Why don't laptop manufacturers center the touchpad?
>>
Because it's aligned with the keyboard excluding numpad

because laptops have something called form>function

keyboard center is between G and H

so with the touchpad there you dont rest the right wrist on it

Muh ergonomics

I'm right hand dominant, and have the same laptop in OP's pic because dell's payment plan was the only way I could get a laptop.

The way it is allows me to comfortable rest my right arm on the laptop rather than having it partially off the keyboard so, whatever.

Works good for me.

No, look at its position in relation to the space bar. This is a trackpad centered on the keyboard but not on the case

For right handed people, having the touchpad slightly to the left is much more ergonomic and gives your right hand more room especially when typing

Here's the real answer

It's aligned with F and J, the resting keys for your index fingers if you know touchtyping like a proper human being

This is a new rig, and I use a regular mouse. I was just curious why the shit isn't centered

Tech companies run by crusty old men and engineers who have no social intelligence. So they don't know or care about consumers' needs.
