This is a great bag! I had looked for a long time for a bag that fit a medium-sized SLR and my laptop in one package, and this is it.
The only cons I could find: A) The laptop compartment is sized for 15" laptops, which is too small for many modern laptops, and B) It's not a rolling bag, so when it's full of gear it's really heavy on the shoulder when trudging through the airport.
I'd recommend this bag to anyone who is looking for a small, tough, combo bag with lots of features at a great price.

The bag is great plenty of pockets. Seems to protect my camera fine. Not the bag if you want something small.

A perfect road warrior's photo bag. I love photography and it's always a hassle trying to bring my gear with me on business trips.
This is a great bag if you have a small laptop, mine has a 12" screen, and you don't carry a lot of paper files around in your briefcase. I travel a lot on business and it's a a perfect solution for me. In addition, it's relatively inexpensive and appears to be well-made.
I just packed it up with the following items. It's really full, but everything fits neatly.
Photo Gear:
Nikon D70
Nikon N80
Sigma 12-24 (the big full frame version)
Tamron 24-135
Nikkor 50 1.8
Nikkor 28 2.8
Spare D70 battery, CF Card, filters
Business Gear:
Dell X1 Laptop (mini - 12" screen)
Power cord, connector cables, and accessories
2 small bound diaries for note taking
1" of papers in a folder
3 magazines
Stack of business cards
Pens
Other Stuff:
Travel pouch (small)
Sunglasses (large case)
A neat feature is the nylon strap on the back that is designed to attach the briefase securely onto the handle of a roller bag. My only gripe was the 3/4" high Adorama logo stitched onto the side of the bag in white thread. A quick visit with a black Sharpie marker took care of that.
This bag is definitely worth considering if you are a road warrior that loves photography.

This is one of the better briefcases for the traveling photographer I've used. There's plenty of pockets for gadgets. I also like the easy access water bottle holder. The fixed strap on the other side can be used to attach a standard LowePro lens case (I use a smaller one for my flash. There's room for a non-pro camera body with attached non-pro lens. There are two other pockets that will either fit gadgets or smaller lenses. The front fold-out pocket contains a myriad of smaller pockets for gadgets or office/biz stuff.
Disadvantages to note: this case will not fit laptops wider than 13 inches and you can't fit file folders into the "paper" pocket very well. Up to a half-inch of letter-size papers will fit OK.

I was really disappointed with this bag. It looked good in the pictures, but the pic that shows the laptop sticking out of the pocket is not just a demonstration -- that's how far my laptop sticks out of the pocket. I can't put it all the way into the bag! If you're looking for a bag to hold your laptop and camera for air travel, look somewhere else!!
