> I would love to see Lenovo consider selling this machine (or any 15+ inches) without the numpad and with a centered touchpad.

Yeah I don’t get this trend either. Are any pro users actually asking for this?

I'll disagree for my personal preference. I'm not a fan of small keyboards. I really enjoy having my 104 key buckling spring keyboard. So to me it is nice to see a laptop with a numpad as I like having mine.

I was seriously considering ordering a Model F keyboard ( https://www.modelfkeyboards.com/ ) But the largest model is a measly 77 key model :( For desktop use, my requirement is to have a numpad. I realize why they did it as costs are a lot lower for 77 keys vs 104 keys. But still disappointed.

Aren't there numpads on some keyboards on that page?

It's like they don't expect people to type on it

Just don't multiplex the edit keys.
