Looking for Camera/Laptop Bag

Most of you know that I travel a lot. When I'm on the road I carry my laptop and various gadgets, but in the new year I want to do a better job of bringing my digital SLR along with me for photographs because I get such better quality out of that than any of the smaller cameras I usually tote along.  (Yes, truth by told I just don't like having the little camera when I sit next to the Big Ones held by guys like David Parmet and Josh Hallett).

The problem is my laptop bag doesn't hold the D-SLR well, so I need something better.  Key requirements are that it must be able to hold my MacBook Pro (15") along with my Canon EOS 30D with a 70-200 lens and a spare lens or two.  Of course, it needs to be suitable for airline carryon since I find myself in an airport most weeks of the year.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure how big your lenses are, but the Swissgear bag I use for conferences holds both of my laptops as well as my two cameras and other gadgets.

The big downside is that it looks kind of like a swiss army knife turned into a bag.

Chip I carry around the LowePro CompuRover AW, but it is kinda big. The other option I am considering is the LowePro Vertex 100 or 200. Each of those has a padded pocket for a laptop.

The CompuRover puts more emphasis on the 'other' gear, while the Vertex bags focus on the photo gear. However, it looks like the extra padded areas in the Vertex bags would be great for a small video camera or other gadgets.

Let me know what you end up buying.
