Suspension mount for Laptop Pannier

I have been considering some kind of suspension mount for my Laptop pannier & I notice there is almost no interest or concerns regarding Laptop pannier transport. I am thinking it is a non issue & that todays laptops are simply very robust. That said I have a large 17" HP that I have decided to transport daily 15 miles each way an I am considering a gas filled suspension system that can be mounted to rear pannier rack. My thought is to make a simple sub frame an use two 7.5" gas cabinet struts with 10 lbs of pressure each. Suspending the pannier from springs would create uncontrolled movement with no dampening ability. I think the only way to achieve this is to make a unit self contained and mount it to the rack rather than to modify the rack itself. I guess I am looking for thoughts on this idea or do you think it is not an issue to be concerned about.
