Here's an idea for laptop manufacturers: don't use a case. Just cover all the components with a silicon coat.
[TheAge]Dell to Apple: anything you can do, we can do thinner
Did a search couldn't find it.
Quote:
Dell enters the ultra-thin notebook race today with the launch of the Adamo, from the Latin for "to fall in love with". The aluminum-body laptop comes in two colours, "onyx" and "pearl" and prices start at $3699. It boasts a 13-inch screen and, with a depth of less than two-thirds of an inch, is thinner than both Apple's 0.76-inch MacBook Air and Hewlett-Packard Co.'s 0.7-inch Voodoo Envy notebook. Dell, known for affordable, no-frills computers, leaned away from consumer-electronics tropes and toward the seductive imagery of couture as it designed a marketing campaign to fit the Adamo. |

When image and style is an important to your work.
Believe it or not, a good image can sway (not the primary reason) a hotly contested business contract. You never want to employ or outsource to someone that looks like a bum!

$3699 is Australian Dollar. By today's dollar 3,699.00 AUD = 2,547.87 USD
.... which is still a strech from $1999 but yeah, you get the point.
