Do a lot a of travelling and you'll soon take back your statement. My fully loaded backpack (laptop and camera gear) weighs around 8-10kg. It is very well padded, but with the alternative of being able to stick everything in a roller bag then it's a no-brainer for me, and it looks more professional.
