Any thinner than 9mm is pointless and 12mm is fine. This has been studied,
The Super Thin laptops, phones, tablets and TV edges are stupid marketing.
On TVs it means no decent sound without external speakers, yet most can only use an expensive amp, no simple speaker socket costing 40c that disconnects internal speaker no better than a laptop one.

I do agree that making a device too thin means giving up something. Apple gave up the headphone jack on the iPhone, TVs give up speaker quality, Readers give up being easy to hold without a case. The thing is, for a lot of people, too thin means not easy to hold be it a reader, phone, etc.
