Thickening it won't work because reviewers will then complain it's too thick.

I've used thicker laptops for years and had no problem whatsoever with them in that time.

I suppose that there's some theoretical thickness where a laptop becomes unergonomic, but my desktop's keyboard is far thicker than my laptop's, and it's got no constraints other than being ergonomic.

Is someone using some kind of incredibly-thin carrying case? I haven't seen that. I throw my laptop in a laptop backpack. It could be probably at least three times thicker and still fit in that.

Thick isn't a problem for bags (up to a point). It's reviewers complaining about it and deducting stars that's the problem.
