asked on

Left handed laptop

Does anyone make a left handed laptop? I bought a wireless mouse but still my left hand (which holds the mouse) gets burnt from being right next to the fan exhaust.

Could I simply reverse the fan direction so the hot air went out the other side?

No.  Get a Bluetooth mouse (Mine is a Logitech M535 and it works great - no issue) .  Use it what ever way you wish. Mine in on the right side and the Fan does not blow there. Perfect solution

This is ludicrous. If you ask a question and then view it there is a ruddy big bell symbol so of course I clicked on it. So now I have complained about slow response because of the bloody big bell end graphic whilst the question is trivial and almost guaranteed to be NO.
You just move the Bluetooth mouse to a position that does not blow fan exhaust on you.

But then it id on the wrong side of the screen for me to control it easily/
Then you need a laptop that runs cool and exhausts out the bottom.

I think I have a simpler solution, hinge laptop out fully, turn upside-down and prop up on a lectern, flip screen and use a USB keyboard.
Things right handers do not have to think about....

I have an Asus laptop and the fan is in the back.  In any case, on the desktop, I use a wireless keyboard and mouse with an external monitor so the laptop acts as a second screen.  When using it standalone, I find it easier using the mouse pad.
We use Dameware remote desktop software to do tech support over the network, and we have a couple of left-handers who swap the buttons on their mouse. It'll drive you nuts when you first connect.
