You're absolutely right. The key is the personal item - I've been able to travel with just one suitcase with two suits and a laptop without the 8kg limit, but the laptop usually puts me over. Move that to a second smaller bag, and I'm fine for both.

The 8kg limit, as alluded to above. Also, given that apparently most carry on sized suitcases don't actually meet the definition as posted on the UA website, this is even more key.
