Re:HP's Spectre 13.3 laptop is as thin as an AAA battery by Brendinooo on Tuesday April 05, 2016 @11:49AM (#11431349)
I think thinness and lightness makes devices more usable. I currently own a 2007 MacBook Pro and a Dell XPS 13 (2014 I think), and the difference in traveling with them is so much more significant than I ever would have guessed before getting the XPS.

Thin and light go hand-in-hand too; speaking in generalities, one probably begets the other.

And, as the tech gets smaller and lighter, it can go in more places. I have to think that Apple's obsession with thinness on the iPhone led to the Watch (which receives criticism for...being too thick).

I have a Lenovo T450s and Yoga 2. The Yoga 2 is probably half the thickness of the T450s but weights about twice as much. I prefer carrying the T450s.
