If the directional and controller buttons were at the top (as opposed to the bottom) they would be easily accessible when the laptops are held vertically, which would be very useful for the hand-held mode. Given the rotation of the screen, they would be optimal for both left and right handers. It's crucial that the buttons remap when the screen rotates (eg. the triangle becomes right -instead of up- when in portrait layout with the bottom of the screen near the controller buttons).
