Being left-handed, I appreciate the location of the whiteboard; however, I can see that positioning being a PITA for the majority of the population.
I'm left handed. That desk is useless.
Users can choose a left or right setup, and opt to remove any of the available features like the ventilation holes, dry erase board, display docks, mousepad, or drink holder.
I actually went to the website and the only thing I saw as being reconfigurable for left vs. right was the position of the mousepad. Perhaps it's implied that this also shifts the location of the whiteboard. Problem is that if you shift the mousepad to make room for the whiteboard on the right, then you've got left-handed mouse location. So you're screwed either way. Perhaps you saw something different, but this was my take.
Some people seem deeply offended by this desk :s
if it comes in standing height I'll take two.

if you had read the article you would've known that you can order it in any configuration you'd like. that means if you don't want holes you don't get holes.
some people might want them or need them. don't be so narrow-minded.

people would say the same thing about macs and iOS devices.

yeah... there's this thing called individuality? you know. we don't all think the same as you. (thankfully)
I would just keep dropping stuff through the holes.. Anyway doesn't the air on a MacBook circulate through the keyboard, back and on the retinas the sides? What's the point of having the bottom with loads of space when its just a metal plate? Plus the MacBook is elevated as much as it needs to be already... Ugh
I'd feel like such a tool sitting at that desk.
Looks like a bowling alley score table - add an ash tray and you're good to go.
