I believe computers, and by evolutionary extension - laptops, are designed to be used by homo sapiens. You know, that annoying species of hairless apes.

So judging by the anatomy of the intended users, why can designers think it is ok to place insertion slots and jacks all by the sides? When those are the places where people tend to put their hands, mice, notes???

I am sorry but perhaps I don't possess the 30" wide shoulders that would have me spreading my array of equipment in reasonable distance. And then also requiring me to buy a new desk altogether.

I know real estate is at a premium when it comes to laptop chassis designs. But. Please. Keep the sides clean. Be smart like some and fit rarely accessed features like media drives, and know how to take full advantage of the front panel.

Or, are there any technical challenges in situating jacks and ports in a diagonal fashion?

What would be nice are USB ports not at the side of the keyboard,but at the side of the monitor, that would still keep the ports at the side which fits the position of our hands, but also keep it away from the mouse.

Yes there are such monitors in the market.
