Is the EB901 big enough for a week-long trip?

At about 3,700 cubic inches it fits roughly a week of clothing if you pack light, and it works well as a checked bag or a large carry-on. It is roomier than a typical gym duffel.

Does it fit in an overhead bin?

Its 13 by 13 by 11 inch body is close to carry-on limits but the soft shell squashes, so it usually fits overhead when not overpacked. Confirm your airline's size rules before relying on it as a carry-on.

Can the shoulder strap be removed?

Yes. The padded shoulder strap is adjustable and removable, so you can carry it by the grip handles or end haul handles instead.

Is there a laptop compartment?

Yes, it has a padded laptop sleeve inside. It is a sleeve rather than a separate structured compartment, so use a case for extra protection.

How does it compare with a rolling duffel?

It is lighter and simpler than a wheeled duffel but has to be carried. Choose it if you value a packable soft bag; choose wheels if you routinely haul heavy loads through airports.
