    Just a tip to not put all the vents on the right side in future builds.

    I understand how you feel. I'm sure all V1 owners would have wished a vent on the left or back, instead of the right side. Then the laptop would be even closer to being a perfect notebook.

    Well, they've got to put the battery somewhere, and if its not at the back, there will be no possibility of a larger capacity battery. In addition, if you've seen the docking station, I believe it'd interfer with the back, perhaps blocking the fan, etc.

    Yeah the right side exhaust sucks...erm, or blows rather. :p

    It wouldn't be a problem if I mainly used the trackpad, but I use a mouse probably 98% of the time...wether I'm at home or on the road.

    Also something else I noticed on my w3j that could pose an aggrivation in the future is the expresscard slot is on the right side, I'd prefer that on the left as well.

    Ideally, it would be nice if the exhaust vent and video port were in the back, but as coriolis pointed out, the battery has to go somewhere.
