Bodies will be in photo vest, but the long lenses just don't fit well for airplane travel. -Amber

However, the bags advertised for laptops are much larger than needed for a netbook. Hoping someone can guide me to specific models which might be the proverbial "just right." -Amber

monk3y Totally Saturated  More info | Jun 27, 2011 01:48 | #4 how small are those netbooks? 10"? The back compartment Unfortunately one of the things that the bag doesn’t have is a compartment for laptops. There is enough room for possibly an iPad or a netbook computer, but my 13” laptop was far too large to fit inside. This is annoying at times when I want to have my laptop with me, but I figure keeping it at home helps me focus on what matters the most when I am on the streets–which is shooting. http://erickimphotography.com …-retrospective-30-review/

I say check out those TT Retrospective, I just pulled the trigger on a Retro 30, I know it won't fit a laptop in there but according to most reviews it would fit an Ipad on the back pocket... so if a netbook is somewhere around 10" then I assume it would fit in there. I will receive my bag tomorrow  here's a good review of the bag (no mention of any kind of netbooks or ipad though) https://photography-on-the.net …ighlight=retrospective+30 This particular netbook is 10 1/4" x 7 1/2" x 1 1/2". Look forward to hearing how you like your bag when you get it! -Amber

Spoke with ThinkTank today, and they didn't recommend the Retro, as they thought the 20 was a bit more than I needed and the 10 too small for the netbook. Instead, they suggested the Urban Disguise 35 2.0 which I have to say does look almost custom-designed for this purpose. I prefer the styling on the Retro, but function does trump all. -Amber

Appreciate you taking the time to come back, take and post the pics and confirm what the CSR indicated to me this afternoon. I trusted him, but trust POTN and pics even more  He had no reason to steer me wrong, but sometimes official reps can be conservative in what they'll say works or not.Enjoy the bag and happy shooting! Thanks, yes it is a nice looking bag, and well I now officialy own 3 green bags

I never believed people when they said workmanship is top notch, but it really is solid bag!!I've long admired TT bags, just never found one suiting the exact purpose I was seeking at a given time. Methinks purpose and timing are coming together in this instance! -Amber
