I have been on Tour as a Roadie for almost 3 years now. I bought this bag before I started touring. This bag has seen hundreds of flights, thousands of cities, and several countries. I have been very rough on this bag the entire time, and I finally broke the pull handle. Under normal use I bet this would last much longer. The laptop compartment is very well padded. My macbook has seen two falls off stage and a fall down the stars in this bag and it is still in great shape. The pocket design works very well for traveling, holding many cables, chargers, tools, books, cards, paperwork, and many other random things I tend to pick up on the road. It is very easy to go from backpack to rolling when getting off the plane, and viceversa. I can do so with out losing a stride on the jetway. I've spent the last week looking at every rolling backpack I can find to see if there is something better out there, but I can't find it. Targus said they would be happy to replace mine with the lifetime warranty, I just don't have time before I head out for tour so I'm buying another one as soon as I'm done typing...

I have been using the rolling backpack for a couple of weeks now in airports, office buildings, asphalt streets, concrete paved streets, etc. Pros: Great zippers!, plenty of room, well organized, nice laptop padded cover included. Rolling wheels work well. Nice multi-level handle to be flexible for folks of different height levels. Converts very easily between backpack and rolling modes. Nice wheel cover that velcros easily over the wheels in backpack mode or contains the backpack straps when in rolling mode. Cons: Only complaint is that the wheels sound loud when I roll the bag down the street. I don't know why this is or how it could be mitigated. Maybe the wheels could be made of a different material? Perhaps I have to "break in the wheels". Otherwise, I'm happy with the rolling notebook backpack.

I have used the TagusTargus TSB700 15.4 Rolling Notebook Backpackfor 1 month in my last travel. The bag has a good design and is well built. It is extremely easy to put it into and taken out of the plane's overhead cabin because of the two wheels, for small plane, it can be stored under the seat. The two shoulder straps are wide, so it is comfortable. My only and biggest complain is the wheels are not noisy but very noisy rolling on hard ground. It make me feel very embarrassed to roll it, or I have to walk very slowly. I think the reason is the material of the wheel maybe too hard. I may return it.
