Barry,

Just in the normal way. I'm used to pc keyboards on a slight slope, and this
is the first laptop I've owned, rather than just used. It's fine, and as
stated, I'm very happy with the layout.
Further plus points:
There are delineations between each block f four function keys.
The insert and delete keys are on the same row as the function keys, and are
demarked by a small gap.
Very good keyboard,

Best,

David.

Hi David,

That's great thanks.

When you say it took a bit to get used in what way?  Just in the normal
way some laptop keyboards can or was there something weird about it?

Cheers,
Barry.

Barry,
I'm using one at the moment, and the keyboard takes a bit of getting
used to.  However, unlike some keyboards, there is a clear delineation
between keyboard and number pad. I bought this one from the business
section of pc world, and made sure that I had a go with it before
purchase. The numpad is as per normal, with 4 keys at the top,
respectively page up, page down, home and end.
I'm very happy with it,

Best,

David.

Folks,

I'm always a bit particular about the keyboards on laptops I buy.
Therefore I've always went for Toshibas, but I've seen a lovely HP
online.  This will be a work laptop purchased through Access to Work.
It's a 15.6", so it has a numpad.  It makes me a bit nervous not being
able to see the laptop before hand mind.

What are peoples opinions?  Here's the link to it,
