I'm going to do a run commute after work. I've got a MacBook Air which I'll put in a case in my rucksack.

Will I kill it bouncing around on my jog? It's only 3 miles,but dunno how tough my [s]lifestyle accessory[/s] laptop would be.

It belongs to work so I'd rather not knacker it up.

No it will be fine.

Edit: Unless you fall over, land on your back and break it!

nah should be fine. Main risk would be if it had a hard drive not ssd but even they only tend to get mardy if actually on when lobbed about.

No,it will be fine,unless you are jumped on by a tiger and it rips the bag to shreds.
It would however break my heart if I had to run with a rucksack,couldn't think of anything worse.

It'll be fine. My laptop's been in a pannier on my bike where it gets smacked around over bumps much more and it's been fine for years.
