I think you misunderstood the article re. the number pad - it argues against number pads on laptops.
"Last laptop ever made with excellent keyboard design? (Lenovo Thinkpad T520, fr 2011)" - no numpad.
The IBM Model M keyboard is just raised as the prototypical desktop keyboard design, and the numpad there is commented as "Separate number pad possible on large keyboard without disturbing main keyboard" - which is hard to argue against.
