Why doesn't the Razer 15.6 laptop have a numeric keypad?

为什么Razer笔记本电脑没有数字键盘？而且它没有4K IPS LED或2.5K IPS LED屏幕可供选择。这是一个很大的缺点。如果它支持选择，那它将是我的理想选择。

Why doesn't Razer laptop have a numeric keyboard? And it doesn't have 4K IPS LED or 2.5K IPS LED screen to choose from. This is a big disadvantage. If it supports choices, it would be my ideal choice.

Razer Blade is made for Gaming so it’s maxed for better gaming experience like up front speaker and more cooling room, by putting numpad it’ll reduce those experiences. On old model 17, with bigger keyboard area rather than putting numpad they put trackpad (again for cooling reason) or on earlier models they put switchblade ui which’s nowadays known as interactive touchscreen like on some asus laptops (only with better tech due current technology).
About the display on 15 model now most manufacturers go with Oled for 4K screen, before on early 2019 and 2018 Blade 15 there was 4K ips touchscreen option, but for stealth 13 and blade pro 17 you have still the option with current model. On pro 17 model you can even opt for 120Hz refresh rate. You can downscale to 1440p if you need. So far I know 2,5K screen was only on Blade stealth 2016, yes it was sweet spot for gaming, media consumption and doesn’t kill battery life a lot like 4K ips I had that model.

Razer Blade專為遊戲而設計，因此可以最大化獲得更好的遊戲體驗，例如前置揚聲器和更多的冷卻室，通過放置數字鍵盤可以減少這些體驗。在舊型號17上，鍵盤面積更大，而不是放在小鍵盤上，而是放在觸控板上（再次出於冷卻原因）；在舊型號上，他們將switchblade ui放在今天，這被稱為交互式觸摸屏，就像在一些華碩筆記本電腦上一樣（僅當採用最新技術時才使用）
關於現在15種型號上的顯示屏，大多數製造商都將Oled用於4K屏幕，在2019年初和2018年初Blade 15之前有4K ips觸摸屏選項，但是對於隱身和Blade pro，您仍然可以使用當前型號進行選擇，在pro型號上可以選擇120Hz的刷新率。如果需要，您可以將其降級為1440p。到目前為止，我知道2,5K屏幕僅在Blade Blade 2016上可用，是的，它是遊戲，媒體消費的最佳選擇，並且不會像我使用該型號的4K ips那樣會大大縮短電池壽命。

This again poses an issue for games that rely on macros, as you don't have a number pad and the ten custom keys liteblue login

Why do you need numeric keyboard for in a gaming laptop?. They use up valuable space and decreases efficiency of a gaming keyboard. When I used to play games in my regular non gaming laptop the numeric keys were like sitting around doing nothing. So they are useless.

It's totally unnecessary. Especially for 15'', it'd be so cramped. The keyboard already suffers from poor placement of keys / squished together in all of the wrong places. I couldn't imagine what it'd be like if they tried to smash a numpad in there.
