Agreed. It's like Apple has some sort of eating disorder where they are obsessed with thin-ness beyond reason.

It certainly makes sense to make a portable computer as thin and light as possible. But I never carry my iMac around and, sitting in front of it, I can't tell whether it is 5mm or 5cm.

I'd love for them to add a small battery to keep it running a half and hour on a power outage. Or upgradable RAM, disk, etc.

Really, I think the issue is they want them to be like televisions. Nobody upgrades a television, they just go out and buy a new own.
