![]() My last encounter with a notebook with a numpad was a 15" Dell E5570 which ended after a few months as there wasn't enough room for my left wrist on the palmrest. However, pressing the NumLk key toggles between numbers and navigation keys (there's no status light but on an-screen display to show when the status is changed) so it's better than nothing. I'm not a fan of having a numpad and would have preferred a column of navigation keys on the right side of the keyboard. The keyboard action is very pleasant - fairly low travel but comfortable. ![]() What have I noticed so far? The screen is very reflective but this can be largely mitigated by tilting it back as there's no loss of quality due to the excellent viewing angles. I spent most of yesterday transferring everything to the Gram 17 which is now in use. As a long-term user of the thin-and-light notebooks I was also curious to try an LG product and the 3lb Gram 17 would make a good companion to the 2lb Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 13.3 which I recently bought to use away from home. What attracted me to the Gram 17? There's not much choice in the 17" category and the XPS 17 is overpowered for my needs. So, with the Optiplex too big and and XPS 15 too small, I'm hoping that the Gram 17 will be a happy compromise. ![]() Before the Optiplex I had used an XPS 15 but my eyes were suggesting that they would like a bigger screen. I recently bought a Gram 17 model 17Z90P to replace a Dell Optiplex all-in-one which, I had decided, was taking up too much desk space. ![]()
