This laptop is like 10 years old and belonged to my dad before he gave it to me so I could use it for studies (I have a different gaming PC). I hope it just requires an OS reinstall…

      I found it so strange that the last time I looked at laptop reviews all the reviewers would list a numpad as a negative and not just a simple preference thing.

      Guess people don’t use their computers to compute anymore…

        I’m a numpad enjoyer on my PC but it would be a negative for me on a laptop! I only use my numpad for a few things so I’d prefer the inconvenience of not having it to the inconvenience of even smaller keys.

        No hate for laptop numpads, just wanted to give some perspective!

        I hate selling anything without the numpad. 15-16inch is my default and the standard people want. Rarely do they want 14inch that comes with none.

        Granted it’s a lot of finance/accounting firms but still.

        I wouldnt even consider anything less then 100% full size keyboard for desktop too. I want functional of space. I’ll buy a bigger desk if I need more space.

          I prefer the 14" format. I do most of my work at home, and when I’m at home, the laptop is docked with a proper mouse, full sized mechanical keyboard and dual screening into a 27" 1440p screen. When I need to travel, I need my system to be light and easier to carry. By opting for the 14" format, I get the best of both worlds.
