Same. And what kind of developer edition laptop doesn't have a full keyboard, i.e. a numpad? It drives me nuts.

The kind where they want the keyboard to be centered on the machine. I hate number pads on laptops because then the keyboard is off center. I can't really think of anything that would actually make it a feature worth the shift.

Different strokes, I guess.

What do you use the numpad for when developing? Just curious because I actually prefer keyboards that don't have it to save desk space

One that is not 13". This is meant to be a compact machine, not a desktop replacement.
