Battery life and increased battery life are almost always a feature that is marketed by laptop manufacturers. On the Macbook Pro one of the key features being marketed is "up to 10 hours of battery life". I guess you may mean that making it thinner increases the "sleek look" and visual appeal?

While a lot of people clearly care about it, I'm just saying that the selling power of visual, tacile aspects of these products is much greater than almost anything else.
