Yep, which was my point. As soon as you put it into a bag, the advantage of being so thin is lost.

You could perhaps put it in a briefcase, but I wouldnt give much hope of level of protection offered.

Portability is all about surface area, and weight (and to a certain extent battery life & connectivity). They seem to have completely missed the point(s), by not improving any of them.

I agree Bartmanekul, you will still put it in the same bag as your old 15.4" or whatever laptop, and it still weighs the same, so what's changed? Oh hang on, I forgot, you can put it in the mail and post it to someone easier..... how many times do you post your laptop?

There is only one type of person who will buy this: Retards with too much cash.

Honestly, talk of revolutionising things? Get real.

Yeah, you can get a 64gig SSD, but it costs an extra thousand dollars.
