold my laptop but alot of other things. Stood up well. Have bought this bag twice at different companies. Looking to buy again. Cons: Wished it opened up for airport security and a little more padding around the laptop and on the bottom.

Best bang for your buck

I bought this to carry around my Asus G74SX. Anyone who onwns one of these laptops knows how hard it is to find a bag that fit's this laptop for under 100 bucks. This bag does, and does well. The laptop feels snug in the pocket and the zippers close without issue. It also feels really comfortable on the back with the addition of the waist strap. I'd reccomend this bag to anyone who needs space for a HUGE laptop and anything else they need to carry.

Great Backpack

At first I was a little scared that it wouldn't fit my Asus G74Sx-RH71 Laptop because of it's unusual shape, I have to admit It's a real tight fit, but it works. Still extra shock padding for the laptop would be appreciated and a little more sturdy nylon would be good as well. But it's doing an ok job for my laptop and the stuff that I have to carry along with it.

Just OK

This bag is nothing special. I'm still looking for a first quality backpack for an 18 inch laptop.

Best for the price

I bought this backpack for my VAIO 18.4 It fits perfectly and there is still enough space for extra stuff. This huge backpack is excellent if you are looking to accommodate a large laptop without breaking your bank.

Great bag

I used this to lug not only my current HP laptop but my old dinosaur (6 yrs old) Gateway latptop to my boyfriends & both laptops & accessories made it through the flights without any problem. Took the weight of all of that fantastic. Glad I bought this bag.

Easy to over pack

the Bag has survived my over stuffing tests. and suits me fine, my Dell Studio 1747 17in laptop fits fine, with space to spare. Holds all the D&D books I have with ease, only problem is that it's easy to carry more than you should.
