Interestingly, I started to think all about this right after I got DFA* 70-200 battleship lens. Honestly, I was thinking the same, that it's nice to have additional space for laptop but in reality, you also carry a lot of things related to laptop, not only the laptop itself but just huge amount of other accessories. My P53 power brick alone is almost as big as the laptop, so I'm travelling with additional bag for laptop. Of course there are thinner ones but anyway Going back to its purpose, I don't know anybody who is post processing his images in the field, say in mountains somewhere, maybe in a hotel where you carry all of your bags anyway.

Is it a slingbag or backpack?

I remember how I spent days, weeks searching for good backpack and end up with something that is just collecting dust in my room.
