I have a pair of SunLite Grocery Getter panniers. They are tough. One even survived being run over by a semi truck.
As for laptops. I always carry them in a backpack so I can rise off the pedals in case of a bad bump, and my mass keeps the bumping down.
In my youth, I rode IC chips on my bike between different plants of a company I worked for. Some of the chips carried directly on my bike went bad. None of the ones carried in my backpack did.
