Awesome product and incredible value
By Kevin Woodward on November 12, 2004
Size: 16 InchColor: Black Verified Purchase
I purchased this product as a backup for my $100 leather laptop case and because I saw it listed as a top seller -- it's now my full-time laptop carrying case and I understand clearly why it is so popular.

Well-designed, sturdy and light ... perfect for the office as well as school. Lots of pockets without being gimmicky, ergonomics were definitely a major consideration in product development. It's so much more comfortable than my pricier laptop case and so much more versatile, too. I can carry books, files, lunch -- just about everything but the kitchen sink without getting a sore shoulder.

My purchase price was <$20 with the rebate but I would easily pay twice that with pleasure should I ever need to replace it. Un-be-liev-a-ble. Great for students or as a gift.

Targus Groove BACKPACK
By Porsche Williamson on March 31, 2006
Size: 16 InchColor: Black
I got tired of "trying to be a cute grad student" and set out to replace my painful messenger bag with a laptop carrying case that possessed the following:

(1) padded protection for a 14" wide screen laptop (Dell XPS m140) and its relatively small charger,

(2) space to accommodate at LEAST a 1.5" binder (and 1" text book, if at all possible)

(3) multiple compartments to store pens, graphing calculator, organizer, cell phone, and other small what-nots

(4) padded dual shoulder comfort/ superior durability

(5) in giving up the messenger back I knew I had to compromise some style but I really wanted something that wasn't terribly bulky, colorful or dramatic in overall design

(6) and most importantly- on a college student budget I refused to pay the $50+ price tag of many popular models...

So, I came across this backpack after a thorough search for something compatible. The Targus Groove Backpack met all of my criteria! Please note, I have not had it long enough to comment on durability but it is made very well (thick, tight stitching, smooth zippering, reinforced bottom, etc). It is a BIG book bag but it makes up for that in the modestly coordinated black nylon with gray logos and its non-bulky exterior. Additionally, the laptop pocket fits my Dell m140 perfectly (13x9x1.5") and it still has breathing room for thickness and height with a small Velcro strap to go over the top exposed portion of the laptop. The pocket padding is very sufficient, but I still keep mine in a thin protective sleeve to keep the case scratch free. I was ecstatic to find that it could house my overstuffed 1.Read more ›

A nice little college backpack.
By Amazon Customer on November 5, 2006
Size: 16 InchColor: Black Verified Purchase
This is my fourth Targus item, I've purchased over the past five years.

Targus is usually pretty good about keeping your laptops safe.

The backpack is nice, but a little small.

Also, the padding for back support is a little thin when you have a hard laptop or sharp edged book in the back compartment.

The handle on the top is a little cheap compared to the more expensive models.

But honestly this model, dollar for dollar value, probably surpasses its more expensive brothers.

From what I've seen from my other Targus backpacks, is that they have a heavy-duty use (aka regular college experience) lifetime of about one year or so. Then after a year, the seams by the zippers of backpack will start to rip & what not. I have not had this happen yet with my model, & I've been using it for about three months so far. But I've had it happen to every other Targus Backpack I've purchased.

This backpack will comfortable hold 3-4 textbooks plus a laptop computer or 4-5 textbooks san a laptop.

There are three major pocket areas that can hold calculators, writing utensils, & other college peripherals.

Over all I really like this backpack for the money.

I've purchased the more the expensive Targus Models, they are very nice, but you have a tendency to loose more items in your backpack then store. (and the only have a shelf live of a year anyway.)

This is a good deal.

************
Update: (Aug 18, 2007 Year One with the backpack)
Wow, it's been a year since I've purchased this backpack, I've taken it camping, across country, across the Ocean and it's as durable & shiny as it was a month or so after purchase.Read more ›

The Targus CVR600 Is Versitile, Well Made And Inexpensive
By Amazon Customer on July 7, 2004
Size: 16 InchColor: Black Verified Purchase
This is the least expensive Notebook Backpack that I could find but it's surprisingly well made and stylish. It looks much better than its picture...MUCH better. I like the numerous zippered pockets. There's a place for everything, digital camera, cell phone, papers, books and even a mouse. I prefer taking an external USB mouse instead of using the touch pad on my Notebook. There's three nice bubble type pockets, one of which fits my optical USB mouse nicely. My big Laptop with its 15.4" wide-screen fits inside the Backpack's built-in sleeve like a glove with no room to spare. Another nice feature is the PVC coated bottom. This will protect the computer if you inadvertently set the pack down on wet ground. Most Notebook Backpacks are considerably more expensive without giving you more. The Targus CVR600 was a perfect fit for my budget. Plus it's easy on the eye with good quality and plenty of compartments. I give it my highest recommendation. (Note: Amazon had the best price after FREE shipping was factored in.)
