Weblog:   The 17" PowerBook Is a Full Laptop
Subject:   Keyboard....

Can someone explain to me why they didn't put a full sized keyboard on the thing? (i.e. including the numeric keypad) There is loads of room. If you have to type numbers in the programs you use, this would be a HUGE improvement.


To me, the keyboard looks silly with enormous space on either side, and no numeric keypad.


<sigh>

    Basically, cause you'd have the normal alpha keys all shifted to the the left side to make room for the numeric keypad on the right. Would you feel right typing way off-center on the notebook palm rest? It's a matter of aesthetics, but unlike desktop machine with a full-size keyboard, you can't move the keyboard in relation to the screen on a notebook. Your hand would be awkwardly positioned on the left side of the screen most of the time.
