What size laptop? I have a 17" Powerbook, and there aren't as many choices.

A 13" macbook. Something simple, but not pricey.

I have an old lowepro mini trecker, the front pocket holds my 15 inch laptop nicely. When I got it that is not what it was for (I don't think laptops were even taken into consideration in a camera bag at that time) and there for it is not padded, but it has worked out fine for me, I am just careful. It probably comes padded now.

They make the same backpack with a padded computer compartment now - the Computrekker.

I have a Lowepro CompuDayPack and it's great! It holds my 15' Macbook & power supply no problem, but there isn't a lot of storage in the laptop compartment for more than that. The top front section holds keys, wallet, cell phone, memory cards, film, filters, batteries, SB800 and lightsphere. It gets a little jumbled sometimes though! The bottom "camera" part stores two bodies (D80 and F80), 100-300mm, 50mm, 18mm and 35-80mm. Runs about $90, I think. It doesn't have a space for a tripod, but it might be possible to bungee-cord one to the top carry handle (never tried it).

The Computrekker is shaweet! The only thing is when you load it with the laptop it wont fit in the overhead bin on aircraft. I learned the hard way on a wedding assignment in Atlanta two weeks ago. Very nice bag though it has wheels and coverts quickly two a backpack.

My question would be, do you want to look like a photographer with lots of gear?
A lot of times, if I am just carrying what you are talking about I use a Jansen book bag. Like the kids use for school. What that doesn't handle is a tripod... This way, you don't show the world you are carrying $10,000 in gear.
With that said, I do have a TENBA bag that is great. It is all black and doesn't saw LowePro. I toured through Europe with it and didn't get bothered.

I have a Tamrac Adventure 9
(Website Here) which is really great for what I need. The specs say it will hold a 17" MacBook Pro so this should be more than enough to hold your MacBook.
I used to carry around a 14" iBook (before it crapped out) and it was fine. Perfect bag for a carry-on if you fly a lot. It can get a little heavy at times but it's worth it.
Good luck!

I am looking for something along the lines of the canon 200eg that can hold a laptop. I don't want anything too bulky because i only have few lenses, camera body, and few other tiny accessories.
