At least many notebook manufacuters think so. Why else do they find the need to put their track-pads off-center toward the left side of the computer? Oh, it could also be they expect everyone's left hand is (visibly) smaller than their right.

Which brings me to a related point. Why is it that 99% of notebooks are still designed with inferior enclosures (plastics, bezels, keyboards, ports, fastening hardware, latches, buttons, etc..) than Apple was using in 1997? This isn't intended to be an Apple-advocacy message, but I just find it unreal that the likes of Toshiba, HP, Dell, etc. produce notebooks of sujch craptastic quality, at all price points. Even the venerable IBM brand (before Lenovo) was nothing to write home about excepting its svelt profile.

Every couple of days a new notebook hits the street and it's the same mistakes over and over again.
