On this subject - I am honestly curious. What kind of design do people prefer for laptops?

The majority of all non-Apple laptops have "slants" and are not evenly thick, but is this due to market demand, or something else?

For this reason, I want to run a poll. If you had the choice, would you rather choose an evenly thick laptop with no slants, or one with slants?

Feel free to reply with your reasoning.

Boosts for visibility are much appreciated 🙏
