About this bag
Perfect for around campus or around town, the CompuDaypack is a lightweight yet spacious backpack. Its triple compartment design neatly manages the key components of digital photography with a rear compartment for a notebook computer (fits most 17" models) and files, and a lower compartment that accommodates a digital SLR with lens attached (up to a 105mm f/2.8), plus 2-3 additional lenses or flash units. The upper compartment holds personal accessories and cables. Tuck an MP3 player into the quick access front pocket, thread the headphones through the unique headphone port and listen to your favorite music even on the go.
What fits inside
Digital or 35mmSLR, 2-3 lenses (up to a 105mm f/2.8), flash and digital accessories, iPod or similar

A place for the Laptop's AC Adapter would be very good.

I was looking for a bag that would allow me to carry my Canon 1D Mark II with my 15.4" MacBook Pro. I have the Computrekker Plus AW, the mother of all bags next to the Pelican hard cases, that allows me to carry all my gear, but it makes it impractical for when I'm walking to walk daily and riding BART. With the Computrekker, I stand out like a cross between a tourist and a mountain hiker. I also have the Lowepro Slingshot 200 AW which works great for travelling light because I can carry most of all my camera equipment when I need it, but it doesn'tt have a place for my laptop. So searching long and hard and trying to figure out what to get; I looked at Domke, Tarmac, and Crumpler, but in the end it was Lowepro again. I originally wanted a messenger bag, but those have been next to impossible to find that would take a laptop, the 1D, and be small at the same time. Fortunately the Lowepro CompuDaypack was the best comprise. I have been very happy with all the Lowepro line so far. The build quality is very good for the price. I know the Lowepro CompuDaypack isn't intended to carry a professional level camera and you have to get very creative to make it work, but it's well worth it. It's ~30% smaller than my Computrekker Plus and only ~15% larger than the Slingshot. Because the weight is better distributed than the slingshot, it's more comfortable to wear. I store the 1D Mark II with the 24-70mm attached with the hood attached forward. I don't use any of the dividers because they won't work with this configuration. The only issue with storing the camera this way is that the weight isn't very well distributed; one side is heavier than the other. Also when you close the camera portion of the bag, part of it sticks out. If you detach the lens and the 1D, everything fits perfectly; only it's not ready for quick shots. I prefer to always be ready and suffer a little than to miss a shot preparing. I only bring the 70-200mm with me when I know I'll need it, so I just put it in the big front pouch. It's got enough padding to keep it from banging up the camera below. I keep the spare battery EP-N3 in the front small pouch that is intended for an iPod, quick access. So far I'm very happy with it.
What works
A good "in-between" size camera/laptop bag, not immediately apparent it`s a camera bag, able to fit my 1D
Room for improvement
Where the camera part goes seems a bit...scary...if you don't fully zip it up or somehow it comes loose, I can only imagine all the gear coming crashing out, not very easy to access camera equipment
