Review on Targus CityLite Backpack Compact TSB938GL by Rachel Coppedge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

High-quality, high-tech backpack at a relatively lower price than other competitors

I still liked this backpack. I know that there are different backpack models, so I want to clarify what the CityLite Pro Secure Compact Backpack got. This backpack is ideal for those who primarily want to carry a sub-15.6 inch laptop and maybe a few laptops, but probably not the best option for those who want to carry a lot more. This backpack is great for everyday use because it's lightweight, durable and unlike other backpacks, it doesn't cause back pain. One of my favorite features of this backpack is that it was designed to stand on its own without leaning against anything, which is impressive given that the backpack's laptop compartment is on the back of the main compartment that would normally lead to fall. This backpack also features padded shoulder straps and buckle for user comfort when carrying. Another interesting feature of this backpack is the "panic whistle” built into the chest strap. This whistle definitely works! My only criticism of this backpack is the size of the zippered pocket on the back. This Revain post for this product advertises that you can fit your phone in it, which is true, but my regular sized phone (Google Pixel 3) barely fits in this case. I can't imagine a Google Pixel 3 XL or an Apple iPhone 8s fitting in this case. There is definitely room in the bag for this particular bag to be expanded, so maybe this bag could be made bigger in the next version of this bag. Overall I think this is a great backpack with amazing quality features at a reasonable price. If you are looking for a new quality backpack with a minimalist approach I would definitely recommend this bag.
