Josh -

I discovered this last year . The Osprey Transit .

http://www.ospreypacks.com/Packs/DaytoolPacks/Transit/

1700 cu. in. and it will fit up to a 17" screen laptop .
My Dell 2650 with a 15.4" screen fits comfortably , As well as all of my
gear .
It turned my " daily carry " from two bags to one .
It is the perfect solution for me ..

There is a smaller one also . The Osprey Tourqe .

1200 cu. in. and it fits most 15.4" laptops .
