Nah, the bottom two are too thick. They could get it thinner while still keeping the ports though, except maybe the ethernet port.

Bottom part of a ethernet port can be below the shell if you design it right because the connectors are all on top. I've had several laptops like this.

There also was fold-out Ethernet ports, like this laptop, or the pop-out PCMCIA cards

I've literally never felt that a laptop that wasn't designed to be a "desktop replacement" was too thick.
