So, what will happen is that then someone else will come out with a laptop that's even slimmer. But there will come a point when they have just got to stop, because the key thing to remember is that people actually like to use laptops so there is no point making it so thin, so light and tiny that it becomes unusable\"\u003cbr/\u003eAP Television\u003cbr/\u003eSan Francisco, United States  - Jan 15 2008 \u003cbr/\u003e14.
