When Apple based their keynotes on how this device is "xxx THIN" instead of "xxx THICK"... that really pushed the god-awful trend of making devices thinner at all costs when I never had a problem pocketing my smart phone or bagging my netbook before Apple declared all others to be too thick. I miss having laptops I could actually easily work on and know that it wasn't going to hit thermal throttling due to the lack of fans or proper sized heatsinks. In the end, people started paying more for things that were built more cheaply. Thinness from Apple wasn't about being sleek and sexy, it was about reducing material costs first and foremost. Surprised that part of it all was completely missed by reviewers. I still think they went too easy on Apple with regards to the iPhone 6 bendgate issue. It, at most, was "oh no, it bends..." and not "What the shit, Apple? You're reducing the aluminum to such thin layers that it's no longer structurally supportive?!" And what do we see now? Soldered in back glass pieces. Not glued. *SOLDERED.* Environmentally friendly, my ass.
