This makes sense, as the increasing capability of tablets and phones has made portability a lot less of a priority in a laptop for me, at least. It's almost hard for me to imagine why a MacBook Air was an appealing buy for me in 2011 - I think that a decent laptop was superior for a lot of general use tasks that any recent iPhone can now do just as comfortably/quickly. When I have to use a full system at home, I expect some sort of a major advantage in terms of capability and I care a lot less about form factor. I wonder if Apple even has a response in these areas where svelteness has much less of a premium.
