I would agree that as long as it's powered down and not rattling around in the tourpack or saddlebags it should be ok...

There should be plenty of options. I work with a guy that rides acrotch rocket hard and fast. He carries his laptop in one of those backpacks for laptops. He has never had any problems.
Like everyone has said, make sure it is shut down. Even if it could stand the vibration while running, the trapped heat inside a backpack would not be good.

RE: laptops and ultras
My laptop has traveled on two long trips with me, one 1500 miles, and the other over 3000 miles. Not a problem yet. Be sure to power it down first, as you don't want to damage the hard drive. Real handy to have to keep in contact with loved ones, check tomorrow's weather, etc.

Two words:
DEKKER SUPREME
You could fill this thing up with uncooked eggs, drive around the country, and I'd bet not a single egg would break open.
Phenominal padding. THICK.
Happy Easter.
