Review: High quality leather briefcase, classy, professional, comfortable - This is a great briefcase. As an executive this is exactly what I was looking for. Seems like quality leather and unlike many other brands I've seen on desertcart, will not scuff with the slightest touch or scratch. The style is nice and professional, it seems suited for an executive or business person, you can bring it to work with confidence. I LOVE the expandable pockets, since each pocket has a little width to expand, when you put stuff in the briefcase, it does not bulge or feel overpacked, each pocket has room to carry what will go inside it (my last one had a ton of pockets but not enough room inside, so it always bulged/ felt overpacked). It has handles, and also a shoulder strap, so you can carry it either way. You can slip it over your suitcase when traveling as well. Of course it has a laptop area, and it has enough pockets and compartments to be extremely useful - my briefcase is now much more organized than before - and a couple discreet inner zippers for storing valuables. It feels light, and comfortable, the shoulder strap and its adjustability ensures you can wear it at your desired length and it is more ergonomic and comfortable that way. Remember, you get what you pay for, you can get $50 or $100 briefcases but this one is from a reputable brand and is a high quality. I am really excited about this briefcase, big upgrade from my last one. Thank you Samsonite!
Review: 2nd Samsonite Bag Same Model Better Than The Original - Before I get this review started Id like to say that if anyone thought when buying this bag they where getting genuine leather at the $100 price point they must be using some kind of drugs. Some kind of serious, powerful, brain damaging drugs. With that out of the way, this is my second Samsonite Expandable Briefcase. 3 years prior to purchasing this bag I purchased the original Samsonite Expandable Briefcase. The original bag was great. I used it at least 6 days a week for 3 years often carrying around 25lbs of material (laptop making up most of the weight ). Of course as the years piled on the case lost its appeal as with most products. I loved the functionality and overall size of the briefcase. Most similar cases where either too small, didn't have enough compartments or just ridiculously retro designed. My favorite feature of all would have to be the middle zipper which makes the whole briefcase expandable. Fast forward and now I have this new fresh briefcase and man for the most part its an improvement over the original design. First the inner lining of the bag is now a light grey color making it easier to look into. Before it was just a black windbreaker material. Often times I had to literally flip the bag upside down to find some of my small pencils and things because I couldn't see them. They also added an additional divider in the back compartment as well as a an additional zipped sleeve and a weird Velcro compartment that can unzip from the bottom for whatever reason. The interior also seems to be made out of a more cleanable stain resistant material. They also changed the bags zippers from a shiny polished metal to black making the bag more conservative ( perfect for business ). Last but not least they removed that ugly metal Samsonite emblem for a subtle engraved Samsonite logo. The only possible downside to the cases changes would have to be the changing of the shoulder strap hooks from the polished raw metal to the painted black metal. The paint on the hooks chip as a result of their friction. In closing this bag is everything you could ask for out of a professional briefcase. Such a good briefcase you might even grow attached and buy the same model 3 years from now.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: will this fit DELL M6800 mobile workstation？width 416.70 mm (16.40 inches )**
A: In my opinion, that would be a really "tight" fit. It handles my 15.5 in. Lenovo with maybe an inch to spare, but I wouldn't guarantee it. The quality of the Samsonite is wonderful. Perhaps you could find a larger size? Hope this helps.

**Q: does the bag have a luggage strap for putting on the handle of roll-on luggage? for example, like the samsonite xenon 3.0 two-gusset toploader)**
A: Q:Does this bag have a strap on the back to slide it onto a luggage carrier in the airport?

**Q: Will this fit a 17" laptop?**
A: No it will not.  I have a 17" and a 15" laptop and it will only fit the 15" laptop. Having said that, it is still a great briefcase.  I see some other people have responded that it will fit a 17" laptop. Not sure if they have the same briefcase, but it will not fit my 17" (HP Envoy).

**Q: Is this case sturdy enough to carry several books?**
A: I believe that it is certainlt sturdy enough to carry severals books.  I bought this case for my husband and we liked it but my husband returned it only because he wanted a case with a smaller profile.
