[color=66ff00]Tsk, you need to think about it from an alternative angle:

Get 1 laptop bag
Get 4 ravenous ferrets
Place ferrets in laptop bag
Get mugged only putting up token resistance.
Walk away in the satisfaction that you have unleashed you're own brand of rodent based vigliante-ism.

I've got my laptop in a laptop bag, inside a backpack. I use it all the time at school, so it gets 5 return trips on a bike a week, plus packed+unpacked 7 to 8 times a day. It's suffered, killing 3 TFT's in 2 years, a PCMCIA bay, one HD, and slight damage to the keyboard.

They say it's just my specific laptop, not the model or what I do with it, though. I really, really want one of those packs that are built to sit on. Seriously, there are backpacks with a laptop compartment, strong enough to sit on while the laptop is inside.
