I got a work laptop soon after the pandemic started, so it's got a spinning disk drive and has only accumulated about a year of normal commuting. It goes in a waterproof Ortlieb pannier, sometimes with something to stabilize it, sometimes without. I've worn out a cheap mouse and a keyboard which did not commute (docking stations at each end). But the (low bid) laptop, which was used when it flowed down to me, is still working fine.
If I had to pay for the laptop, I might be inclined to pad it better. Or not; as I mentioned, it's still working. Why fix what's not broke?
