I'd be so glad to own a laptop where the touch pad became unnecessary and got removed. I'm a laptop-only user, and the padding between the keys and the closer edge of the laptop is a source of pain for me, as it forces me to place my lower arm at the edge of the computer, which causes my lower forearm and carpus to hurt. A 15-inch laptop can be built with a keyboard that begins from the closest edge of the device's bottom, and the space between the screen joint and the end of the keyboard can be filled with... I don't know, a couple of large speakers and dedicated media buttons? A phone charging unit? A coffee holder. But such layout would definitely help my wrists and arms.
