Notes from our data check
Brand page: 'Size Reference: 20.47"(Height) x 12.99"(Width) x 9"(Depth)', 'Weight: 2.47 lb / 1120g (handmade, slight variations in size & weight)', 'Volume: 40L', 'fits up to a 17.3" laptop'. Amazon (tomtoc store, B097P4JVP7): 'Dimensions: 20.47 x 12.99 x 9 inch (52 x 33 x 23 cm)', 38-40L, '2.65 lbs' / 1200 g, 'up to 17" laptop', style T66M1D1. CONFLICT: weight 1120 g (brand) vs 1200 g (Amazon), and the brand's 'Liteway' SKUs end in D2 while Amazon's is D1, so the Amazon listing may be the slightly heavier earlier run; the size is identical. Brand figures stored. Price: brand $99.99; Amazon list $89.99, selling at $79.99. Derived values: cm from inches.
