    Little bit random but, I'm looking to buy a new bag for work but I'm struggling to find anything suitable.

    It has to be
    • Big enough to hold a few A4 folders.
    • Enough pockets for stationary/and all the other nik naks I carry.
    • Space for a camera would be nice (Sony nex5n).
    • Space for my tablet PC (Motion J3600).
    • Space for a Keyboard and Mouse.
    • Space for various books/manuals etc...

    Its a lot to cart around and at the moment it's all in a large plastic box, which is a pita to carry around.

    The only thing I've found that seems to cover all the bases are Large Pro camera bags of which the Tamrac Ultra Pro 11 or 13 seem the most suitable, with space for the tablet and plenty of space for everything else in the main compartment with some adjustment of the interior dividers.

    Does anybody know of any others I should be looking at with a budget of around £150?

    I'd have a look at the LowePro and Kata camera bag ranges. I've had both, and all have been excellent, sturdy bags even when chock-full of kit.

    I use a lowepro compuday photo 250.it can carry a camera, laptop/tablet and has plenty of space for stationary. The only thing might give it problems is the keyboard. Is the keyboard full size?

    Theres is also the 150 version which is a messenger bag

    Heres a link: http://www.lowepro.com/compudayphoto

    I'm looking at getting a poker or similar keyboard so won't take up loads of space, it's not often I have to use it but typing using the pen and on screen Keyboard is rubbish and the keyboard for the tablet is useless!

    Lowepro don't seem to do anything that has enough internal space, the tablet is a bit of a beast, and adding a couple of full A4 ring binders rules them out. The kata Resource-64 PL looks like another worth looking at, if a little over budget.

    EDIT: Didn't search hard enough, The Lowepro Magnum 200 or 400 AW also look good.
