Michael,
This article has something wrong with it. I have never heard of a manufacturer saying, "we're going to send you a tablet...but they're all different so hopefully you'll be the lucky one!" it's just not reasonable. I think you need to do a little more research before posting these ideas of yours imo.

Actually Zhenghua, BigWave is correct. If an OEM will sell a product as long as there is no spec changes or reasonable or negligible customer impact then there is no need to specify who the lucky winners of this "change" will be. But thickness and brightness are specs related changes so I agree there is something fishy about the story.
