 ok.  i've been investigating these at work, they're awesome:

 i think, to be honest, extra batteries can be external, such as
these.   i really don't want to push the thickness beyond 6mm for the
base, nor put in extra weight, because if you've looked at the specs
here they're actually f*****g awesome.

 a) i see no reason (other than bigger batteries) why this 15in laptop
needs to be more than 12mm thick
 b) i see no reason why (thanks to benson's idea) it should be more
than 1kg in weight.

yes, really.  under 1kg.  a 15in laptop.  with floor space around 14in
x 12 in and with an interchangeable upgradeable CPU Card making it
future-proof.  and being able to take a 1920x1080 LCD.

i'm kinda confused.  why isn't any other manufacturer doing this??
what are we missing??
