In particular, I'd say this thing looks quite appealing:

There is not only lots of photos but also some video showcasing that bag...
Would love to try one of those.

I got this cheapo thing as a present:

If you really travel with it, you might want to get a suitcase with wheels. A laptop, interface, controller and cables can weigh too much for having it on your back!

Bit of an older post, but I saw no resolution so thought I would chime in.
I have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Products- ... s+backpack
It will fit two 17" MBP in the laptop compartment and a Push in the 'main' compartment (and a laptop in there if you really wanted it to). I don't know if two typical PC laptops will fit in the laptop compartment, likely not.
It has mesh water bottle pockets on the outside, a "boarding pass wallet" on the spine, a pocket at the lower back for your passport and other valuables, and then the "front gadget pocket" has a ton of organizational pockets. I keep my audio interface in one (an RME Babyface fits perfectly in one of the larger ones) along with two digital cameras, my headphones, some earbuds, it has a usb drive pocket I keep a dongle in, plus pockets for pens, cables, batteries... it's incredibly versatile and organized. And then you stuff a hoody into the external expanding pocket.
I love this thing.
I've had the Power Pack 2.0 for almost a year, and I had the smaller 'Glide' version for a year. The Glide looks brand new after several trips to Europe and back. The one I linked, the Power Pack 2.0, I use every single day.
May get a bit heavy carrying around two laptops and Push. That's nearly 20lbs in something with no frame. Though I've carried around that much and it's okay as long as you aren't planning to hike for several hours.

I bought this one from a Korean company called SevenT7 -
http://sevent7us.com/m/post/view/id/52
I'm hoping it will fit the Push in the main laptop sleeve.
It has this funny modular setup where u can basically cruise around with an iPad on your back.
But inside, I also fit an 11" MacBook Air in the sleeve where they put the iPad. Fits well another small device, cables, some lunch, headphones etc.
Really like it.

Personally, i think if you transport two Laptops and Push, you should save your expensive equipment
and a Peli Case is the only way to go.

Just got
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007GN ... UTF8&psc=1
Can just fit my 14" Lenovo, Push, Audio Kontrol 1, and folding senns case in it with cables. Is definitely a tight fit, wouldn't recommend it, but still fits everything so I'll probably keep it...hopefully helps someone along the way....

Bump
Push 2 is slightly bigger... might not be a concern for many but where your dimensions are super tight it could bulge over.
I posted earlier in this thread that I got this backpack :
http://www.amazon.com/MiseMet-SEVENt7-L ... B004QIHUY6
I can report back that it definately does the job.
Granted, Push isn't super protected, it's not ultra-padded, but if you don't just throw your backpack around you'll be fine.
I'm actually thinking of buying another as the one I have is getting old. Would go for the black one this time.
But I really like this backpack because it is so lightweight. And it is also a super slim profile meaning you can only fit so much stuff. You can easy fit a Push, Mac Laptop of any size and an iPad no probs, and the necessary cables, but thats about it. Headphones around your neck probably. And I'm happy with that tbh.
Did some measurements before and Push 2 should fit fine.
