| Camera/Laptop backpack on sale anywhere in GVR?
I'm heading to China/Taiwan again for a business trip and I have to carry my camera and a 17" Macbook Pro with me this time around.
So, I'm looking for a good backpack that can fit both.
Any good suggestion where to buy one for relatively good price? (100~150?) I have my eyes on a Crumpler Karachi Outpost, but it's freaking expensive in stores that carry it. And I don't want to spend all that much because I probably won't be carrying the 17 MBP with the exception of this trip.
TIA for any comments.

i bought a targus one from futureshop (or best buy they both sell it) and it has a nice slot for your laptop in the back and the camera fits snug in the front protected by all the soft material inside...i went further to pull dividers from the gopro sling so i made a little cabinet as the velcro sticks to the soft material in the bag
i bought mine for $45 tax in

I like the Dakine Mission Photo or Sequence http://www.dakine.com/kite/bags/photo-packs/sequence/ http://www.dakine.com/ski/packs/photo/mission-photo/
Carries camera, lens laptop and other accessories but i think it sells up to $150 online...
Depends on how you will use the bag after too...like snowboarding etc or keeping it professional?
I'm sure you can find one on 4th somewhere for cheaper or one of those luggage stores 
17" laptop is a little bigger for most bags but i fit my 17" with the corner sticking out lol

Oh, I forgot to mention, I'm leaving town next Tuesday. So, online shopping is out.
As for the look, it could be anything. I was checking Crumpler to give you an idea how I want it to look.

Dakine Sequence gets my vote, if you can find it.
Check out the W4th shops. They usually have some good packs.

The Dakines are really nice.
But none of the Dakine retailers in town seem to carry these. Any ideas?
Thanks for all the comments again!

Thank guys for all the responses.
I ended up picking a mint Karachi Outpost on CL for 130.
