I've got the tail pack shown in the video. It's very handy but probably the wrong size/shape for a laptop.
Hmmm thanks - I'm annoying and could do with something that sticks out less (for easier filtering on m/ways & in traffic), but fits a laptop. Maybe I'd be better with a tail pack.

Yer... I just don't like things on my back. I mean, I don't INTEND to go sliding down the road, but if I do, I'd rather not have anything to snag. Maybe I'm just paranoid though!

Laptop has SSD drive only, so vibrations not as much as an issue for me as when I had a laptop with a HDD.

They're great for quickly taking off and carrying anywhere with the handles... Which in turn is the disadvantage with them as anyone can do this if you park and leave them unattended! They're not lockable.
That's the sort of thing I was thinking about, but somehow lockable ones. Though I guess fabric ones, all folks would need is a craft knife to steal stuff from them!

Yer, I wondered if that'd be an issue... Wonder if custom exhaust would help? Though then we're getting expensive lol
