Homestly, old Macbooks/Powerbooks from as far back as the mid 2000s are still so sleek. Like, who gives a fuck if they’re .4mm thicker, who doesn’t prefer that?
Nah, the bottom two are too thick. They could get it thinner while still keeping the ports though, except maybe the ethernet port.
Bottom part of a ethernet port can be below the shell if you design it right because the connectors are all on top. I've had several laptops like this.
There also was fold-out Ethernet ports, like this laptop, or the pop-out PCMCIA cards
I've literally never felt that a laptop that wasn't designed to be a "desktop replacement" was too thick.
Apple finally wised up a bit with the M1+ laptops. They gave us most ports back (other than RJ45 sadly) and made it thicker.
