I never carry my external, just find it easier to type on when at my desk at home, just my set up. :)

I never considered the external option mainly because I didn't think about it :). I can see why people would get an external keypad especially at the beginning because it seems a little hard to press all these keys together, but really once you get used to it it's the easiest thing, and most of all, a Macbook is a laptop and has been designed to be used by itself, and I like carrying it around with no other devices...On Jul 13, 2009, at 7:55 AM, Donna Goodin wrote:Hi Marie,Thanks. I had just been thinking that perhaps an external keypad for home use would be a good thing. I think I'll try it with just the Mac first, but I will definitely keep the external option in mind.Cheers, Donna -----Original Message----- From: Marie Howarth <marie.jane2005@xxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, July 13, 2009 7:41 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Interacting On A Lap-Top Also Donna, I have an external keyboard for at home so the numpad comes in useful. but the key combos are not that bad at all.

Don't let what something sounds like come between you and a new mac. you wouldn't have an IPhone if you did that for it.

Asking because I was planning to purchase the 13-inch laptop, and had been counting on being able to lock the vo keys and use the numpad to navigate and interact..
