 Great design, quality and functionality! Sep 18, 2009
By Hoppaguy
I own 2 bags one for work and one for personal. This Tumi bag serves as my work bag and I have been using it for over 7 years now. This model is the probably the most popular and for good reason. It has ample room for a laptop and all your paperwork. The expandability feature comes in very handy when you have to transport binders and other large materials. I have even put a change of clothes into it on occasion for overnight trips. The Tumi quality is outstanding as expected. As I mentioned before I have used the bag for over 7 years and it still looks pretty new. I would highly recommend this bag to anyone looking for a high end briefcase!

Nice upgrade for my travel needs Apr 20, 2011
By Alex V.

I was very happy with my Victorinox laptop brief, which I used for about 2 years without any problems, but lately I increased the quantity of things (electronics and work papers) I'm carrying with me when traveling, so I needed a bigger brief but light in weight and with the enough compartments for those important documents and basic things I travel with (passport, travel shaver, bluethooth headphones, chargers, etc.).
This Tumi brief was exactly what I was looking for, I had the chance to try it on a duty free shop and I even got a discount price (payed less than the online price). It holds my laptop, the AC adapter, 3 chargers, my travel shaver, documents, the huge Nokia bluetooth headset case and my computer's security cable with no problems and it doesn't look like a sardine can. Totally recommend it.
 The perfect mobile office May 11, 2012

As a consultant, I often work out of numerous offices in any given week, and travel between cities for client visits relatively frequently.
For single day / overnight travel, this briefcase cannot be beaten - I am amazed at how often I see other consultants using the exact same case!
The case easily fits a laptop, a zippered legal pad, a handful of files as well as an iPad, Kindle, umbrella (in the waterproof front pocket - a nice touch!), glasses case and chargers. The main compartment can be expanded via zip about 2 inches, which means a toiletry kit and Eagle Creek shirt folder (smallest size) easily fit in.
The "pocket" between the front panel and main compartment is a well designed feature - when carrying the bag, the pocket is held closed by the front handle, but it is easy to access anything kept in the pocket when the bag is put down. Very handy when flying - I keep my earphones and Kindle in there so I can grab them before I stow the case for take off.
I have used this case daily, and the material has held up well - no tears or scuffs. It is with regard to durability however that I have only given the case 4 stars. The zipper tabs quickly become chipped showing the metal underneath, and as they are painted black, this is very noticeable and detracts greatly from the appearance of the bag. The old Tumi messenger I used to use daily had dark gunmetal zipper tabs - while these became tarnished over time, this was hardly noticeable. The chipped tabs look very cheap for such an expensive bag - the design, capacity and overall material durability of this case is worth the price, except for this issue. I have considered buying the leather version of this / other Tumi cases, but will hold off until there is a change back to the old zippers / the zips are upgraded.
Overall a great bag, however the use of cheap zippers is unfortunate.
Worth every penny... Jan 09, 2012

I've had this bag for 7 or 8 years and have traveled with it as many as 40 times per year. It shows no signs of wear and has never failed me in any way. This was my first Tumi product and I have purchased many others since. The only problem that I can see in buying one now is that laptops will be long obsolete before the bag ever wears out. Handles my 15.4" w/s Thinkpad with no problem, but I think that 17" might be a bit of a stretch. With the gusset expanded, I often carry a portable inkjet printer, a/c adapters for both printer and pc, extra ink, paper, cables, a spare drive or battery and everything else I need for a complete office. Before I know it, I can easily load it up with 60-70lbs of stuff. Thankfully, the shoulder strap is wide and supportive. If you're tough on luggage, like I am, this bag should exceed all of your expectations.
 Durable but very heavy Dec 05, 2011

I've had my Tumi for almost 5 years and it looks brand new. That's the best part. This bag is durable and super roomy. I can easily stash an extra sweater in there for the airplane ride. But why so heavy is beyond me. When I travel with it - it only rides on top of my roller suitcase. The bag alone in heavier than my laptop. And the price tag is pretty steep.
