I've used a Targus backpack for several years now and have been very
happy with it. It's my IT "survival" pack. I can carry my laptop,
accessories, CDs, extra network cables, various adapters, a few
books, etc. and be prepared wherever I go. I've been through
countless airports (even international) and the bag has yet to see
any significant wear. The only thing I didn't like was the padding
along the bottom was a bit thin and I felt that if I placed the pack
down too hard, the laptop would take a big jolt. But, I simply cut
some foam and placed it in the bottom and haven't had a problem.
I think Targus has very well made laptop backpacks and recommend them.
Unfortunately, they don't make my style anymore. The closest they
have is this one:

Where this one has 3 main compartments + 1 small, mine has 2 main + 1
small. Otherwise they're very similar.
Hope this helps.
