Photo/Laptop Backpack Recommendations

I am looking for a backpack that will hold a 14" laptop along with an adequate arsenal of m4/3 gear (G1 and/or GF1 with 3-4 lenses, and flash). It would be primarily for traveling, so I don't have to carry both a camera bag and a computer case separately. I don't want a bag that is too big.

I have been looking through the offerings of Tenba, Lowepro, Tamrac, Kata, etc. Ideally, I would prefer a product that is made in the US.

Any suggestions?

I recommend Crumpler. I don't have one for m43 but I have a full photo one for my DSLR kit. Can take a lot of weight and is very comfortable.

I recently got the ThinkTank shape shifter backpack. The interesting thing about the shape shifter is its expandability and more importantly slim down. You need to have a look at it to see how it works but, I found with my m4/3 gear I could use the backpack in the collapsed position which made it very streamlined and small. Best to have a look at it because it is definiltely made differently and I'm sure some people would not like it.

Ron.....I am a huge fan of my KATA bag.....the DR-467.

I have had it for three years and it's pretty bulletproof. Fits my 15"MBP...in a nice padded sleeve, has a central compartment for a light jacket and water bottle....the bottom compartment easily holds my E-P2 and lens....plus four other lenses.

Here is a video (not mine) to show:
