\nGadgets are getting too thin, again. <\/p>\n

These past few weeks saw some of the latest victims of the seemingly unending drive towards making our devices as thin as possible, no matter the consequences. Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus<\/a> \u2014 what will undoubtedly be some of the most popular Android phones of the year \u2014 are thinner than last year\u2019s models and held back by disappointing battery life. The new Dell XPS 15<\/a> is \u201cexceptionally thin and light\u201d but barely lasts four hours on a charge and runs nearly as hot as the sun. And the OnePlus 10 Pro<\/a> is a flagship smartphone that can somehow be snapped in half with your bare hands. <\/p>\n
It seems that despite over a decade of chasing the thinnest, lightest phones and computers around to the detriment of battery life, cooling, and durability, companies still haven\u2019t learned their lessons. <\/p>\n
\n<\/aside>\nThe science here is not complicated. All other things being equal, putting a bigger battery \u2014 broadly speaking \u2014 into your phone or laptop means that you\u2019ll be able to get more battery life out of it. A bigger laptop has more room to keep it cool. And if your device is thicker, it is harder to break it in half. <\/p>\n
Obviously, that can vary a huge amount by the specifics of hardware, software, firmware, and a myriad of other factors (one of the reasons why Apple\u2019s iPhones have smaller batteries than their flagship Android counterparts but are still competitive on battery life). But generally, if you take identical hardware running identical software to two different batteries, the one that\u2019s got the larger battery pack will win. <\/p>\n\n  <\/p>\n    <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nAnd yet, manufacturers are still chasing the dragon of making the thinnest, lightest device. Dynabook just announced its Port\u00e9g\u00e9 X40L-K<\/a>, which aims to be one of the lightest 14-inch laptops ever \u2014 but that weight has to come from somewhere.<\/p>\n
But it doesn\u2019t have to be this way. Yes, lighter and thinner devices are good, but as with everything in life, there\u2019s balance. Take one of the biggest worshippers at the altar of thinness: Apple.<\/p>\n
\nIt doesn\u2019t have to be this way<\/q><\/aside>\n<\/div>\nApple spent years full of attempts to slim down its laptops by any means necessary: swapping in its thinner (and absurdly fragile) butterfly switches<\/a> or excising ports in favor of an all USB-C setup. All this at the same time it was trying to pack even more powerful (and power-hungry) parts and bigger, better displays into its computers. And ultimately, the company\u2019s laptops were worse off for it. <\/p>\n
But the company finally caught on, first removing the butterfly switches to go back to the bulkier scissor switches and then going even bigger<\/em> and heavier<\/em> with its 2021 redesign. The latest 16-inch MacBook Pro<\/a> is almost 9 percent heavier than the old model and thicker to boot, despite the fact that Apple\u2019s new Arm-based chips take up less space than its old Intel CPUs and discrete GPUs. Apple could have gone thinner, but it chose not to. Instead, it made a laptop that\u2019s a little thicker but also one of the best laptops we\u2019ve ever used, with battery life and cooling that no other computer on the market can touch.<\/p>\n

    <\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\nOr take last year\u2019s iPhone 13 lineup. 2021\u2019s models were thicker and heavier<\/a> across the board than the iPhone 12 lineup from 2020, largely due to Apple conceding that customers wanted phones that could last a full day on a charge and putting in bigger batteries. It worked<\/a> \u2014 and the iPhone 13 was a far better device for it, despite being a few fractions of a millimeter and a few grams bigger. Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S22, on the other hand, made a starkly different choice, making its latest phones incrementally thinner but with worse battery life.<\/p>\n
But tech\u2019s race to the bottom is a losing game in the end. Even if you could make a laptop as thin as a few sheets of paper, the battery life would burn out quicker than a matchstick, too (while getting almost as hot). And if you could somehow manage to solve the first two issues, the tradeoffs in the fragility of such a product would instantly doom it anyway.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s time for consumer tech\u2019s cult of thinness to come to an end so that the phones and computers of the future can move on \u2014 literally \u2014 to bigger and better things. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
