Default What Camera bag do you travel with?

It looks like I'm going to be passing through a lot of airports this year. I've been travelling with my 15" laptop, iPad and Nikon D7000 with 5 lenses. I normally carry my camera around in a Lowepro flipside AW400, but I find that slightly awkward to use because I can't get to the bottom of the case easily, and there's no space for a laptop.

My work laptop bag has broken and they've agreed to pay for anotherone, given the amount I travel, so I'm looking for something that is a camera bag that also fits a laptop. I prefer rucksacks because I tend to go "All Terrain" when photographing.

I came accross a Caselogic SLR-106 which appears to tick all the boxes, but I'd like your opinion, on this or any other case that could compete.. Since I'm not paying, the price isn't relevant.

don't know about caselogic but I've just bought the Lowepro Pro Runner 350 AW DSLR Backpack which solved all of my problems including the laptop and my backup camera.
I don't know how much camera space you need on the go but it holds almost everything!

This, or the 450 (if you have a full-body dSLR or a grip)

Went to a vintage shop today and saw a cool, old vintage, brown leather Pentax camera bag that gave me nostalgia when I saw it (reminded me the ones that my dad used to carry around when I was very young). I wish they still made them!

Now you're making me think about going back to that shop and spending money on it that I shouldn't be spending........

Darn it.

Nice thing is that when empty, it packs away very compactly.

Sorry, couldn't resist.
