xtrabit racing Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Now i am using HP dv6000 and very happy with its keyboard. I am looking for a new HP laptop, but all of them have numpad on their keyboard. Arrow keys are small, keyboard not centered because of numpad keys, etc. What do you think?

+jamesyfx Subscriber² Posted October 13, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted October 13, 2009 Most laptops have numpads. Either a physical one, or one which is enabled by holding the Fn key and using the right side of the keyboard. Some don't though. Like mine. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyehac Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I bought my gaming laptop because it had a right numpad. Then again, I have a seperate numpad I got for my previous laptop, so I can use that on any laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revvo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 uh, my laptop has the numpad with the function key enabled, but I rarely use it anyway.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawkMan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 All 16:9 15+ inch laptops have them now, some 16:10 15 inchs. and from 16 and up all laptops pretty much have them today. and yes they're a feature. Also my toshiba (though it's a fairly big 17 inch) has decent sized arrow keys. don't know why you care about the arrow keys though, there's pretty much nothing you use arrow keys for anymore. unless you're one of the three people in the world who still insists on playing with arrow keys instead of WASD.

The_Wizard Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I prefer having keyboards with the numpad, without is just annoying if you're using it regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I prefer laptops without the keyboard. I prefer having the keyboard centred, and I accept that not having the numpad is part of the compromise to improve portability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalE Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I don't ever use the numpad, so I prefer keyboards that don't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slackerr Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 As for me - I don't like laptops more than 13" and I don't see any need in numpad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
