With a widescreen laptop display, moving the taskbar to the left or right edge of the screen instead of having it at the bottom, gives your windows more vertical space. But when the taskbar is on the left or right edge, the Start button is always at the top. When you click the Start button, if you then want to click on "All Programs", you have to move the pointer a long distance downwards. It would make sense for the position of the Start button to be customizable, so that you could choose to have it at the bottom instead of the top.
The only way I've found to be able to change the color of scrollbars in Windows 7 from that boring gray-blue color, is to choose the Windows Classic theme, and then to customize the colors. I wish I could have Aero and have colorful scrollbars (etc.) at the same time.

Using my laptop in conjunction with a regular wireless keyboard, I noticed myself leaning forward over the table a lot, in order to see the screen better. But I came up with a solution. I now have the laptop sitting on a large dictionary, with the front edge of the laptop sticking out over the edge of the dictionary. This way I can move the laptop closer to me, partially *over* my regular keyboard. It also raises the laptop display up so that I don't have to look down as far to see the screen.
I tried hooking up the laptop to my desktop's LCD monitor, since the monitor is larger than the laptop's display. But the screen doesn't look good when displayed on the monitor, like the laptop isn't able to output a high enough resolution to look good on the monitor.
