First off, a number pad is really not even in the running as something any laptop less than 17&quot; should even have, so bringing it up is a bit silly here.<p>But, I would not really have an issue with there being laptops that don&#x27;t have them if it weren&#x27;t for the fact that it has become a near universal trait of laptops, even when there&#x27;s plenty of bezel to accommodate them.<p>Some of us <i>do</i> use those keys, and having that option would be nice.
