If cost is not an option, Timbuk2 messenger bag (built to order) with the padded sleeve insert (Timbuk2 has one padded insert for every laptop model that apple sells, the one I got for my Ti 867 fits perfectly). If on a budget, Timbuk2 also makes a hybrid bag actually designed for laptops, so no laptop sleeve, instead if has a pocket for the laptop. Note of warning: the hybrid bag (they call it the "commuter") is not water proof. A friend of mine had his manuals soaked last week under moderate rain. Mine has a second waterproof liner sewn-in at the factory and is absolutely water proof. I used a back pack when I had an iBook but people at the DC Metro rail get pissy when you have back packs that stick out too much. The messenger backs are starting to become popular because they hang with a lower profile and you can always swing them to your front without taking it off your shoulder.
