Tank Bag that hold 15" laptop!
Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you has a tank bag that can hold 15" laptop. Can I see the pictures of the bag on and off the bike please?
I've been thinking about getting an Axio Hardshell bag or Rapid Transit Stack XL

I wouldn't put one on top of the tank. The bangs and bumps will bounce the drive and likely kill it, unless you have an SSD Drive.
I use saddle bags for laptops and even for some SFF PC's. (Computer Guy who travels).

How about the tail bag? I was thinking to put some clothes underneath the laptop since I would be doing some exercise. What do you think? It should work right?

Well, I know it's not an apples to apples comparison but I kept my SLR camera in my tankbag for a 4000 mile road trip one time and it still works fine.
A laptop in a tailbag with some clothes for padding should work just fine. Unless you wreck.

It can work, but there's always a risk. Be sure to back it up! Still... for around $100-200 you can pick up a SATA III SSD drive from New Egg and ghost your system over. Your laptop will be much faster on top of that. Reach for an OCZ Vector if you have the means. Solid state drives can handle shocks that spindle drives can't.
