|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Think Tank Streetwalker Hard Drive Question Russ Isabella, Photographer Salt Lake City | UT | USA | Posted: 7:21 PM on 10.18.09 ->> I need a backpack that can carry a bunch of gear plus a 15" Macbook Pro. I've got lots of Think Tank bags, plus their belt system. Everything I've seen and read about the Think Tank Streetwalker Hard Drive leads me to believe it will serve my purposes. My only concern is that the laptop space in the bag is at the back, between the shoulder straps and the main compartment. So in effect, the laptop would be against my back, and I'm wondering if this will put undue stress on the laptop (bag full of gear, weighty, pressed up against the laptop pressed up against my back). I'm fairly confident Think Tank wouldn't design such a problem into one of their bags, but would like to hear from any of you who might own this bag whether my concern is founded. (I have sent an email to Think Tank asking about this, but haven't yet heard anything from them so thought I'd throw this out to the SS message board.) Thanks in advance. --Russ  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

It's never been a problem. Max  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

I've traveled from Madison, WI to Sri Lanka and around Duluth, MN and each time the laptop came out perfectly fine.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

If I really load up the Hard Drive, I usually attach the Pro Belt to distribute some of the load. My pack has topped 30 lbs some days and the laptop(s) are fine.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
