I don't see how any laptop should have any trouble in that situation
(moving along, in a backpack). If the machine is on, the main problem
would be sensitive mechanical devices (HDD, CDROM). Even then, those
are pretty good these days, and the newer ThinkPads (and other
notebooks) have APS.

The only trouble is if you were going to be falling down backwards a
lot onto your backpack or tossing your backpack in front of busses.
Then, yes, get a sturdier model. (Unless you're not too heavy or the
busses have nice breaks.)
