Why would it have to be bulky and heavy? Someone else mentioned this to me when I said something about making laptops standard. I must be missing something.

Why not just make standard hardware thin so it'd be slim? All ya gotta do is specify "mobos will be this dimension, cases will be .5" tall. HDs will fit in the back, yadda yadda".

The result is whatever you make the standard to be. If they can make mini (or was it micro?) atx cases for the PVR PCs and have them fit into slim cases while maintaining full functionality as a PC, then there's no reason to make it shorter and wider for a laptop.
