The quality of the keyboard is always determined by the speed of blind typing, which I have owned for a long time. Most laptops have poor keyboards, with poor tactile feedback and keystroke fidelity. Well, about the reason that I often switch between a full-fledged desktop keyboard and laptop keyboards, keyboards without a full-fledged numpad (the width of the keys should be the same as the letters) and without the normal Esc+F1..F12 row (normal height) absolutely p*** me off, because that it destroys all my blind typing. And if in 12-14" laptops it is clear that a full-fledged keyboard cannot be physically squeezed in, then I don't understand why some "designer" at Acer came up with this nonsense with a deliberately damaged numpad, although there is a free space more than 1 cm wide on the left and right, i.e. 4 rows of numpad perfectly fit in width! Well, the vile manner of the Chinese like Asus/MSI/Gigabyte to make a right arrow to the place of insert on numpad, which also immediately destroys my copy-paste (and fast group operations in file managers) in 2 hands, when i use numpad as navbar while typing.
In the end, it's high time to make the keyboard block removable on all models and give customers the opportunity to choose the option they need - those who like centered truncated options without numpad can order or buy one, and who doesn't need this with numpad, but now there is simply no choice. What is on this series of odd numpad, what is on like ravelMate P2 from Acer and this model. Yes, and absolutely moronic savings on a separate power button, which is in the same row with the keyboard, which leads to accidental pressing on it, how did a fool think of this among managers? They just cut sales to themselves at times!
Apparently the task of marketers and managers is to calmly, year after year, cut the budgets of companies at the expense of shareholders, but not to produce normal laptops at all and increase sales at times! As Elon Musk said, we should probably fire 75% of the staff, maybe then the rest (after certification) will start to think and work normally, but for now it all looks like some kind of surreal conspiracy and madness.
Huawei D16 2022 with a relatively normal numpad and a price of $1000 with i5 12500H, even with all its shortcomings (and most importantly, the terrible cooling system is castrated twice compared to the version with AMD 2021, which is simply absurd!), it is immediately clear that it has much more success in retail than last year's model precisely because of the dramatically improved keyboard (and IPS screen without PWM), otherwise almost no one would buy it.
Surprisingly - all manufacturers whine about the drop in sales, but no one wants to make reference models in terms of power, ports, keyboard, fast screen and 2 memory slots, models without discrete video chips, because they dramatically increase the cost and most are not interested in games at all.
