Impact resistant case
I purchased a MBA 15" M5, arrives in a few days. I own fishing boat, with a cabin. I have long drives to the islands where I fish, but cell signal most of the way. I want to be able to do some work on the drive across, but my concern is boats rock, I need a case that will stand up to an occasional bump or smack. Suggestions on anything that you recommend, I found one, but it's $75.
No, I don't get seasick while using a computer on a boat, have years of experience.

I wouldnt really reccomend cases because they can sometimes damage then macbook (some people have had bad luck, and some people have had good luck). I would say just get a laptop sleeve and put it in that when you arent using it. You should also get applecare.

Put it in a bag or laptop sleeve or somewhere where it won’t be able to slide around and hit anything too hard

$75 bucks is cheap to protect a device imo, I have the supcase unicorn beetle on my m1 mbp, some bumps and scratches from almost 5 years of use but the macbook itself is in perfect shape.
