Toshiba Satellite A505-S6030 include a full size number key pad to the right,The 16-inch A505 has a 104-key keyboard (with 10-key pad) and lighted, touch-sensitive multimedia controls.
Love this key pad and find it very useful when entering phone numbers, use excel, do any calculations, type in a credit card number, etc. The Toshiba Satellite A505-S6030 is on the big side so if you travel alot I would go elsewhere but for those that want a strong well rounded laptop/ desktop replacement at a decent price. This Toshiba Satellite A505-S6030 laptop is fantastic and should be considered.
Toshiba Satellite A505-S6030 features a 16-inch diagonal HD TruBrite widescreen LED-backlit display, touchpad with multi-touch control, and a dual-layer DVD±RW drive that burns CDs and offers Labelflash print functionality. The bright 16-inch LCD (1366 x 768) offers a true 16:9 aspect ratio and 720p native high-definition resolution, and the A505 is great for using as a media center with the touch-sensitive media keys placed above the keyboard.
