I think the advantage of having a real numpad outweighs the aesthetic problems.

>>61020964
You think, but I know numpads on laptops are shit

>>61020964
who uses the numpad?
you need to take your hands off the home row to access it, its useless.

are you entering numbers on an excel sheet all day??

What non housefire GPUs can I upgrade to without burning a hole in my pocket?
Can I mod the eDP cable and display in for 120Hz?

I think the problem isn't even aesthetic, but I find really uncomfortable to type in a keyboard with a numpad in a laptop.

does it even have a computer nipple, OP? if not, that's kind of a deal breaker

>>61023964
hey, that's a pretty good idea. I just have to make sure those don't overlap with the keybinds for my wm.

>>61024870
yes it has, a black one.

Precision is better
