Targus Essential Plus 15.6in Laptop Backpack | Padded Business Bag
You don't need a dozen specialty compartments — you need one dependable bag that protects your laptop every single day.
The Targus Essential Plus pairs a padded 15.6in laptop sleeve with a water-resistant base, organized pockets, and a self-standing design, from a brand that's been building laptop bags since before "laptop bag" was a category.
One Dependable Bag for Class or the Office
The padded compartment fits laptops up to 15.6 inches, protected by a water-resistant bottom panel that guards against ground moisture. A large front pocket organizes chargers, cables, and small accessories, while two side pockets hold water bottles, and adjustable padded shoulder straps plus a top carry handle and self-standing base round out the everyday practicality.
It's built for students and young professionals who want one reliable bag for commuting, class, or the office — not a bag with features you'll never touch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this bag fully waterproof?
The base is water-resistant, which protects against ground moisture and light rain, but the bag is not designed for submersion.
Does it fit under an airline seat?
Its standard 15.6in backpack dimensions fit under most economy airline seats, though it's best to check your specific carrier's size limits.
Is there a dedicated tablet pocket?
The front organizer pocket can hold a tablet along with cables and small accessories, though it is not a padded, dedicated tablet sleeve.
What's the difference between this and other Targus backpacks?
The Essential Plus line is Targus's everyday, value-focused backpack — a padded 15.6in sleeve, water-resistant base, and basic organization, without the extra business-travel features (like dedicated tech organizers or trolley straps) found on Targus's higher-tier bags.
