Check out F-Stop Gear, http://www.fstopgear.c​om/ (external link), they offer excellent products geared toward those photographers that find themselves wondering off the beaten path. I have their new Satori backpack and it is the best adventure/hiking bag I have used. Check them out.

Check out the Fastpack 250, I believe it can carry a laptop of that size (as well as the 350)

I'm not exactly sure what those "3-4 lenses" consist of, but I love my Think Tank Hard Drive. It's got a pocket specifically for a laptop up to 17", my 1D2 w/ 24-70 attached, 70-200 2.8, and plenty of room to spread things out.

Put your laptop in the checked luggage and get the ThinkTank Rotation 360 (external link). You can access it without taking it off. Schlepping the laptop in a backpack makes it very heavy, and you should leave it in the hotel room.

The 360's definitely a great way to go if you don't ever plan on taking your laptop. Either way, I'd recommend anything Think Tank. It just sounds like he's going to be lugging around a whole bunch of stuff anyways, lol.
