I hope they keep them since I will only ever buy 15" laptops with a number pad. Typing in IP addresses, something I do many times daily in my line of work, is much quicker on a numpad than on the horizontal row of number keys.

Are you looking forward to the future where having a number pad won't help you enter ipv6 addresses? Well, at least it'll make you enter the address slower than if you use the "normal" number row + letters instead of numpad + letters.
