How Safe is It To Carry Laptop in a Cabin Luggage?

We will be flying with wizzair from an EU city to Eindhoven then take bus to Amsterdam. Then same route to get back. We will travel only with cabin bagage and have bought big CabinMax backpacks.

I'm thinking whether I should carry my new 13.3 inch Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 i7 256GB SSD with me because I paid quite a decent amount for it. I also have one older 12 inch Asus EeePC, but it's very underpowered and has small resolution screen.

We will be out walking around most of the time, but there may be an emergency from work and I would probably need a decent notebook.

I really want to bring the Lenovo with me, but I'm mostly concerned about saftey during travelling with airplane and bus. What do you guys say?

Well its much more safe than putting it in hold/checked luggage.
many people bring laptops in their cabin/hand/carry on luggage every single day.

Have travelled on WIZZ air. Computer 100% safe in cabin bag.

HOWEVER they are red hot on charging extra for oversize cabin bags! Their size limit is small - sounds is if your - have bought big CabinMax backpacks - could exceed their limits!

If so you have double bad whammy of being charged extra AND your bag going in the hold which makes you computer very vulnerable! AND THEN the same again on return flight!

Yes. Also, most airlines advise passengers to NOT put laptops in their checked luggage and won't pay for damage if you do.
