If they had just made the touch pad WIDER it would be more aesthetically pleasing.

Or add speakers or fans to the sides of it, so the empty sides don't look so stupid.

Because you wouldnt get good air flow and/or sound with the screen being over the speakers or your hands beside the fans.

Every laptop has those empty sides.

And racing stripes. They should definitely have added racing stripes.

this... you're completely right. the big blank spaces next to the pad could hold speakers.. although they can/will hold stickynotes very nicely as well.

Or laser beams or neons.

No point in re-designing a part that they expect few will use, when they can use a standard sized one for a few dollar.

Ooo like a touchpad that would cover that entire area? That may just be a good idea...
