i don’t understand who even wants a laptop so thin it can legitimately cut soft bread, i understand wanting them light but surely you want a laptop to fit your hand when closed???
I’m equally baffled with the insistence on thin phones, are people not holding them? Do the thin edges not dig into their hands??
my ideal laptop format would be a thinkpad x220t with a thinner screen and maybe like 5mm shaved off the body thickness, other than that it’s just… optimal… (especially being able to actually hold it by the battery, why would i not want to be able to use my laptop while standing?)
Again the thing that actually needs reducing is weight, shrink the internals to a single board and keep the chassis the same.
Wow, the X220t is a thick boi! I tend to agree that weight is a far more important factor than size. Carrying my old laptop around was a pain, I think it weighed around 2.5kg, maybe a bit more? Upgrading to a T480 felt insane. At the same time, I kind of get wanting a slim device. It’s easier to fit them in a backpack (even with a protective case), and I’m glad my phone is relatively slim (8mm) because its case makes it significantly thicker. But yeah, this obsession with making things as thin as possible feels weird, especially because smartphones are now thin but have massive camera lenses that stick out
