Too Clean – the mini-Display port/Thunderbolt connector on the (user’s) right of the MacbookAir is not there, if the MagSafe power is connected to the left side its cable is bent back behind a an extreme angle.

The user must be ambidextrous, using the touch pad with their left hand and mouse with their right. This is not a talent most of us come by naturally.

I’m struggling to create a very similar setup (no iPad and 23″ – non-Mac display) I have cables out both sides of the MacbookAir and not able to find a track pad placement which does not tend to have me subconsciously leaning in my wrists to both type and point.

Any more practical suggestions?

I agree it looks pretty and clean, and I ENVY the 27″ Thunderbolt display!

I use the pad ALL the time with my left hand even though I am right handed. You can get used to use the pad with your left hand quicker than you might imaging;) Try it.

well, it looks nice but where did you hide the mouse pad for your magic mouse? The mouse will not work on a glass surface at all.

@Titony no the Magic Mouse is not working on glass, but I have not found a nice mousepad yet.

@Fradrok I’m left handed, and works for me. And yes, forgot the power cords to hide.

Am I the only one annoyed that the photographer didn’t take two seconds to hide the power cord?

And how the heck do people use the trackpad with their left hand?

Fun pic!

Am I crazy or do I just see a bunch of Macs on a glass table?

What am I missing here?
