You didn't mention which size MBP you have. While it's certainly not the cheaper end, but you might find the booq Python Pro interesting. Designed for your notebook and a DSLR. booq products are incredibly well made. I love the Vyper M2 sleeve for my 15" MBP. Best sleeve I've ever seen for a MBP.

Lowepro makes backpacks for SLRs, lenses, and notebooks.........

..............so does Tamrac..........

They both actually have other bags for both camera+computer, but i think the backpack is the most popular...........

Ditto on the Crumpler, best damn bags for such things. The Lowepro Stealth Reporter is a pretty nice one as well. I highly recommend hitting a good camera store and trying a few out. Finding the "right" bag for you can be tough. I always have minor complaints, things I'd like changed with mine and I know I'm not alone.
I'll back up Crumpler.
I've got the Part and Parcel, which holds my MBP, camera, and a few lenses with ease. It's padded all the way around, with a perfectly fitting pocket for the MBP.
I don't think it really qualifies as being on the cheaper end of things though...

I've been very happy with a Kata

very rugged bag.
^^Haha yeah...too bad my 12" powerbook is on the way out!
Wow some of these bags are crazy!
I was going for a more minimalist look. Just wanted a low key bag for my 15" MBP and D40 with just the stock lens and perhaps chargers. Just starting out in this high tech world! 😉
Since I have a 12" thinkpad, I was thinking I might just use my normal backpack and sleeve for that computer as well as the d40 (I have one of those inserts from another bag). I found a brenthaven Edge II bag on ebay for $35...is this a good deal?

i use this one
http://www.caselogic.com/case_logic/slr_computer_backpack/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=57080
i like it
not a lot of space for wires, but the power adapter rolls up nicely and fits in one of the side pockets

Oh man squeeks. That is a nice BP! But all those compartments are lost on me since I plan to only carry my MBP and my D40 with stock lens...I am a beginner!!
What do you guys think of this bag? Just for the mbp and d40 and perhaps the chargers. Seems low profile and small enough for me..I am a 5ft tall asian girl. Haha.

I'm gonna throw in another recommendation for Crumpler. And if you are in the NY area, they regularly do a summertime "beer for bags" promotion. Sweet.
