    I never understand why manufacturers put the wireless switch on the edges. Lenovo, Dell, and HP do this, and it is a PITA. It is prone to being accidentally turned off when being put in bags, moved, etc.

    It's a "power" function - it should be next to the power button, which is usually somewhere on the inside/keyboard side of a laptop.
