Bad zipper stitching

I purchased this bag a week prior to my scheduled travels. Just alone actually loading the bag as my carry on. Granted I did inspect the bag and the zippers prior to my purchase, all seemed well. I did not overload my bag by no means. But yet the stitching for the outside top pocket had already began to fail me.
Impressive backpack, I hope Targus will redo the small bag, or, is my hand too big... Well, whatever it may be, in the meantime I'll give them only 4 stars, once they improve this product they will have 5 stars of excellence.
My husband purchased the Drifter II for me to use for my real estate business. Love all the separate pockets, but not very durable. Within 6 months of purchase, the backpack separated from the laptop pouch zipper for approximately 8 inches. Very disappointed because I like all the pockets, makes it easy for me to organize my files, laptop and personal items. If this was made in leather, would be much more durable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've owned a Drifter Laptop Bag for the last 13 years; it's traveled over three continents with me through tens of thousands of miles on the road and on a plane. It truly lives up to its name; I only purchased a second one so that my child can have the same laptop protection as I have, and I'm almost positive I will hand my original down to one of my future grandkids.
Getting my 3rd bag in 6 years - I over use and stuff them. I pack them with 20 to 30 lbs of gear for daily use. It also has ample room for when I travel. No other bag lasts as long and has the convenient pockets or space. It's a bag you'll use every day for school, work, or take it hiking.
