You guys who are worried the thing won't open are missing the point. You can stack 4 or 5 of these anorexics together, and you're still thin. ONE of them is bound to open right.
For travel, nobody would want a thin notebook. No matter what it was made of, it would bend. Sooner or later, it would happen. The better computer to travel with is simply smaller, and more stout, like the Eee group that fit sideways into a day-pack (not even giving a thief a guess).
Of course, owners of the superthins will likely carry them in nice fat cases, maybe even bulkier cases just to protect their skin-and-bones computers inside. And a like-TOHtally-thin computer won't look chic with a thin woman; sleek ladies look best with funky-chunky purses and bags for peripheral adornments. Clearly these new thinsters are for spy work--you can slide one under the door and walk away, pulling your hat down and your trenchcoat collar up, and no one will be the wiser.
Er--you know, of course, that these are NTFS-only. What, you really thought you could use them with FAT32?
