FWIW after a lot of hunting an seeing very little that didn't look like a
laptop bag turned on its side, I've ended up with a padded sleeve from
sfbags.com (whose construction, customer service and delivery is superb I
might add) and a Kelty boomerang backpack which has a (not very padded)
compartment that is just the right size for the laptop in its sleeve.
You might also want to take a look at North Face who make a couple of latop
versions of their bags (the 'mainframe' and the 'network' if memory serves)
(ebags.com), the Spire 'zoom' (spireusa.com) or the Osprey helios (if you're
after a serious backpack...) (ospreypacks.com)
