Hi,
Just food for thought. Unless one purchases a 17 inch PC laptop, a numpad is not included in the keyboard layout on the PC side either. (Maybe OT). Hence, I have to use a USB external numpad. Because I have Win8 installed in bootcamp, I have plugged in a full USB keyboard, with a numpad. When I need to use it on the Mac side, one needs to remember that the ALT key is the option key (Mac), and the Windows key is the command key on the Mac side. I do miss not having a dedicated home/end key on the Mac Air's keyboard. I can access the beginning and the end of a sentence, but navigating with more advance options have never worked out for me with the native Mac Air keyboard. JMO. May be I just don't know all the tricks of the trade yet. *Smile* Best, Eileen From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Tim Kilburn Sent: Tuesday, June 3, 2014 7:16 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: which lap top Hi, No, none of the Mac Laptop models have a built-in NumPad. There's just not enough space for one. Your options are to use a external USB or Bluetooth NumPad or to use an external extended keyboard either USB or Bluetooth. HTH. Later.

As others have said, you can purchase a USB or bluetooth numpad, or a full-sized keyboard that includes a numpad.

The one thing that is important is a key board with the numeric key pad on the key board. I have a MacBook Air and it does not have this. Do any of the MacBook pro computers have this? -- Marianne Denning, TVI, MA Teacher of students who are blind or visually impaired (513) 607-6053 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
