New HP Spectre Product Feature Removed

[DMNuthals]

I own an HP Spectre 15" laptop that I absolutely love.  It's the best laptop I have ever owned, fast, has no issues, reliable, and I couldn't be happier with it.  I am in Real Estate, so I use it heavily for business and marketing.  Recently I considered upgrading to one of the new HP Spectre's since the one I have is a few years old, and I wanted to give this one to my son to use for school since it works so well.  I am EXTREMELY disappointed that HP has removed the right side 10 key numeric keypad from all models of their Spectre computers.  I know this wasn't a feature of the models with a smaller screen size, but even the larger 16" and higher screen models no longer have the feature.  Using this in business, that is a crucial feature for many people, and it's very odd that HP was remove such an important feature that most users in business use regularly.  I have recommended this line of computers to several colleagues and industry professionals, and many of them are equally disappointed that the feature is not on any of the new Spectre notebooks, considering we would have been purchasing and upgrading to another notebook in this line soon.  I hope that HP reconsider's adding this back to their new models.  I'm hoping my current computer continues to be reliable and lasts for several more years so I don't have to shop for a different line or manufacturer that has similar specs but has that features.  As a former big box manager for Best Buy, I can assure you that the HP Spectre line is known for being the top of the line in business laptops from HP, and removal of this feature that's used so heavily for business professionals is very unfortunate.
