A rack bag for laptops

[Jack Brunk]

I'm bidding on a 29er mountain/ town bike that has a rear rack. Does anyone make a bag that will handle a laptop? I would commute if I could carry my laptop with me. If there is one, hopefully it was designed with special padding to protect it from bumps weather etc.

Thanks

Thats a nice case. Can you then use side bags along with the case? Forgive me if there's another term instead of bag.

You can give them a call over at RELoadbags.com, they make custom computer sleeves, and their bags are well padded and waterproof. I'm sure they could design you a bag based on your needs.

Google for pannier +laptop and find a bunch of products and multiple discussions on the subject.

I've always been happy with Arkel stuff. Very Durable

Thanks everyone for your responses. It looks like there's plenty of options available.

Depends on the rack, a Tubus Logo will take panniers and the Office bag at the same time.

That is the type of rack on the frame.

Okay, I won the bike. Is there anything else I should worry about having on the bike? I have the Dinotte front and rear lighting system so lghting should be covered. Suggestions welcomed.
