Has anyone used LowePro CompuRover AW backpack ?
clicky
If so is it any good ? I'm looking for a laptop/camera backpack and it looks quite good and seems to fit my needs. Just havent seen any reviews on it.
Cheers

Looks pretty much like my old Rover AW but with additional compartment for a laptop. Rover AW is quite good but getting quite heavy fully loaded and with tripod attached. You have to make sure you've got physical abilities to carry additional load of CompuRover

It looks to be very similar to the Crumpler Farmers Double which I have. It fits my D70 with 18-70 attached, 50mm, 70-300mm, SB600, air rocket and sundries in the camera compartment.
In the top I can get my 15" laptop, 2 litres of water, food, etc etc.
It doesn't have a tripod attachment unfortunately but it is a very wel constructed bag and fits my purposes. You might want to check it out? I got mine I think for about $160.

I have the CompuTrekker AW which is just a Mini Trekker with a padded compartment for your laptop. I have found it to be excellent. I would agree with Hlop though, when fully loaded with Laptop and tripod it can be quite heavy. The shoulder straps and padding are all very comfortable and hug you in the right places.
Hope this helps

I think you mean it's similiar to the Rover AW.
the mini-trekker is a different beast alltogether.

Hi Marc
Yep you are right the Mini Trekker is not the same a Rover AW
I was just suggesting that resnikov take a look at the CompuTrekker which I use, it is basically a MiniTrekker with a computer pouch. The CompuTrekker has all the good attributes of the MiniTrekker and can carry a laptop as well.
Sorry for any confusion
