If you use an ORTLIEB Back-Roller, Bike-Packer or Velo-Shopper for your ride to work, you may want to consider the advantages of the Commuter Insert. You pack the Commuter Insert at home – with your laptop, lunchbox, documents, water bottle, pens, smartphone, change of shoes, etc. – and then simply insert it into your pannier. The advantage is that everything stays well-organized, nothing goes mysteriously missing and nothing hides in the depths of your bag. And so you save time and avoid those nervous moments of uncertainty. While the Commuter Insert is ideal for commuters, it can also be a faithful companion to anyone who transports gear from any point A to any point B.
The Commuter Insert is made of lightweight, durable nylon fabric. A padded compartment for your laptop or tablet is located directly under the handle. There is a separate pen compartment and two compartments for your smartphone and money, including an integrated key chain. The large inside compartment offers plenty of space for provisions and a change of clothes.

I had to replace the bike bags when the corners of the laptop poked through the bottom of the bag. I also bought this inner part so it wouldn't happen again. It's too early to say how long it will last, but it's convenient for carrying a laptop. Fits inside the Ortlieb Classic just and not almost, like a generic laptop bag. In addition to the laptop pocket, the interior has five smaller pockets. It blocks the Classic's own pocket a bit, but it doesn't hurt when there are enough pockets.

Works exactly as it should: fills the bag well, and in addition to the padded laptop pocket and "open section", it has a place for keys, two pockets for small items and places for two water bottles, you can use these creatively.
The price may be a bit high, but it is still worth it that I felt it was pointless to try to look for better solutions or to tune something myself. Although it is sold by Ortlieb, I didn't notice to look at what was said about the responsibility of the product.
The only small minus comes from if you want to pull this out of the bag, if for example you leave things at the workplace, it didn't go away in an instant, but it wasn't very difficult either.
