does anyone know what exactly this means? What I want to know is what configurations lead to a thin MacBook Air and what configurations lead to a fat one. A difference of 4x in thickness is huge.

0.41 at the tapering edge where the trackpad is, and 1.61 at the end where display hinge is.

The taper is my favorite feature of the Air. Very comfortable typing experience with the sloped keyboard.
