:)) 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.
