alt Hacker News>Perhaps for you, but I very much care about my laptop's size and especially it's weight, as I carry it around on a daily basis.
Thinner devices need more solid enforcement to stay stiff. My Thinkpad X60s weighs the same as a Macbook Air and it's infinitely more upgradable.
The post you replied to literally doesn't care about upgrades. More enforcement also doesn't matter if its what you need to get specifically _what was asked for_, which is a thinner device in this case. I also wouldn't like an X60 if it meant I have to leave things out of my bag.
