Yeah horses for courses right?

I don’t mind numpads per say - on a desktop keyboard it’s fine, I guess. Even I personally won’t be using them, at least they don’t get too much in the way. I can touch type numbers just fine on the top row. I don’t like to move my hands from the home row if I can help it, least of all for numeric input. And I also hate offset typing, feels like driving a car with the pedals off to one side of your seat, bad ergo.

But I guess if numpads on laptops are your thing, it’s great for you.

Why do so many of their laptops have numpads? I don’t want to type with my hands offset to the left I want to type straight on, no numpad, centralised letters.

Just read Dubliners by James Joyce. A very interesting series of short stories telling a wider story about Ireland at the time, nationalism, alcoholism, decline, struggle and ambition. Would recommend.

I’m running a 3 year old flagship phone (As it happens an iPhone). It’s still blazing fast, still has great cameras, still got the latest os and the battery health is still in the high-80s percentage range which is plenty for a days use. I don’t see any compelling reason at all to change my phone (more compelling is a £60 battery replacement when the battery does start to fail to win another years life) and I bet many others like me are in the same boat.
