I have a Gore Oxygen Jacket for rain and it is gore-tex. Love the jacket and it does a really good job keeping me dry from the rain. However there is a compromise to it as it is not very breathable and keep pretty much most of your sweat but I wear a Under Armor compress shirt under so I don’t really mind the moisture from my sweat.

For you laptop, I will also suggest to get a waterproof case. On top of that, you can buy those medium or large zigloc bags and put your laptop in it for extra insurance. (I used it for my clothes)
