Hi. I'm think about buying a laptot sometime this year. I do want mine with a keypad. But I don't want HP. I know someone on this list who had an HP and started and she went back to a Dell. Even though I'm a total, I may get the 17.03 so it will already have the numberpad with it. Plus I don't want little bitty keys.

First, I've had a Dell Inspiron laptop for years, and thought its quality was just superb. I also owned a Thinkpad (now made by Lenovo) before that, and also thought it was very good. However, recently I've seen someone here mention they owned an HP 15 inch laptop which had a numeric keypad built-in (a separate keypad). I'd love to hear more about that from the owner if they see this message, as it's about time for me to buy something new. In addition, I've seen a blog column written by a laptop reviewer who said, he's never seen a laptop as good as the HP Envy series, and he'd buy that for himself the next time he buys a laptop. The Inspiron has been good about simulating the numeric keypad by using it's fn key with alphabetic keys, but there's one key it cannot simulate, or WE is blocking (I'm not sure which), and so I am interested in good laptops with separate keypads, if they aren't a huge 17 inch screen. One thing I can recommend; you often have the option of buying a bigger than normal battery for a slight upcharge; I did that with this Dell (bought a 9-cell battery) and was so glad I did; you can never have too much battery, and it only extends less than an inch beyond the back, not noticeable at all. hth, Chip > -----Original Message----- > From: Ivan Cribb [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, May 21, 2012 12:57 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Off topic New laptop > > Apologies for an off list question.
