There's a big design flaw with my laptop

I didn't notice it at first but the fact that the USB ports are on the bottom right of the laptop are very annoying.

At first glance it's a good idea because it's closer to you so it's easer to plug things in. But the thing is I don't like using the touch pad so I use a mouse. I'm also right-handed. So every time I use the mouse it hits against whatever I have plugged in, knocking it out.

It's really annoying.
