Does the thinness of your computer really matter?

  To some people. I have an Air. I love it. It's small, It's light, It can fit anywhere. It takes up about as much room as a folder in my backpack, which is awesome for air travel, the more I can get in my carry ons, the less I'm paying for baggage.

  When you've got to carry it, yes.

  You know we are talking about laptops, right ? By definition they are supposed to be portable.

  YES. It's a laptop. If you can't sacrifice the screen size, where else do you trim the fat? thinner = less mass = less weight = portability. A laptop is designed to be a portable machine, no? Desktops however, I do not care if there is a massive tower under my desk. I don't move it unless I'm plugging in something new, or upgrading components.

  No, unless you carry it around a lot, at which point durability is more important than thinness resulting in thinness not being important. So ultimately, no it's not regardless of the use case.
