"Extremely thin" is pretty low on my list of features I want.

If making it a bit thicker gives me ethernet and HDMI then make it thicker. A laptop moves from place to place, and not needing dongles / specialist cables makes it far easier to jump on anybodies desk and just plug in.

Exactly. And most laptops are thick enough if they remove the stupid curve that makes them look thinner than they are. I've even seen laptops with a flip down RJ-45 port so it can maintain the profile.
