I have been commuting with a laptop or netbook computer in a pannier for almost ten years, and have never had trouble with the computer. Of course, I haven't crashed with it either. I used to be much more paranoid about the computer, but now think that portable computing devices - laptops, notebooks, netbooks, and tablets - have gotten much tougher. The computer probably gets rougher treatment when it is off the bike than when it's on.
