This carry on is very nice and has plenty of space for the items I may need while traveling. It is also nice that it fits under the seat. Well constructed.

My review was NOT collected as part of a promotion
It's a hardside underseat bag, and there aren't many choices in this category. There is good protection for a 15" laptop in the bag, and it's got room for wardrobe and toiletries/accessories for a weekend getaway. It is constructed so that the contents of each side don't spill out when you open the bag...and another plus is that is has a strap for piggy-backing it onto the telescoping handle of a larger bag. But what you're giving up is spinner wheels and outside pockets. You'll need to be able to tilt/roll the bag through the airport and you'll need to be able to bring it up onto your lap and unzip it if you want to remove anything during the flight. You'll also probably want to close the handle and carry it down the aisle -- a 14" bagwill be tight rolling in a 17" aisle. If you're in coach and you're taller, it will take up every bit of underseat space, so you'll want to be sure you have access to the overhead bin for this underseat bag.
Solid Samsonite
The construction is solid and what you would expect from Samsonite. So, I think you are good there. The product, however, markets itself in three ways that I might question. First, it provides a USB port which connects to a battery (not provided) inside the suitcase. I’m trying to imagine the context here, where you are leaning over your suitcase using a charging mobile device (in the flight?). I’m not sure how this couldn’t be just as accomplished by connecting to a battery inside the suitcase without the outlet. Second, it claims to fit under a seat. Again, while this is practical for air travel, I’m still thinking most attendants would ask for it to go in the bin. Finally, it markets a smart sleeve. It works fine. This is probably a nice piece for the million mile corporate traveler. I’m not sure it provides enough added value to justify a purchase from the leisure traveler, however.

Wonderful product
The color is just what I wanted and for as little as you need to be a ride along luggage it is very big inside! There are different areas for diffrent things including my computer. This item even comes with a usb hook up that works amazing as well. The zipper is not your normal cheap zipper as I have had to unzip quicker than I should with this product and it held the test! I simply love every thing about this luggage price!

A frequent traveler's dream!
As a frequent traveler, I am always searching for ways to make the actual travel part of my trip easier and more enjoyable. The Samsonite Silhouette 16 HS - UNDERSEATER 2 WHEELED carry on has solved so many of my frustrations. It is extremely lightweight, weighing in at 6.6 lbs, so it gives you more pack-able weight and the 16" size is perfect for international carry on travel. The hard side construction provides protection for your belongings. This bag is like a bottomless pit, I was really amazed at how much stuff I could pack into this it. All my essentials for inflight plus a change of clothing and my 15 " laptop! I love the compartments for storing your passport, credit cards and a pen (for those pesky immigration forms). The built in USB port makes topping off your devices a breeze (battery not included). The very best feature of this bag for me is the under seat storage, as I have difficulty lifting overhead, and this bag fits neatly under the seat in front of you, making it easily accessible throughout your flight.
