  Best universal travel adapters: Compare picks from Epicka, Targus, and more

In terms of choosing between the two, I fully expected to prefer the HyperPack Pro to carry all of my devices and my camera gear. It is easily the most innovative, tech-forward laptop bag I have ever come across and I understand why it won a CES 2023 Innovation Award. Surprisingly, I ended up slightly preferring the Targus Cypress Hero for its wearable comfort, well-balanced design when setting it on the ground, and well-thought-out pocket and compartment placement.

ZDNET's buying advice

Which one should you buy? If you are deep in the Apple ecosystem, are highly conscious of security and safety, and are a creator, an IT pro, or someone who carries a ton of tech gear when you travel, then the HyperPack Pro is likely the bag you didn't know you needed. Just make sure to add those extra shoulder pads. 

If you want a sturdy, practical, comfortable backpack that is eco-friendly and trackable through the Apple Find My network, then you will be extremely happy with the Targus Cypress Hero. Also, if you're an Android user and have no use for the Apple tech, then you can get the non-Find-My version of the Cypress Hero for $100.
