Then I went to a business conference in Paris and I had to take the bag with me in order to please my wife. Packing was never an easy thing to do for me, but with Targus Zip-Thru my problem was solved within minutes.

It has 3 major compartments, the back one is especially designed for laptops and it can easily fit my 15.6 inch Acer Aspire laptop; there is also a small compartment that splits the bag in two and a larger sleeve were I stuffed a set of indoors clothes. A large external pocket is placed right in front of the bag and there I stored some files, the laptop adapter and some hygiene items. It also features some smaller pockets for various accessories.

Moving around with this backpack in the airport was quite ok. All the weight of my bag rested on my shoulders instead of my right hand, and that was a pleasant change. The check in was a lot faster than usual, I only had to unzip the special compartment and split the back in two for easier X-ray scan. I still had to take out the laptop since they scan it separately, but that took only few seconds so I gained extra time to visit the shops till my plane arrived. In the plane the bag fit perfectly under my seat.

If you travel by air, this Zip-Thru Air Traveler Backpack is a must have. It saves you a lot of time at check-in and it doesn’t feel like a boulder pending on your shoulders.

I particularly like the display of those three sleeves marked by grey zippers, it helps me keep all my stuff organized. I use the small front pocket to keep my audio devices and cell phone, the middle pocket for school books and the large one for my laptop and cables.

When I have to leave the house for 8-10h a day I always take with me an extra t-shirt, and even with all this weight on my shoulders it’s still comfortable due to those padded shoulder straps that take all the pressure.

Another great advantage of this backpack is its simple design and I can tell you now, it really has good zippers; even after a few months of daily usage they haven’t got stuck once. The main compartment designed for the laptop is padded and if you wonder whether that is enough to assure your equipment safety, it really is! Within these past few months I constantly dropped my bag in all that school rush, yet my laptop is still in perfect condition. I even carry the bag with me on my school trips.

If you need a simple and resistant backpack for any kind of outing: school, work or trips Targus BTS Groove TSB152US Backpack for Laptops should be the perfect choice for you too. I haven’t regretted once buying this product; it’s really worth the money.
