I will not buy a laptop or a keyboard without a numpad. Canโ€™t type numbers quickly on the top row. I guess there are more like me.

    Yeah horses for courses right?

    I donโ€™t mind numpads per say - on a desktop keyboard itโ€™s fine, I guess. Even I personally wonโ€™t be using them, at least they donโ€™t get too much in the way. I can touch type numbers just fine on the top row. I donโ€™t like to move my hands from the home row if I can help it, least of all for numeric input. And I also hate offset typing, feels like driving a car with the pedals off to one side of your seat, bad ergo.

    But I guess if numpads on laptops are your thing, itโ€™s great for you.

    I also want the numpads. I read somewhere that if you have a French keyboard, it is a must to have it. I donโ€™t remember why.

    :)) It was a French who mentioned it. I thought there was a reason beyond just preference. Even so, people can prefer whatever they want. There are so many types of keyboards. Slimbook offers a lot of layouts. If someone wants one without the numpad, maybe should write an email snd maybe they can get it. I recently ordered a laptop from there snd I had a lot of back snd forth in the emails with them, because I needed their advice to decide. They are very helpful.
