Oh, mark, you did ask for the laptop size. My work Lenovo laptop has a 14" screen, (diagnonally). It measures right at 9" by 13" by 5/8". My personal laptop is a 17". Not available to measure at the moment. Paul

Size of lap top?
I LOVE Rok-Straps. Adjustable or Non-adjustable. I carry 3-4 sets of the adjustable.
(A combination of, a Bungee cord (nylon covered, so smooth) and Nylon Straps, with LOOPS. Sizes,.... EXAMPLE- 60" = 18" to 60" 3 things I love about them, Looped end, = NO SLIP.(Carabiner's if you like, for fast removal)
Adjustable like many straps, AND with the constant tension of bungee, so if WHEN the load shifts or settles they stay snug. (as long as fairly close to start with)
Quick snap for leaving straps attached to bike (etc) and remove gear.
I,... LEAVE 1-2 sets strapped over the rear of my seat.

Look into Kriega US10 or so. Will connect to nearly anything, easy to hook/unhook, water proof, very well made. It also comes with a shoulder strap for carrying the bag around. Plus the bag can be used for other moto needs, work, etc..
----------------------------------------------------------
Guys, I am looking for a better way to commute with my laptop and a few file folders. Currently, I am using a laptop bag that I strap to the luggage rack with two cris-crossed bungee cords. More than once, I have arrived at my destination, after ten miles partially over a bumpy asphalt road with one of the bungee cords unhooked. I have since added an inexpensive cargo net over the laptop and bungee cords, but it fits loosely and does little more than capture the bungee cords if they come unhooked. It is also inconvenient to load and unload.
I am leaning toward a tail bag of some sort. Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Paul
