S/O to Gizmodo reviewing the new MacBook. The laptop gets thinner and thinner and all I can wonder is if Apple has ever heard of the law of diminishing returns? 

Do you remember this phone? I didn’t own one but around that time I had work in the retail cellphone industry. It was a hot phone. People loved it. It sold lots. It was smaller thinner and lighter then previous phones. Until they used it for a while.  We began to have to worry about something that we didn’t PRE-Razor. Durability of the phone. The Nokia 5150’s of the cell phone world could be dropped a bunch of times and they weren’t breaking. But the razor. Put that bad boy in the wrong pocket and you had an broken something in your pocket.

My point is this. With laptops I believe we have hit the point of diminishing returns. You are no longer seeing the value quantified that you would like from making a thinner and lighter laptop. Now you are sacrificing the durability of laptop. And the likelihood that it will break from a small drop is higher.

Personally what I want from a laptop as far as progression. Is for it to be faster, have more storage, and FOR THE BATTERY TO LAST LONGER. Can we apply some effort to some battery tech please.
