I don't think you know what "exceeding the goal" means. This wasn't expected to be a perfect, smooth flight with a soft landing - it was the very first flight of an incomplete version of an all new design, and the succes criterium was simply "getting liftoff". And by that standard, it was a huge success!

See, I've heard that argument before, but seriously: Who buys 12-17 inch TVs? It might explain the change to 16:9 in the 20-odd inch category, but I really can't see how it is relevant for laptops. Can someone explain: Is there some part of the production apparatus that is shared between the different screen sizes? Or is it just to make the screens seem bigger than they are, and for bragging about "Full HD resolution"?
