Dimensions

Just to give an idea of what the size should be before I continue with the interface design, I looked towards the 13" macbook for dimensions guidance. I also looked at the macbook pro (13 inch).

We will still use the 12.78 width as a guide, and depth of 9.82 (from macbook pro)
However, we can shave an inch of the depth, as the webcam will be at the side, not the top:


Because of this our depth should be around 8.82, it might even be less.

At 12.78, this width accommodates a typical keyboard width of 10.37 inches, leaving over an inch grip on each side (1.205).

As for height, we could reduce this from 0.95" as there is not lid to flip up. The height would be dependant on the height required of the ports and charger, so this could be substantially thinner than 0.95.

Next up: interface design!
