Notes from our data check
Brand spec block: 'Dimensions: 12.2" H x 9" W x 16.2" L L 41cm W 23cm H 31cm ... Weight: .92 KG / 2 lb Capacity: 29.2 L'. Béis 'L' is mapped to width and 'W' to depth. MAJOR SAME-PAGE CONFLICT: the compare widget on the same page says 'Airline size: Personal item ... 15" Laptop pocket Capacity: 31.8L DIMENSIONS 18.11" x 12.99" x 8.2" (46 x 33 x 21 cm) Weight: 2.7 lbs'. The product is tagged 'new'/'Q3-2026', so one block may describe a previous version. The spec block is used; confirm with Béis before relying on it. Laptop 15" is from the compare widget. Price $108. Amazon not checked, so null.
