It is fine to have the electrical outlet at one’s house or work under the desk, yet I think that all of us who move notebook computers around would agree that having one on the desk surface or on the wall above the desk makes it easier to connect and disconnect when necessary.
It is poor design to have the electrical outlet in a hotel room be under a desk. It is ridiculous to actually have to move the flippin’ desk in order to get to the outlet. Yet one could assume that the person will likely be in the room for several days and that the initial inconvenience is not so bad.
It is unbelievably stupid to have the electrical outlet be under the desk in the business area of an airline lounge. The average time a person spends at the desk is likely less than an hour, and yet there we are in suits or business skirts hunched over trying not to swear while we fumble around in the darkness under the desk trying to get juice. Why? The wall unit and desk are made of the same material, so they were installed together. I guess the architects and interior designers still use rulers, a compass, and slide rules in order to get their work done. Someone really ought to introduce them to the concept of a computer.
