I believe you inquired about our laptops some time back as we literally had nothing the laptop section and were told that we were working on replacing an older generation when you reached out.
We probably told you industry norms were working against us. Basically the industry has migrated to design choices that are pretty terrible and while we could get around them it would take more energy and capital to do deviate from those bad choices.
For instance the wireless antenna on most newer laptops is placed under the laptop rather than in the screen. This interferes with the reception so using the laptop at a distance from the access point can be problematic.
Touchpads that are designed to look good, but don't function well. Well, we've got a model with physical buttons now alongside multi-touch support so you can get the best of both worlds. At least in terms of functionality and usability. Though I'll admit it might not look quite as pretty- at least the laptop is still a very thin portable awesome looking unit.
There will probably be a video coming out this week demonstrating the new model.
