Questions and answers
- Which is better for business travel with a laptop?
- The Monos Carry-On Pro. Its front compartment fits a 16" laptop and closes with a lockable, water-resistant zipper, so you can pull the laptop out without opening the case.
- Is the Monos worth about $94 more?
- Yes if you need the front laptop pocket and USB-C fast charging. If you just want a light hardside spinner, the Samsonite at $157.49 covers that for less.
- Which is lighter to lift into the overhead bin?
- The Samsonite at 6.4 lb empty versus 7.78 lb for the Monos. The gap is 1.38 lb, which matters on a full flight.
- Which holds more for a week-long trip?
- The Monos states 36 L and 6-8 outfits for 5-7 days. Samsonite does not publish a carry-on volume, and its front-pocket-free shell leaves the whole interior for packing.
- Do both have TSA locks?
- Yes. The Monos has a TSA-accepted lock and the Samsonite has a built-in TSA lock.
- Which has the better warranty?
- Samsonite lists a limited lifetime warranty. The Monos listing does not state a warranty, so check its terms before buying.
