- Do not put headphone and mic slots on the panel that faces towards you from at the forward base of the laptop. Ergonomics aside, a lot of laptop users like to keep laptops on their stomachs, wear headphones and watch movies. It ruins headphone jacks.
- Please do not put ethernet or USB connectors(unless there are alternative options at the back) on the right hand side of a laptop(no offense to left handed people here, I'd prefer these things to be at the back anyways). Lan Cables, external HDD connecters, mice cables, etc can really get in the way of your mouse if you're into gaming.
- Putting 2 more dollars worth of material into laptop hinges. I've broken mine twice, they cripple an otherwise really great machine. Mine broke both times in half where the back screw is inserted. It might make sense making this part tougher.
- Putting indicator lights at a more viewable place, (HDD, battery, power, etc).Maybe at the side of the screen rather at the base, that would make increase visibility.
- Anti RSI keyboards, I wonder why most good laptops still have keyboard layouts still on a square grid pattern.

on #1 ... in my case the front panel wire keeps getting in my way and there have been a few times when i was listening to really loud heavy metal while at work and the damn wire got caught and got pulled out and suddenly my music is blasting away in an otherwise hushed office. I have to be super careful now while moving or moving stuff around with the front panel headphone jack
Dayem. Why dont things like that happen to people at my office :D.
