Suggestion for Macbook Pro

Question

The DVD slot on MacBook Pro's should be relocated to the left side, as most users are right handed. When disks are automatically ejected, they sometimes hit the users right wrist and can cause a re-insertion. Just a suggestion for design improvement.

Answer 1

It could be a problem if people are using the outdated method of dragging discs to the Trash, which puts your wrist down by the slot. But there is not a problem if you use the much faster method of pressing the Eject key or Command-E. Even clicking the little eject icon in the Finder sidebar has less of a chance of putting your wrist there, because a problem with dragging to the Trash is that you are guaranteed to be pulling your wrist down to the lower right corner by the drive slot.
Another possible cause of the problem is that people may be using un-ergonomic laptop technique, letting their wrists fall to the keyboard. You are supposed to hold your hands above the keyboard so that you don't have a bend at your wrist, which can cause carpal tunnel. Since my hands are above the keyboard, there is no chance that an ejecting disk will hit them. I think that's why no ejecting disk has ever hit my wrist.
