I understand having it when it's a button near the monitor, or some kind of function+f# combo
but why do they put switches on the front of a laptop that kills the internet?

ranting aside, anyone else have experience with accidentally killing their connection?
Not all of them are in the front but it's for "ease of access". you can thank the occasional tester who has the IQ of a houseplant and couldn't find it when it was on the side or as a function key.

i had great success killing my connection; i went 4 stories underground.

and what the above says is true; keep it off tummy. you'll block vents and help it overheat
