I got this to use as a 'toolbox' and it's been perfect. All the main bits of my kit are safely stored in one place, all well organised, well protected and easy to get to.
The build quality is typically Lowepro - very good. The zippers all work freely, everything makes sense and it's been well thought out. The bag is reasonably rigid - the base is solid and the main dividers have plastic strengtheners in them. You could safely stack other bags on top of this one - for example on a luggage trolley.
You can customise the interior just about any way you want to. Even with all the gear in above, I still had a few dividers left over that weren't used. The bag will take a pro-body with a 70-200 f2.8 (or equivalent) fitted, and has a specialised support/divider to suit this configuration, which is a brilliant touch.
Also I've not shown the laptop case which sits over the top. It also has attachments for add-on slip-cases on each side.
Don't expect to sling this over your shoulder and go for a casual stroll. It's a big bag! Fully loaded you'll need a back massage pretty soon - and make sure any doors you go through are wide enough!

I use it to store stuff in, and to get a lot of stuff from A to B, for example on a luggage cart or in a car. If I need to I decant the day's tools into a smaller bag, like a Domke F 803 or a Billingham Hadley.

Overall, a great bit of kit.

Additional Info

  • Description: Lowepro’s Magnum AW shoulder bag is built on the foundation of its predecessor: the original pro bag designed in 1976 and an industry standard to this day. The next generation remains an essential toolbox for the pro photographer: extra-portable, durable and flexible. The internal dividing system provides a flexible structure to accommodate lots of gear—including 2 flexible spacers that create 1-4 cavities for additional gear. A premium molded base offers sturdy and stable protection, water-resistance and stackability. Carry the bag with the Vertebral Tech™ Shoulder Strap: it provides comfort and spreads weight evenly—no matter how it’s worn. The Magnum 650 AW includes a well-padded laptop sleeve (fits up to a 15.4” widescreen laptop) with an integrated sunshade for protection from glare and increased privacy. You can use your laptop with the sunshade at the top of the bag as an impromptu work platform. Additional features include: one-piece foam framing; rain-flap lid; Lowepro’s patented All Weather AW Cover™; oversized locking zippers (lock not included); metal D-rings, swivel hooks and zipper pulls; quick-release buckle on front of bag; quick-access organization pocket; 2 side pockets; 3 SlipLock™ attachment loops; removable accessory pocket; laminated mesh organization pocket and mesh ID pocket on lid; 2 padded hamper handles; centered padded grab handle; trolley sleeve; removable/adjustable handcart straps on
