My laptop has 2 sets of 3 physical buttons (HP zbook 15). Unfortunately it's got a number pad that puts the touchpad and the space bar out of center. I have to shift the whole laptop to the right and place the main windows on the left to have them where my eyes are. The only 15" laptop without that issue was a Mac but it comes with a top bar and a global menu which are worse issues IMHO.

It seems that most people but developers like and actually use number pads. I think I touched it ten times in 3 years, included checking that it worked.
