Seriously, you don't need a fancy one.

Buy one of those plastic storage / lunch boxes with the 4 x flip down clasps.

Buy some foam or use some old carpet underlay glued to the base and lid.

This works VERY well, is way cheaper and takes up less luggage space...

Pelican - make sure it's REALLY waterproof
 
There 1st gen cases were not. I know - I warrantied it when I could blow air through it. :)

Very good against shock but . . . it's better to have a machine with no moving parts and a robust frame . . . the MacBook Air is cheap, small and stupid robust.

I had one in a soft case on the back of my KTM for 12,000 miles and regularly ripped across the Mongolian steppe among other places at 140kph.

This note is being typed on that machine.

No problems at all.

This year I'll use an iPad with a Touchfire keyboard. Under 1 pound, 9 hours of battery life and photos, blog, etc easily updated.

For every £20 you save on prep, it's an extra day on the road...
