A front-opening 34L hard-shell carry-on with a laptop pocket, USB charging pass-through and a handle that holds a cup.
If you travel with a laptop and hate digging through a clamshell case, yes. The front-opening design is the main reason to buy: you open one panel, grab your laptop from the front pocket and leave the rest packed. The extras (cup holder on the handle, USB port, TSA lock) are more gimmick than essential, but they work as described. At $375 it is not cheap for a carry-on, and 8.55 lb is not the lightest.
The Tank Carry-On sits in 4MYTU's Tank Series. It uses a polycarbonate shell, opens from the front, and expands from 34L to 42L. The store lists it in several colors; this review uses the Navy listing.
The front panel opens while the bag stands upright, which saves floor space in hotels and airports. The front pocket fits laptops up to 16 inches, with a stated opening of about 28 x 40 cm.
The handle includes a cup holder, bag hook, phone and tablet holders and a portable hanger. Not everyone will use all of it, but the cup holder and bag hook come in handy in queues.
There is no battery inside. You plug your own power bank into a cable inside the suitcase and then charge a device through the external USB-A or USB-C port. Handy, but you still need to carry the power bank.
Polycarbonate flexes under impact instead of cracking, in theory. The 360-degree spinner wheels have dual bearings and dual shock absorption, and a TSA-approved lock comes built in.
