PROS Buy the Turbo to match the Armani suit -- or an Armani to keep up with the Turbo. The bag's beauty goes deeper than its rich leather skin: Buckles, zipper pulls, and other hardware bits are finished in tasteful silver. A cavernous main compartment easily holds half a dozen files plus a paperback, while zippered, stitched, and gusseted pockets provide good homes for a PDA, pens, and business cards.
CONS Given the price, you'd expect the Turbo to last a lifetime -- so why the skimpy five-year warranty? The computer sleeve could use more protection too.
BUY THIS ONE IF ... You enjoy the good -- and highly functional -- things in life.
