Wheels laptop case

This is half a work query and half style, I think. Possibly more work, but I’m hoping stylish people have the same eye for this as for clothes!

I have had a back injury and I can no longer carry a laptop bag, even as a rucksack style. I’m ok for a few minutes but that is all. So I’m looking for a bag with wheels. I have a bigger one, with space for overnight kit, but I’m struggling to find something with space for work things only. Because I’ll be doing lots of train/tube journeys with it, I want something I can easily carry up and down stairs, so I want something that is lighter than average.

If it is even a bit stylish, that’s a bonus! But any suggestions would be fabulous. Thank you!

Has anyone seen the Samsonite Zamia 2.0? It looks slimmer than the others I have seen.

I have a similar dilemma. There were some beautiful ones in House of Fraser last weekend: Samsonite and Ted Baker. The Samsonite was £180.00. I decided to order something off the Internet for £50 to see how it goes. It's a bit bigger than I imagined but will be OK to see if the concept works.

I’ll have a look at Ted Baker - thank you. I have a generous budget - but only to spend once, if you see what I mean, so one I could go to look at would be great.

I have a perfect laptop+space for a change of clothes bag, which is brilliant when I’m away overnight. But it just looks like overkill for a day trip to London!

I have this one, my work laptop fits in the front pocket and the rest of my stuff in the main body. Although I do carry lots of paperwork and folders around so May be a bit bigger than what you're looking for.

It is a bit bigger than I was hoping for. But I love that it looks more interesting.

I think mine would be too big for you but by the time I have: laptop, A4 notebook, headphones, charger, 2 or three files, various papers, my lunch, umbrella, water bottle, etc, that's mine filled and too heavy to carry.

Purse, phones, lipstick, keys go in a small crossbody.

Fortunately I drive to work but it's a big site with meetings up to 1/4 mile away and I just can't carry a rucksack any more. Also not keen on anything too statusy as we are quasi public sector and it's a woodland site so anything on wheels will pick up mud and get wrecked.

I do like the McKlein Edgebrook but the only uk stockist I can see seems to be charging way more than the US price, so I don’t think that’s a go, unfortunately. I think I’ll see if I can find somewhere with the Zalia 2.0 in stock. I might then see some other options in the same place.
