Heh.
My work laptop is a Dell Latitude E7470. About 1.4kg. Many ports (3x USB, HDMI, MiniDP, SD). Long battery. 1080p screen. Neat little docking station. Nice keyboard.
Pretty sweet.
And no sharp edges.
New Pixel phones on October 4.

This "thinness über alles!" meme that's infected every IT hardware designer's brain is such utter BS

But, a sharp-edged 1.83kg laptop vs a 2.02 kg rounder one is a wash... Or a win for the heavier one.

Waterproofing would have made the jack even bigger.
