If you're going to go into town, you could also collect your bags, take them with you into town on the Airport Express, check them in at one of the in-town check in places (Hong Kong or Kowloon stations), then go to wherever you want to go in town. That means that you only have to get back to the airport in time to clear security and immigration and go to the gate, with no further margin needed for complying with bag drop deadlines.
