Targus was founded back in 1983 by Neil Bruce-Copp in Barnes, London, after he invented the world’s first personal computer carrying case and secured orders from IBM and ICL to fund Targus Group.

Wrapping Things Up

The Targus Newport Drawstring Backpack is a great bag for anyone that commutes for work and does not pack much. While using this bag, I did have some issues with the sizing of the bag due to the nature of my work. I work out in the field and require many tools to perform my job functions.

In addition, I usually pack my lunch and was unable to fit some of my belongings in it. The style of this bag isn’t my taste, it’s a bit on the new age modern end and my style aligns more with the Herschel brand. Overall, it is a good bag for carrying a laptop and notebook with a few other smaller items than something you would bring on a trip.
