The issue though is that Apple are prioritising thinness, not lightness.
Of course, one is sometimes a proxy for the other, but it's not a given.
I also travel a lot, and want a thin, lightweight laptop - but it must be functional, reliable and have excellent battery life; I don't care a jot if the next generation is 1mm thinner than the last if it means sacrificing keyboard usability and reliability, battery life and cooling.
We past the point where thinness was an issue a long time ago. Now it's just a pissing contest.
- randomsearch 7y agoThinness really matters to me. My last laptop was much thicker than a MacBook and it limited what I could fit in my bag. I’m comparing with a standard dell or whatever, not a MacBook-like Lenovo etc.
- GordonS 7y agoThere's a big difference between a workstation like an HP zBook and a MacBook Pro, but that's not what I mean. I'm talking about the trend of sacrificing utility to shave practically microns off an already very thin machine. Shaving another 1mm off the thinness of the MacBook Pro isn't going to matter a jot to anyone.
