Digital camera reviews of Targus XL Backpack Designed for 17 Inch Notebooks TXL617 (Black with Blue Accents)
Digital camera Review: Beware: It's enormous!
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm sure it's a durable quality backpack. However I disliked how the zippers on the two larger compartments zipped all the way down. If the compartment is slightly/half way open it often completely unzips. Few items have fallen out that way. They should have really called this backpack an XL backpack. For someone who is 6 + feet tall it may be OK. However, if you're just over 5 feet like me... this backpack just looks ridiculous. I simply looked funny walking around campus. Tried it out for one day to see if I could handle it... absolutely not haha.
However, it was extremely comfortable for it's size. You truly will be able to fit everything you need in there. Probably 4-5 text books, along with a laptop, lunch and change of clothes. It's like wearing a suitcase on your back. Would be great for traveling and business trips.
Before you purchase compare the dimensions with a backpack you already own... would help tremendously. Hope this helps!
Digital camera Review: Big
Summary: 4 Stars
This backpack is huge and you can stuff a lot of stuff into it which is great for traveling. The pockets don't have many subcompartments or dividers which is a disappointment given the previous Targus backpacks I have had.Digital camera Review: Big & Plenty

******Update December 2008******
So, I am still using it and everything works fine. I use it for vacation, weekend trips, everything. It's really great. I still say it was a bit of overkill....however, better to have more than less. If you are super organized, then I think you will love this even more. I can EASILY say that this is a great value. The material still looks very good and shows no sign of wear. After so many years, for me to come back to this review and mention this also says a lot. I highly recommend it! I guess 4.5 stars would have been more accurate.
This is really large. I mean, REALLY large. It holds my Dell Inspiron 9300 with plenty of room. I also have room for my camera bag, and much more. It is very comfortable. My only reason for giving it 4 stars is that it has too many openings. It makes it difficult to find things. I wish it came with wheels, because it would be easier to lug around when fully loaded (and believe me, you can really load this bag). I am very happy with this bag, and would like to note that the padding is good....not great, but good, acceptable.
Digital camera Review: Big Bag
Summary: 5 Stars
I am planning to go to Iraq for a year. I've been told to load up on the electronics, but beware the sand which is as fine as baby powder. I also have concerns about impact protection. The product descriptions supplied by previous customers were accurate. This is a big bag with plenty of room for my 15.4" Lenovo wrapped in a sleeve, my 500 GB hard drive, webcam, ipod, camcorder, paperwork, wires and some toiletries and some clothes if I push it. It is true that the older version has an elastic draw string in addition to the clips to keep the front flap snug to the bag and this one does not, a minor nuisance/inconvenience (The front flap contains smaller zipped compartments). My roomate has the older version in the smaller size, and the bag is better with the drawstring, but there are other minor changes that are improvements.

This bag can take a licking and keep on ticking in addition to protecting it's contents. Did 5 months out of state travel and then 1 year in Iraq and the bag and it's contents were undamaged. I've had my laptop, inside an additional neoprene sleeve, inside the bag during movement and mobilization with no problems. The bag was even tossed off a few Black Hawk helicopters with no problems. Great product, still using it. Will take it back to Iraq or Afghanistan soon.
Digital camera Review: Big Bag!
Summary: 4 Stars
This bag is huge! It holds everything and the kitchen sink. So, it can get really heavy really fast! Good product if that is what you want... I am currently looking for a smaller bag. When I do take it to school people ask if I am going camping! It is that big! If you are looking for a big bag this is the one. I have found it good for vacations. Yes, it had room for school books, but think of the weight it adds.
