This. I certainly wouldn’t want to be carrying a laptop or tablet with a hard case and sharp edgesPannier.
Don’t like the idea of having something strapped to my back in case I felll off.
±+1Anything beyond your lunch, wallet, and a clean shirt then I took would start thinking of panniers.
I actually own a camelback from my MTB days. Maybe could use that.If it's just your lunch and nothing solid with pointy corners, one of the cycling specific Camelbaks with the built in adjustable back protector. Not especially cheap, but I've just retired my first one after 11 years of commuting and MTB training use (and Lowland Rescue very kindly bought me a new one!)

What are you actually carrying? How much?10 miles but I want to use it for general use too. No panniers going on a racing bike.

No mounts on a carbon race bike. It would have to be some awful bodge around an aero seat post.You can always take the panniers off when you are not chasing a podium at a race. Think of the pannier as training.
