    Zero in Wrong Place in Numeric Keypad!

    I was about to pull the trigger on an Asus G51JX when I noticed the "zero" is in the wrong place on the numeric keypad. As I do a lot of spreadsheet stuff and constantly use the keypad, this is a deal breaker for me. Yes, I tried one.

    The right arrow key is where the "zero" should be, so even re-assigining the keys wouldn't be practical.

    Looks like even their more business targeted N series has the same lame setup. Geesh.

    Anybody else have an opinion about this issue?

    Thanks!

    I actually find that keyboard layout extremely good because it conserves space and looks nice! I don't like the big fat zero in the usual keypads!
