And I don't know if this is a small point, but while another portable  
might be lighter, the design of the edges give it a very sleek look,  
which is to say, it isn't just a light object, but the shape and  
proportions convey the lightness, and that's something you don't see  
elsewhere. People who scoff at the "smallest edge" dimension because  
it's just a taper, and anything tapered can come to a point, are  
missing that the profile tapers to that edge with an elegant gentle  
curve. It will be interesting to see the insides and what they had to  
do to achieve that shallow curve.
