laptops that can survive cycling around in a backpack?

I'd go for as small as possible. Get a pannier or bag with a special laptop pocket and you shouldn't have any problems with new laptops. I use an Acer and I've dropped it and dropped things onto it and it still works ok. So far anyway.
Sure thing! When it comes to laptops that can withstand the rough and tumble of cycling, there are a few things to consider.
First, you'll want to look for a laptop with a solid build quality. Avoid flimsy plastic and opt for something made of sturdy materials like aluminum or magnesium. A rugged exterior will help protect the internal components from getting jostled around too much.
Next, consider getting a laptop with a solid-state drive (SSD) instead of a traditional hard drive. SSDs are faster, more reliable, and less prone to damage from drops and impacts.
As for specific models, I've heard good things about the Dell XPS 13 and the MacBook Air. Both have solid build quality and are available with SSDs. Just keep in mind that neither of them is indestructible, so you'll still want to be careful with them.
And finally, a word of caution: no matter how rugged your laptop is, it's still a delicate piece of electronics. So, even if you're just running errands or commuting, it's a good idea to keep it in a padded backpack or case to protect it from bumps and jolts.
Hope that helps! Happy cycling!
