Scott, I have recently bought an HP 6820S business machine. This has an Intel core2 Duo processor with 1.6 G speed. It has 2 GB RAM and 160 GB hard drive. What is so cool about it though is that it virtually has a standard qwerty keypad on it with a full numberpad. It also has a 17" screen and an impressive 3 hour batterylife. It also has bluetooth built in. Because it's a business machine, the speakers are not stereo but mono though the sound is good. It also has wi fi and an ATI Radion graphics card. Cost around £500 ish. Hope that helps.

Folks, looking to buy a laptop and wondering what keyboards have the numpad and are as much alike the standard qwerty as possible? Any help and recommendations would be greatly appreciated, thanks, Scott
