I keep my MacBook Pro in an incase sleeve, and have never had any trouble with it going through the xray.. I also travel with two laptops, one PC and then my mac and have never had someone question me..

I'll be in a similar situation on my next business trip and I decided to get a checkpoint friendly bag for my personal Mac that is large enough to to hold the work laptop in the main compartment in its sleeve. Then all I need to do is pull the work one & put it in a tray and put the unfolded checkpoint thru with the Mac still in it. Figure this should cut the hassle and risk in half.

The sleeves are not a problem, just don't put cables, flashdrives, mice, whatever else in the sleeve with it. A new laptop in the box is dependent on how it's packaged. If the laptop is clearly visible, not an issue. If it has cables and other things sitting on top of it, it has to come out. Unfortuately the only way to know is to run it through and see how it looks. When I get new ones in the box through the machine, maybe 10% of the time they have to be taken out. For 2 laptops, 1 in each tray. Two stacked on top of each other don't give a clear enough view.
