Source: travelpro.com (verified 2026-07-11) · corroborated by amazon.com. The Travelpro manufacturer product page (title "21\" Expandable Carry-On Spinner Suitcase | Platinum Elite") confirmed model identity via its Case Dimensions of H:21 in and listed the Carry-On size at $390, with overall dimensions H:23.5 x W:14.5 x D:9 in, weight 7.8 lbs, 46 L volume, external USB A&C ports, 2" tip-resistant expansion, eight MagnaTrac spinner wheels, and a Built-for-a-Lifetime Limited Worry Free Warranty. The Amazon US listing for the same "Platinum Elite Softside Expandable Carry On... Carry On 21-Inch" model corroborated the 23.5"x14.5"x9" overall size, 7.8 lbs weight, softside high-density-nylon (DuraGuard) shell, external USB A&C ports, tapered 2" expansion, 8-wheel dual spinner, and Limited Lifetime warranty; its price showed in EUR for German delivery so it was not used for USD. Shell material was left null because "high-density nylon" does not match any allowed enum value; no integrated TSA lock is listed on either page and the base 21" size carries no dedicated laptop sleeve (a separate laptop-pocket/20" variant does), so those booleans are false.
