A great find for a carry-on that can hold a sleeved T42p

Since I learned about the wonderful Waterfield sleevecase on this forum, I'd like to return the favor by sharing a great carry-on find.

I was looking for a wheeled carry-on that would hold my sleeved 15" T42p (with 9-cell battery), clothing for an overnight or weekend stay and fit under an airline seat. I like keeping my carry-on under the seat in front of me so I can easily get to it. This requires that the longest dimension be 18" or less. The clothing requirement rules out most "computer cases" which don't have a large enough compartment for clothing. The only carry-on I could find that fit the bill is the Samsonite Nexera Rolling Tote (available at JCPenney), and it works VERY nicely. It has one zippered compartment which snugly holds my sleeved T42p (15" x 13" x 2.5"). The largest zippered compartment can hold clothing and sundry items. A third zippered compartment can hold laptop accessories, cell phone, ipod, etc. A fourth small zippered compartment can hold paper items such as airline tickets and passport. An ingenious side pocket can hold a bottle of water. The pocket where the carry-on handle is located has space for a newspaper and magazines. The overall dimension of the carry-on is 17" x 14" x 9.5". If you have the same requirements of a carry-on as me, you should definitely look at the Nexera Rolling Tote (there is also an Expandible Tote, but it is too small). I got it on sale for $110.
