Size wise, I wouldn't recommend it for more than a 13" laptop or netbook. My 15" Thinkpad fits inside without difficulty, but its width limits the usability of the side pockets. Also, the top handle broke after just a few days. It will take some time to get a warranty replacement due to APAC stock issues. On the plus side, it's comfortable and very compact.

I like how that sounds, super slim sling! Looks eminently useable, more so than my previous favourite, the Lowepro Classified (shoulder or new sling series). Lowepro wins on colour, as the sepia versions look great imho. This is the 3N1 20. The 3N1 11 is smaller all round and has the advantage of a specific pocket for the guy's netbook: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOxwmvBPemM The 3N1 11 is a super slim sling.

One of them can hold my MacBook, DSLR, 4 lenses and space to spare - but fully loaded, it's just too heavy for me to walk around with on anything other than a "when I specifically think I will need everything" basis and even then, I'm thinking about using a trolley for it.

I like the big one that takes a 17" macbook pro and has a front compartment for a dSLR. That could replace my current el-cheapo one for travel. Bag I've just come across that I think I'll be getting is the KATA 3N1 11 (same as the more widely available 3N1 10, but with the addition of a netbook compartment). Nice bags.
