Our take on the Targus Compact Rolling Backpack 16"

The Targus Compact Rolling Backpack is a soft-sided 16-inch laptop bag that converts between a wheeled case and a backpack. It has a padded laptop compartment, a tablet sleeve and a front outer pocket, plus a telescopic handle, top handle and two wheels. At about 4.4 lb and roughly 19 by 14 by 9 inches, it fits most airline carry-on limits and rolls under a seat. It suits commuters and short trips where you want to wheel the load but still carry it on stairs. Against rolling briefcases it trades some structure for backpack straps and a softer body.
