Good to know you use yours as a portable computer, but the dings would kill me!

Lojack and a lock cable are always good ideas. I just wish apple would hurry the frak up and carry hard display cases and keyboard covers for my machine.
I've travelled with my PowerBook G4 all over the place. Keep it in hotel safes when you're not using it and be judicious about whipping it out in public.
The only time I came close to losing it was in an airport in Moscow. The customs agents took quite a shine to it and were talking about a need to "quarantine" it. (Even though I was leaving the country, not entering.) Whaddya know, I paid a "fee" of 300 rubles (about USD 10) and their need to "quarantine" it suddenly vanished.

I don't have anything for mine except for a messenger bag I put it in, no cases, no other type of protection (and if I get a ding changes are Apple will need to replace the part within a year anyway since I had the pleasure of getting a sickly machine). Probably have logged around 20,000 miles with it next to me (a few trips to Europe and Back and it sky rockets 
).
).I have traveled with my macbook pro quite a bit. Besides with my previous dell I traveled with it overseas twice. I do not take care of my macbook pro as much as I used to when it was new. All I have a sticker on the front and 2 laptop bags.
what's the point in having a laptop if you don't use it as a laptop. i take my MBP wherever i go: i bring it to my workplace, have it with me when i go to classes at uni and i travel with it. bigtime.
i had like 50 trips this year already and i took my mbp along on all of them except one (wanted to do some partying in zurich, so the mbp wasn't needed).
i just carry mine in my backpack and it's fine. the only annoying thing is that you have to take out your laptop when you're sending your stuff thru the x-ray boxes.
