I tried this backpack on at Future Shop (about $110) and it felt amazing. I am looking for a rugged backpack that has compartments galore and that could satisfy my wireless-mobile-wandering lifestyle. I also want it to act as hiking daypack as well. The TSB045CA model even has a hidden rain cover at the bottom and a waist strap.
Here are the details from the Targus.ca web site…
The Targus Voyager Backpack is designed to fit notebooks with up to 17″ screens and is perfect for those who travel with a number of mobile accessories. This backpack includes a large insulated compartment and two water bottle pockets, ideal for food and beverage storage. The zip-down workstation features an ID holder, pen loops, CD/DVD storage, removable key fob and an accessory pouch. The large main storage section has plenty of room for books and files. The CD/MP3 player pocket with line-out porthole for headphones is a convenient place to store your media while on the go. This case also features a hidden rain cover to protect your notebook from all of the elements. Offering a high level of comfort and plenty of storage options, the Voyager Backpack is a versatile solution that can be used as a commuter solution for the business professional or as a day pack for the student.
