I think thinness and lightness makes devices more usable. I currently own a 2007 MacBook Pro and a Dell XPS 13 (2014 I think), and the difference in traveling with them is so much more significant than I ever would have guessed before getting the XPS. Thin and light go hand-in-hand too; speaking in generalities, one probably begets the other. And, as the tech gets smaller and lighter, it can go in more places. I have to think that Apple's obsession with thinness on the iPhone led to the Watch (which receives criticism for...being too thick).
