Need an Alienware x17 with a numpad
Dell,
The thing holding me back from buying a new RTX 3080 laptop is the lack of one with a numpad. As a mobile power user and gamer this is an absolute must! I like my Area51m R2 but would like to upgrade to an RTX 3080 laptop. But I need a numpad.

The 2023 released m18 R1 has the built-in number pad.

Hi @Distriived welcome to this user to user discussion forum. This is not Dell Support.
Although the Alienware x17 R1 does not have a numpad, there are Dell wired and wireless USB Number Pad/Key Pad accessories.
Here is the selection of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Alienware Laptops, but these do not have keyboards with numpad.
Please click on Kudos to say thank you for response from user that is not employed by Dell. Please share an update on progress, so that other users derive benefit from your experience. Thank you.

I absolutely agree, I currently own a 17R4 that I bought at the end of 2017 and am currently in the market to replace but... without a keyboard it cannot be a Alienware unless they add the keyboard back

Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed too. Been a big AW fan until now. I need that number pad for work purposes and don't want to have to use an after-market product. I think this is a big mistake on their part.

Yes, I am disappointed also! I have two AW18, two AW17 with numeric pads, AW15 without, and just bought the AW m15R7 without, and wishing I had not. I miss the numeric pads. I also miss having the THREE (3) internal slots for storage so I can use my AW as both a gaming, work and personal laptop. It will definitely be the bar for ordering any future Alienware's. The direction that Dell has taken will lose many of their followers.
