    Just as the title says, I'm interested to know if there is a 14" or lower sized laptop with a number pad included in the keyboard. I'm asking for my girlfriend, she doesn't exactly want to be slugging a 15"+ around, but she still wants and needs a number pad.

    Thanks to anyone that helps me out! :)

    You don't need a lappy for your gf. You saw the review of the 15.4" Asus with a number pad, and you're wondering if there's a smaller lappy with the number pad, aren't you?

    No haha, I'm surely going to get the M50Sv. I've suggested it to her but she wants something lighter so :S

    These are the things she wants, a pretty laptop with a numpad that is light.

    Anyway so do you know if there is such a laptop? I doubt it myself, there just wouldn't be enough room for it on a laptop under 15" size.

    I havn't told her about usb numpads, but I'm sure she will just think they will be troublesome on school desks and stuff. And whats that with the bag? lol

    Thanks though! :)

    LOL...My bad, I guess I assumed too much. LOL, because I surely wonder if there's one. :D I don't think there's any smaller laptop with integrated NUMPAD. I haven't seen any. In fact, that M50 from ASUS is the first 15.4" I've seen with integrated NUMPAD.

    even if its possible to fix a 10-key pad into a 14.1". You do realise how small the keys are gonna be?... One finger stroke will press like 3 keys

    Yeah, the M50Sv is probably the smallest notebook with a Number Pad keyboard. So good luck with that for your GF :D

    I would get the M50SV for sure, not just because it HAS the number pad but because I think its the best priced notebook for what you get period.
