Whether you’re a traveler, a businessman, a student, or whatever, you’ll find that a computer backpack is a terrific convenience whenever you need to haul yourself and your laptop from one place to another. However, you need to know where to start and what kinds of features to look for, so you can narrow down the selection and make an appropriate choice.
Padding Is Most Important
One of the most important aspects of Targus laptop backpack is the level of padding that it offers. After all, you’ll be hauling around your computer inside, and you need to ensure that it won’t get damaged in the process. Different bags come with many different types of padding, and you should place an emphasis on the quality of this above anything else.
Durability
Of course, you’ll also want your Targus laptop?0?2backpack to be durable and sturdy. This will be determined by how the bag is constructed and what kinds of materials are used. A common choice of material is neoprene, which is soft, lightweight and flexible but still strong and long lasting.
Recognized Brands
There are a variety of other materials that are commonly used as well and some brands seem to stick with certain options or styles more than others. Some of the most reputable brands for Targus?0?2laptop backpack include Belkin, Swiss Gear, Targus and Case Logic. All of these brands have strong reputations and you’ll find a variety of styles and designs with each of them.
Style
While protection and durability are primary concerns, you also want your bag to look great and feel comfortable as well. So be sure to make a selection that will match your personal style, and will offer easy transportation. Adjustable, padded shoulder straps are always a plus for this, and you may also want to look for handles or sling style bags.
Laptop Size Makes a Difference
Before you make your purchase, don’t forget to take a look at the laptop size that is recommended for the?0?2Targus Laptop backpack ?0?2that you’re choosing. Your bag should be specifically sized to deal with the size of laptop that you have. That’s because you want a snug and secure fit for your bag, and you want to make sure it will be completely protected at all times. Never try to squeeze a laptop into a bag that’s too small, and also be cautious about putting a smaller laptop in a larger bag, where it may have room to slide around unprotected.
You Need the Protection
Targus Laptop backpack can be a great item to have so that you can carry your computer around with ease, protecting it at all times and always having it with you when you need it. But not all of them are created equally, so make your selection carefully. Think about the quality of the padding and the durability of the bag, as well as the size of the bag, the style and appearance and the brand. If you make your selection based on these factors, you’ll be sure to come away with something that is perfect for your needs, like a Targus laptop backpack.

I’ve been looking for a backpack to hold my asus G53 15.6′ notebook. Even tho the screen size is 15.6", its still huge. Almost as big as my old 17" Dell XPS m1710. So, I’ve come across the Targus CityGear backpacks as a top choice.
Does anyone know if the 15.4" targus citygear backpack will fit the laptop? (smaller listed screen size, but the 17" targus citygear backpack is too big for the average 17", so i’m wondering if it’ll be the same for the 15.4")
Otherwise does anyone know of any other really good backpacks I should look into? besides the targus XL and the wenger ibex and pegasus.

I will be starting college this fall, and am looking to purchase a new backpack. I own a North Face Recon pack, but it does not fit my 15.6" HP g6s laptop. I also do not like the sleeve style laptop section. I would prefer a dedicated zipper compartment for my laptop, because I do not want it to get scratched. (It is a purple color; scratches would be very visible.) I know I can’t stop normal wear and tear, but I do not want it scratched too badly. I need enough room in the pack to hold books and binders, and it would be nice to have a pocket for other accessories.
I have looked at the North Face Surge pack and liked it, but I was hoping to find a suggestion for another brand of pack specifically for laptops. I have looked at Targus. They have nice packs, but none are very stylish. I am a girl, and I would prefer a backpack that didn’t seem so masculine. Any suggestions?
Sparkle, thank you so much for your answer! I totally agree with you, but I’m afraid a sticker shield won’t cut it for me. I’m handicapped, and if I fall while walking I need to know that my laptop is okay. Your shield idea is awesome, but it won’t be much help when I slip and my things hit the pavement. It can and will happen. On that note, I will keep your advice in mind and watch out for thieves! Thank you!

Targus 17" CityGear Laptop Backpack VS
eBags TLS Workstation Laptop Backpack
I need help deciding which backpack is more suitable for me. I am going to be using the backpack for school.Im in college, and obviously, i will be carrying a laptop. I need good padding for my laptop, and lots of space for my books, and notebooks. I really like the simple look of the ebags, but from pictures it seems like the targus has alot more space. On a daily basis, i will probably carrying two textbooks, my laptop, and a usually a hardback novel. I also do like the color variety from the ebags backpack because i usually get out late from classes,studying, and working.
I am looking on ebags.com, if anyone is wondering. If there is a better site or better backpack you have in mind, i am open to suggestions.thank you
