    The ultra-thin bit is mighty convenient when you're taking your laptop all over the house, to the coffee shop, to work meetings, and so forth. And it becomes a competition with rival vendors. "Our new Apple ____ is 1.7 mm thinner and 4 grams lighter than the ultra-light laptop from our competitor Dell!" (or whoever)

    So I understand why they do it. On the other hand, the lack of removable batteries and storage on so many flagship tablets and smart phones is a disaster. I would have thought consumers would flock to vendors that only offered both... but I would have thought wrong.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking thin. I think Apple has merely done it to excess. Now they're just trying for absurd.

      Yes, my iPad Mini (which I like a fair amount) was so thin I went out and bought a centimeter of black plastic Otterbox to surround it for the inevitable occurrence of bouncing it off my tile floors.

        And i have seen fanatics from both the iPhone and Android camp claim that it is a good thing that the phones are so thin that they can fit bulky cases on them.

        Sorry, but i will take a bulky phone that i can switch batteries on and that can take a fall without a case, thank you very much...
