How to bikepack with a Macbook 13" (31x22cm)?

[hal9e3]

I've toured before using panniers but always end up carrying way too much stuff, would like to go lighter this time just carrying my laptop and a few clothes + toiletries.

I was looking forward to just using a frame bag since I'll be staying in guesthouses every night, but I also absolutely have to carry my laptop with me for work. Sadly I can't fit the laptop in my Winspace G2 frame hole


Some options from the frustrating research I've done are:

1. Trunk Bag

I don't see many people use trunk bags, does having the weight higher feel ok for touring?

2. Handlebar Bag
Here I'm at a total loss for what handlebar bag I can actually use though, most of them seem too small to fit a laptop, or aren't waterproof.

I'm up for any advice or product recommendations, thanks! Done too many hours of research without finding a great solution

Carradice saddle bag and QR mount has been spot on for me and long distance commuting/ travelling with laptop. Fits a 13" laptp fine.

Bags come in different sizes. I use a longflap Nelson https://www.carradice.co.uk/bags/saddle ... -saddlebag
