For those of you suggesting two desktops or logmein, flash drives, etc. Some of us HAVE to use laptops. I have no choice. My office is where ever I am on any given day. I can be in Apex, NC of Friday and by Monday I could be in Largo, FL or Claysburg, PA or Goose Creek, SC. Personally I prefer the laptop over a desktop for the portability. FWIW mine travels in a padded sleeve in a padded case. I am on my second laptop in 9 years and have never managed to break one using my packing method. I have had the bag dropped from 6' on to concrete (airline) fall off the tailgate of my truck, banged and kicked around. My original laptop is still functioning as a linux machine now and it was purchased new in 1999. If you shut them down properly and pad them they can survive quite well. For those that are really hard on a laptop...get a Panasonic ToughBook
