Roll-aboard with Built-in Digital Scale
Guess this qualifies as "technology": 25" or 28" roll-aboards with a built-in digital scale to warn you of impending overweight baggage fees! And with a Beverly Hills name (as in Ricardo of BH) to balance geek-chic with snob appeal!

25" and 28" are not for carry on,
and little small for check-in.
Guess it is useless.
ALSO if there is 22" carryon model, since no one checks weight for carryon
becomes useless.
finally baggage handelers throws bags. what if scale brokes after first flight?
and little small for check-in.

Personally, a 28"-er is a good size for me for trips of one to two weeks. And I know that without "guidance" ms. jmd001 can easily make a 25"-er exceed 50 lb! The guidance could be a money saver.
Hopefully, the bag comes with some reasonable warrantee to its scale.
But what happens when the bag's scale says less than 50 lb and the airline's says more!??

Many overseas airlines check carry on weights

(BTW, before the spelling police pounce: it's a roll-aboard, not "rollerboard." It's not any kind of a board. It's a suitcase that you can roll aboard so you don't have to carry it.)

Interesting, but I get by with a hand scale.

Of course, it's not a Beverly Hills hand scale.
