I am also a software developer and I need to find a decent sized pannier bag that will fit my laptop. When I took this job, I said I wanted the largest screen size availible sine they offered, but that doesn't help me now since I am having trouble finding a pannier large enough for it...
Clint, I cart my laptop back and forth in
these and have been happy so far. Forget the "pod" they sell as a side item cause your laptop def. won't fit, but I use a sleeve from another backpack that works great. Let me know if you decide on 'em; I can give you early warning on a few minor issues with them. I love 'em for the work commute.
Oh, and for the main thread, 40 year old all weather male, except for lightning, I try to avoid that. 21 mile RT.
