Travelpro Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Spinner Wheel Luggage TSA Lock Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Vintage Grey, Compact Carry-on with Laptop Pocket 20-Inch, Platinum Elite Hardside

Great quality and design as expected from the brand.

This is for the hard case carryon platinum elite business pro with laptop. I had high hopes for this and have yet to take it on a trip, but already I've seen design flaws. They advertise 40L capacity which is a joke. That is the base dimensions of the inside cavity. There is so much you need to subtract from that to get the usable space. As mentioned earlier, the laptop pocket is hard to zip and it is OUTSIDE the hardcase. The hardcase is indented to make room for the laptop which permanently takes away interior space. They have this little pocket in the fold of the zipper to put your battery bank. Hey you guys at TravelPro whu didn't you just make that battery pocket big enough and with flexible but smooth sides to slide a laptop into the middle of the case? This would have been so much more useful and then we could get a lot more precious space back when not needing the laptop. Also laptop when inserted is fully protected! The 4 wheels are really nice, I admit. But they also mean giving up more packing space. A 2 wheel roller doesn't take away as much packing space. When one has already decided to go "compact" all these things that take away packing space like 4 wheels become a cost. Also why is there so much space between the interior handle channels, right there is another inch of space given up. Should I just return it and find another carry-on bag? Travelpro! contact me.

With the hard divider for the laptop section, it leaves very little room to pack anything inside on that side. And then on the other side, the area that stores the handle, there is at least a 1/2" of dead space that cannot be used, leaving very little room to pack anything on that side as well. Be warned, it doesn't hold much of anything. The area showing is what is available, I smoothed down the lining to hug the hard plastic that encroaches the packing areas. And the exterior is 8" x 13", so also smaller than regulations require.

If you're looking for a suitcase to sneak things through TSA, look no further. This is one of those instances where you really do get what you pay for, so don't be cheap and pony up for the traveling hitman in your life. They'll appreciate the USB charging port and stylish design that's perfect for Europe.
