well ive founda laptop that has a numpad… but not to sure if its worth the price that they are asking for it…
does any 1 know any laptops that havea numpad??
hhmm… i kinda think thats gona look and feel very weird…
So what if it looks/feels weird?
Trust me, THAT is better than constantly enabling and disabling numlock when working with Blender.
Fn + NumLk //enable Numlock; just holding Fn doesn't seem to work
"7" //switch to top view
Fn + NumLk //disable numlock
All of that just to switch to top view… It’s annoying.
Ah well, guess I’ll turn on the “emulate numpad” option 
no, i mean laptops have the num pad integrated into them, thats what i was looking at and if you lookclosely on that links image you can see it has a FULL keyboard
I was talking about the external numpad.
I don’t think such a keyboard on a lapotop is THAT weird, though.
However, it’s not advised to use Blender on a laptop if you oftenly model complex models (like 5,000,000 verts, 6,000 materials, 30 lamps…).
I usually use an external keyboard for Blender when I’m on a laptop.
That’s what I have. It’s a desktop replacement, so it has lots of power, and it was a very reasonable price. HP Pavillion zd8000. Got it customized from the HP website.
