Iโm a Galaxy Book4 Pro 16" user and I would be ready to upgrade to the Galaxy Book6 Pro 16", but the missing numeric keypad stops me.
For many professionals, the numeric keypad is a core productivity feature, especially on a 16-inch laptop. It makes a real difference for spreadsheets, finance, data entry, and everyday efficiency.
I hope Samsung considers releasing a Galaxy Book Pro 16 configuration with a numeric keypad. I want to stay with Samsung, but this design choice is preventing my upgrade.
Both USB and Bluetooth numeric keypads are available. Search Amazon. If you really want to upgrade, having a keypad as a separate accessory shouldn't be a barrier.
I often travel to different countries and work from restaurants (where extra accessory would take space on the table)
and from beach (beach lounger, beach bed, beach chair) where the laptop is on my lap..
If Samsung does not make a 16 inch model with numeric keypad, I will be forced to buy different brand laptop (Dell or Lenovo) next time when I upgrade.
Your choice, obviously. I don't think that they are going to add a model with the keypad if they saw fit to take it away. Actually, it wouldn't take up space on a table at all, as there is enough room under the keyboard on the wrist rest to rest it. It all comes down to whether another brand has the specs you need. It's not as if standard keyboard does not have a number row.
I agree with this statement. I love Samsung and loved the keypad on my pro model laptop. But If I am forced to change brands due to the removal of the keypad due to my professional job, sadly I would have to do it. I do not want to hold to a separate wireless keypad as it adds another accessory to hold. Bad move, Samsung. Bring it back!
If you upgrade to the Galaxy Book Pro 16 and frequently require a numeric keypad, you might consider using an external numeric keypad to temporarily resolve your input needs.
