Rack bag to fit laptop

I'm thinking about fitting a rack for this winter's commute, and wondered are there any rack bags out there that I could squeeze a laptop into, rather than having to run one pannier bag? I'd just prefer the handling that way I think, and I only need to carry the laptop for two journeys a week (along with a shirt, underwear and some lunch).

Thanks in advance

  • Thanks Oxoman,

    Looks like Topeak used to make something along the lines I'm after - the MTX Office Bag - but I can't find anywhere that stocks it...
  • From the same company I have been using the SQR Slim https://www.carradice.co.uk/bags/saddle ... c-sqr-slim for commuting over the past 5 years or so. Can easily carry a laptop (although that might depend on the size you have, of course) and still have plenty of room for lunch, a book, a shirt and other essentials up to 16 litres. Only a small bracket remains on the bike when it's not being used and it doesn't seem to catch the wind like panniers would - and, as an added bonus, it has a reinforced plastic section on the bottom that acts as a rear mud guard. Good small UK company too!
  • Thanks Anthony that looks like it should work.
  • Thanks again. I've bought one from SJS cycles who have it on offer atm. I've not fitted it yet, but it certainly looks like a nice bit of kit.
