I always use them, but then I don't use a laptop. I really have no use for a laptop as I just as soon use my wife's tablet. What they do with laptop keyboards? Makes no difference to me. I only open this thread because of the title, not knowing it was about laptops, but since I had already started my reply, l figured, why stop now?

That makes perfect sense to me.........

I always use the numbers on top, like on a typewriter --- but then, I don't work with numbers, so...

(wrong post, sorry)

I do typesetting/graphics and use them all the time. Don't like using the numbers across the top.

I wish they would add a comma to the numeric keyboard pad. Would be very convenient!

and a double underscore would be handy, too

After being trained on a 10 key calculator, it just come naturallly to use the numbers key pad.

You can buy laptops without them. I can't live without mine, I'd be lost. It probably comes from working in an office for 31 years - I do everything on the 10 key. When I bought my first lap that was the number one thing I insisted on!

I use it all the time. For me, it has nothing to do with work or dealing with numbers all day long.

I just find it much easier and faster. It's rare that I use the numbers across the top. I would certainly miss it if someone took it away!
