I would love to drop my rack and use bikepacking gear but I take clothes (leave shoes in locker), laptop 50% of the time and lunch 30% of the time, of which the laptop is the difficult bit.
Current set up - bigxtop bag on a pizza rack. I bought the bag off here years ago, it's made to fit a 13 inch macbook (but i get a thinkpad 13 into it now) and does a good job. I keep the laptop in a neoprene sleeve along with way too many old paper printouts, it goes into the bag first. I don't worry about shakes and bangs - i think the padding is decent and it's all solid state now so not bothered.
I have a SQR slim which I tried once and I think I had a problem with the amount of stuff i could get into it but I'm going to try again. I also quite like having the weight on the front
