Best 15.4 (or larger) *used* TP with numpad
Hello friends.
My friend seeks a refurb ThinkPad that has 15.4 screen with a keyboard that has a dedicated numpad. Ideas? The budget is around £200-£250 max, thank you.
PS: I was asked to also mention that it needs to be UK QWERTY, thanks.

Well my friend your only option is a 17" w70x machine if you want a numpad. Always could get a a31 with an ultrabay numpad but i dont think you want a pentium 4 . I do have one but it still is a trusty worker so I wont give that away. If you dont want a numpad, a t61p-t530 is a great range to look at. You can get all of the above machines for around 150-300 USD on ebay.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Also look into Lenovo non-ThinkPad lines, such as Ideapad, Edge and Essentials.
A number of those have glossy screens though.
And avoid any laptops with an AMD CPU, they generally run very hot.
AMD-laptops usually have a model number ending with 5, such as E475.
Intel-laptops usually have a model number ending with 0, such as E470.

Every Thinkpad with the classic keyboard also has the obscure "integrated-numpad".

If that was the case minuswell just bring a external numpad or better yet, a ibm pc122 ) JK.
But on a serious note, the classic intergrated numpad is a joke.

That's about the most worthless thing I've ever seen on a Thinkpad.
Does anyone really use that unless you're an accountant on the go?

Re: Best 15.4 (or larger) *used* TP with numpad
I use the numpad directional keys when I play video games with the keyboard.
But the Thinkpad keyboards being very poor 2KROs (a lot of 3-key combinations jam), it's moot, because I would hardly ever use a Thinkpad keyboard to play games.

Windows' "Mouse Keys" program demands a numberpad and for that purpose the integrated numpad is useful.
