    Any Left-Handed Mouse users out there that own an XPS15 or XPS17?

    My main question is, does the position of the heat vent cause any discomfort while gaming?

    It seems the vent is right where my hand would be while using a mouse.

    It will if you hold your mouse directly to the top left side but the bottom part of the vent doesn't get too bad so you should be fine. 1 way of solving this would be to get a cooler like the one i have (Zalman nc3000) as this will not only cool it but raise it aswell stopping the vent from interferring.
