Most attempts I've seen have been on the very small size (netbook-like), so there should be room up from there? Given how many "traditionally shaped" laptops are still sold I'm not sure the demand for lighter and thinner actually affects attempts at open-source ones, especially since initial adopters are going to be compromising anyways.

Part of the critique in the article was form factor mass and bulk (compute was the other part). The standard for the critique was rooted more in how laptops are marketed than in human physiology.
