Summary: Great
Comment: I recently purchased this bag to use for flying and can say that it's great! Very easy to navigate with through the airport and big enough to fit all the essential gear. I would definitely recommend this to anyone considering a bag for serious use.

Summary: Finallly! I have enough room for my stuff
Comment: I've been limping along using the same bag I've used for the last 20 or so years.
When I replaced my antique Minolta 35mm with a D80 last year, it was apparent I'd need to get a new bag as well.
Now that I have a DSLR, a couple of extra lenses and a flash, I needed somewhere to put it all. I also needed a way to carry my 17" MacBook Pro.
After doing a LOT of research, I settled on this bag. It has room for everything I have plus room for more. I plan on adding at least one more flash and one more camera body in the next year and the Computrekker will accomodate them without any worries.
The shoulder straps are comfortable and very adjustable. I'm very impressed with the construction too. The weather cover is also a nice touch. It does a great job of keeping the bag protected in bad weather. It was a bit challenging to find at first, but it tucks out of the way and is easy to deploy quickly when needed.

Summary: Great bag for just about everything!!
Comment: Lowepro CompuTrekker Plus AW Camera Backpack (Black)
I was looking for a bag that would hold it all and this bag has lived up to it. I have had it for a few months and it has held up very well. The cost was lower than that of other equal bags and its simple color and design help keep people from noticing the bag. It has a pocket for every thing in the front section from pen folders, business card holder, key fob, etc. I am 6'5" 250LBS so the weight of the bag is not an issue, although when I took it out of the box I was like wow this is big. If you are a small person with a weak back get something with wheels.

Summary: Bigger isn't always best
Comment: With all the restrictions on airlines I purchased this bag to be able to transport both my 17" Macbook Pro and Nikon D80 with lenses and accessories in one bag while flying. As described, the Lowepro Computrekker Plus AW Camera Backpack held everything with plenty of additional space but did not, as described, fit easily under the airplane seat or even into the overhead compartment on a smaller jet. This is just a word of warning to fellow photo-vacation travelers.
I appreciate that the boring-looking bag doesn't exclaim "I'm holding expensive gear!" but it is pretty heavy when full. Assuming you won't go out from your hotel carrying everything, you will need a smaller bag to tote just camera equipment on excursions.
After this past trip I will rarely choose to use this bag: too much hassle.

Summary: A great bag that could be even better
Comment: This is my first larger capacity camera bag I have purchased rather than making one out of a typical backpack and some DIY adjustments. I really like the internal options of this bag and can get quite a bit of gear in a variety of layouts. My only beef is a lack of external pockets along the sides. I can understand the front being a bit bare due to the ability to mount your tripod/monopod, but the sides would be nice for storing additional batteries & such. Also, the computer compartment is definitely large enough for my MacBook Pro 17", though it is pretty snug on it front to back. I worry a bit of how much pressure it is squeezing it with.
