With every new iteration of the MacBook, Apple makes its laptops lighter and thinner. But is this actually a good thing?

As this video explains, shaving millimeters off the profile of a MacBook has created a range of issues. And for what? Nothing that MacBook owners actually asked for.

Apple has a pathological need to make its devices smaller, thinner, and more aesthetically pleasing. But this is often at the expense of practicality.

As has been said many times before, Apple products are often style over and substance. And the only way to stop the rot may be to start making MacBooks thicker again.
