Same, moving the alpha cluster off-center drives me crazy not just in laptops, but also on desktop setups. It’s uncomfortable and awkward.
Not that people who like numpads shouldn’t also have the option, but it really should be an option. As a sibling comment notes, the Framework 16 does this but traditional laptops ought to do it too.
Larger laptops practically always have a numpad though. I think the last ~17” laptop I saw without one was the 17” MBP, which was discontinued over a decade ago.
- wiredfool 3y agoThe desktop situation works a lot better if the mouse is on the left and the numpad is on the right. Everything is in balance.

- happymellon 3y agoI'm left handed, but I use my mouse on the right. A lot of mice are designed for the right hand only, so I got used to it. It's more than 90% of people that this laptop will not work for.
- wiredfool 3y agoI switched sides due to RSI issues. Having two mice eased the transition, and since then it’s just been the one on the left.
