Oh my god...is that a 15" laptop without a number pad being crammed onto the side of the keyboard, thus not forcing all my typing to be awkwardly offset and uncomfortable?

This is my beef with laptops. I bought a huge laptop just so I could have a numberpad.

But I've been amazed at how many programmers don't like to have them. Why?

Why would I use numpad?

Even on normal keyboards I don't use it, and they are annoying because they make the mouse position awkwardly more to the right than it should be healthy for the arm (I really envy left handed people, they don't have to deal with this).

And it is next to impossible to get a keyboard without the numpad, fortunately I found two such keyboards and I have one at work and one at home (Logitech K310 and Microsoft Sculpt).

And I haven't seen in live any person that uses numpad, I always thought it is used by accountants only (and those that don't want to use two hands to enter numbers).

Lookup Vortex brand keyboards. I have a Pok3r which has no numpad and is quite small in footprint but still has a full size layout for letter keys. It is weird at first not having dedicated arrow keys but once you are used to it it's quite comfortable.
