I've turned into one of those people who find it essential to have a briefcase on wheels. I have a bum shoulder and can no longer handle carrying all of my work/laptop or even an overnight bag. Since I travel frequently, I decided to invest in yet another briefcase. This one has great wheels and lots of compartments. I'm in the technology sector and sometimes have too many gadgets - e.g., not unusual for me to have 2 laptops and an iPad (yep, I'm a nerd). Even when I pare down, I'm carrying two iPads (work & personal) and two smartphones (ditto) - I say again, I'm a nerd... so the wheels have become an essential.

On overnighters, it makes sense to use a smaller bag than a standard rollaboard and I've been able to cram in clothes/toiletries and even a spare pair of shoes into this briefcase. My only beefs with this bag are 1) the folders make it difficult to use as an overnight bag. One folder for paperwork would have been sufficient as I would have paper folders for more paper and... who carries that much paper these days? 2) the telescoping handle seems a bit wobbly & flimsy, which really surprised me. It hasn't let me down yet, though, and Samsonite has an excellent warranty so I'm trusting it's not going to be a problem. I deducted one star for these two items. Aside from that, well worth the price.
