Worth for the price...
The product is packed nicely and arrived with no damages. I am quite satisfied with the backpack.

Excellent
Very comfortable, and excellent for carrying around your laptop and ~2 books and some folders. Fits Dell D830

Nice computer backpack but not good for air travel
If I didn't fly frequently, I would have rated this backpack higher since it's inexpensive, sturdy, light, roomy, well-made, and fairly well organized.
However, it is not the best choice for frequent flyers since the laptop compartment is along the back of the main compartment, which means it is very difficult to get your laptop out for the security screen if you have anything in the main compartment. (And the design and the angle of the top of the main compartment actually make it even more difficult than it should be!)
Since my lapop is small (14"), it still fits in the laptop compartment even when in a sleeve, so I've been able to work around this issue by putting files in the laptop compartment and keeping the laptop in the sleeve in the front of the main compartment until I go through the security screen. However this is not optimal and I am looking for a new bag for traveling since the entire idea of having a computer bag is to keep the computer in the compartment that is designed to protect it! (And it's also rather annoying to have to "repack" the bag after going through security.)

My oher main issue with the bag (and I have this issue with other Targus computer backpacks as well as most computer backpack by other manufacturers) is the fact that "Targus" embroidered on the front of the backpack in large letters in a contrasting color. Since part of the reason for using a computer backpack is that a backpack (in theory) isn't as obviously a computer bag as a roller, the prominent branding negates the "camouflage" since everyone knows Targus doesn't make regular backpacks.

great value
This case is just what I needed. My laptop fits along with it's mouse. There are a couple of spots for pens and pencils and perhaps a calculator and maybe some papers. If what you want is a nicely padded lightweight case for your laptop and not much more then this should fill the need. A really great value for the money.
