Re: Newer stuff that isn't better
The kernels are close enough driver wise that it works.
Regarding Laptop design- they still make such "ugly" units... Ever hear of business class laptops? The Dell latitudes (minus the d5xx units) are made from magnesium... IMHO that trumps Thick plastic. They are not purposely uglified but they are designed to be other durable and easily repairable.
The other stuff is consumer crap that is marketed to sell to those who are not interested in "ugly" units. If people want it, people will buy it. If people don't want it, they won't buy it. It's as simple as that.
