Not having a numeric keyboard is one of my major gripes with laptops.
Once you learn how to use them they're so much quicker than the numbers row if you have to do any number crunching.

I can see if you are a worker who enters accounting information all day or have data entry with your job for extended periods of time how it would be invaluable but for what is regularly done on a computer I don't find myself needing it much anymore.
If I did need it I would probably buy a number pad to hook up to the computer (there actually looks like a huge selection for usb number pads for under $30).
