How to keep laptop dry in rain

[cap396]

I know this may seem like a silly question, but what is the best way to keep my laptop dry when traveling in rainy weather? I carry my laptop in a messenger bag but it is not waterproof. Can I just put my laptop in a big ziploc bag, or do I need to have a special anti-static bag to protect it?

A large enough ziplock would work. Or just about any plastic/waterproof thing.

No, you don't need a special anti-static bag. You've not needed one up to now, right?

Most of the time I put it in a plastic bag and than put it in my laptop, with the opening side of the bag faced down.

Well a simple solution would be to replace that bag with one that is waterproof, or at least mostly waterproof. Must be a pretty simple thin bag if rain gets inside it.
