Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update. Zipper broke after just 6 months; a kink in the zipper that had been there originally finally gave out, leaving the computer compartment hanging open. While I love the idea of this bag, and had read many reviews that questioned the integrity of the zipper, I was surprised to see it break with easy usage. The handle is also wobbly, and feels very unsubstantial. It had just started to slip, and not stay up, after only 6 months of occasional use. I would not purchase again. I struggled to choose between the Samsonite "womens" spinner and the "mens" spinner. It was impossible to compare/contrast these items on Amazon, similar bags with the same measurements, because the "womens" pics showed the "purse" section, and the "mens" did not show the comparable pocket. "Men's" showed the computer pocket, "women's" didn't. "Men's" showed a deep file pocket with a shirt/clothing area, "women's" did not. "Men's" showed a cool slip feature on the back to load this briefcase onto an overnight bag, the "women's" did not. So I ordered both. So here's the dish. Both have the slip-on for luggage. Both have similar "purse" pockets. "Men's" has a bizarre velcro computer holder that allows custom fit, "women's" has a simple strap that works quite well. "Men's file compartment falls open completely, with luggage type straps. It looks and feels like an overnight bag. "Women's" has a zipper that holds the bag upright and doesn't let the back fall to the ground as "men's" does. "Men's" is red/black interior, "women's" is beige/black. In this case, the "women's model was clearly more suited to a mobile office, and not an overnight bag with a computer/file pocket as the "men's" was. Both have slightly wobbly extension handle that looks unstable. I'm a bit worried this won't hold up. We would have kept the "women's" as the clear winner, even if the "men's" didn't have some weird mold in the "purse" compartment.
