Ask HN: Which hand baggage do you use?

2 pointsby sreenadhabout 8 years ago
I am looking to buy a new hand baggage (carry-on with wheels), but I nothing seems right.<p>Since I will be travelling by plane and currently all the flight that I will take has a limit at 7kgs for carry-on. But most of the bags I saw start weighing from 2.5 to 4.5 kgs. That seems like a huge waste. My 13&#x27; MBP is 1.5kg, along with the chargers and my kindle, about 2kgs in all.<p>So, I am looking for bag that is as light as possible and has a nice laptop pouch. I don&#x27;t want a backpack.

I have one of these: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jump.fr&#x2F;duffle-bag--6&#x2F;cabin-size--12&#x2F;--1&#x2F;4461a-medium-duffle-bag--4461A.aspx" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jump.fr&#x2F;duffle-bag--6&#x2F;cabin-size--12&#x2F;--1&#x2F;4461a-me...</a><p>It does not have wheels. It weighs 1.1kg and is the appropriate size to go in the cabin. I travel almost exclusively with this bag as a carry on and don&#x27;t check luggage.
