It would depend on the trunk bag and the size of the laptop. The side bags on the Trunk-it (no longer made but similar to other trunk bags) would probably be big enough for some of the smaller laptops.
However, I’m an old guy who has used the fact that I
can’t carry a computer on a bicycle as an excuse to not donate my time to my work. I’ll volunteer hours and hours to my local co-op but my work
pays me for my time and my experience. I ain’t going to
give away what I sell. Working double time just means half pay.
