Thin and light are highly desirable features for laptops. This is why the best selling laptops are thin and light. It has nothing at all to do with being trendy. >> Lithium Ion batteries are basically slow-discharge bombs. > > not really. Oh yes, really. That is why there are very strict limits on how large batteries can be for devices that might be on airplanes and is exactly why the Samsung Galaxy Note was banned. A Li-ion battery is basically a bag of unstable chemicals which is exploding very very slowly. If anything speeds that process uo, bad things happen. -- Apple broke AppleScripting signatures in Mail.app, so no random signatures. _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
