Why not look at a messenger bag? - there are plenty on the market that would work. ...it depends upon your specific needs. If you don't go the messenger bag route, check out Tom Bihn - they have a number of bags that would accommodate your 13" MB Pro. The Synapse - although technically not a laptop backpack - would hold your MB and is available in black. The bottom of that bag is not padded, however, so I'd put some foam in it for protection. Or, check out the Ristretto, which IS a laptop bag suited to your specific machine: http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/300/TB0223 JM,

I don't have any concept of cubic inches or liters for bag size. Since you said the camera and netbook fit with room left over, I checked the specs on my North Face backpack again, they say 2015 cu. in./33L, which I now realize is totally wrong. The specs of my suitcase say 1950 cu. in./32L, and the backpack is no where near the size of my suitcase. So I think I'll get this backpack. I'm planning a trip to Thailand, Cambodia and/or Laos.

How long is the 18-200mm lens? Jon,
