@ryo Well, it could be much smaller if it didn't have a full size keyboard, but more of a 75% keyboard, and if it didn't have the touchpad on the right (it looks like it's also a numpad?). And the extra vertical space I guess is just so that the screen doesn't end up with really silly proportions. Ridiculously wide, but very short. That's my assumption.

And it would do even better in Japan, because it would be even more of a Chad move to use that in public. Though it could be better, it could also have multiple monitors that fold out.
