Choosing a laptop with a number pad

A number pad speeds up anything with numbers: spreadsheets, accounts, invoices, data entry and CAD coordinates. Every laptop here has a full numeric keypad on the right of the keyboard.

Most are 15 or 16 inches, as smaller laptops don’t have the width. That makes them better desk companions than travel laptops, so check the weight if you’ll carry it often.

Look for a backlit keyboard too if you work in the evenings, and a comfortable screen size for wide spreadsheets.

Working at a desk most days? Our best 15-inch laptops give you room to spread out.

Frequently asked questions

Which laptop sizes have a number pad?

Mostly 15 and 16-inch laptops, where the keyboard has room. Some 17-inch laptops have one too; 13 and 14-inch laptops almost never do.

Is a number pad useful?

Yes if you work with numbers: spreadsheets, accounts, data entry or CAD coordinates. It's faster than the number row once you're used to it.

Does a number pad make the keyboard worse?

It shifts the main keys to the left, so your hands sit off-centre to the screen. Most people adjust quickly.
