The problem isn't the thickness at the middle of the laptop, it's that it's all chamfered at the edges, which significantly reduces the thickness there, and makes an ethernet port unable to fit. It's the physical industrial design that's the problem.
My unibody MBP has a similar bevel to it, and it fits an ethernet port just fine. It looks like maybe the jack would have to extend down a tiny bit into the beveled area on the new design. What an unthinkable tragedy that would be!
Apple didn't use to have this problem of function following form.
Oh, I dunno about that...
Look at all the ports they left off that thing to showcase the sexy woodgrain finish! I don't even see a USB on there!
