Carry-on Baggage/Hand Carry on Qatar Airways
I know that there is an allowance of 7 kg, 1 piece for hand carries.
However, if I am carrying a a Laptop or a Camera (with Accessories), are these to be weighed against the 7kg allowance?
Or is it possible to carry a camera/laptop plus the 7kg hand carry allowance?

I've emailed the same questions TWICE to QA but got this response on both occasions. Does anybody in QA actually know how to read!!??
Thank you for your email regarding excess baggage allowance.
The excess baggage allowance is offered to Burgundy, Silver and Gold members. Burgundy members are entitled to an extra 10 kgs, Silver members are entitled to an extra 15kgs and Gold members are entitled to an extra 20kgs when travelling on all Qatar Airways flights, except to/from the USA where no excess baggage allowance is provided.
On flights to/from the USA, the piece concept applies with passengers entitled to two pieces of checked baggage, each not exceeding 23kgs.
You must earn 50 Qpoints per calendar year to qualify for Burgundy membership, 150 Qpoints for Silver membership and 300 Qpoints for Gold membership.
For any further information regarding baggage allowance we would appreciate, if you could please contact your travel agent or your local Qatar Airways reservation office.

I am travelling shortly with Lufthansa, but they use Qatar airways from here. I have it in writing that the limit is - 7kg hand baggage PLUS laptop PLUS ladies handbag.

Oh, yes, they do mind, Arien! I was 2 kgs over on my baggage allowance for my two checked bags and they made me take that amount out of my checked luggage and put it in my carry-on. THEN they wanted to weigh my carry-on and insisted it be under 7 kg (it was)! I protested that as a privilege club member I got extra weight and they informed me I wasn't a high enough "color." As a BA gold club member I found the whole thing somewhat annoying.

The weight of the Laptop is not included in your cabin baggage. Plain and simple.
I do carry my laptop and cabin baggage along with me.
You can carry laptop, camera ..etc which wont be weighed and included as handbaggage.
The bag you carry to the cabin shouldnt weight more than 7kg. well up to 10 kg they wudnt mind.

Laptos are generally excluded from your allowance.
My camera bag has a laptop pocket and weighs in at around 15kg!
