Right, there’s definitely a threshold… but we’re not anywhere near it. Like I said I have the FW13, and my wife has a similar sized Dell XPS. There’s less than half an inch difference. The Dell has almost no bezel… and fingerprints on the display all along the edge from having to open and close it. And the bezel on the top of the FW has hardware switches for disabling the mic and webcam which is probably why it’s bigger in the first place.
Lived in California (SoCal and Bay Area) my entire 42 years.
No, we don’t.
There was a short, planned outage in my neighborhood (San Diego suburbs) last summer - we got a few days notice (can’t recall if it was a letter or an email). Didn’t have one the summer before that. I don’t recall any power outages when I lived in the Bay Area.
