Well, I wouldn't worry too much about the vanishing cursor keys on your computer.
Ever hear of "Alexa"? (Amazon Echo)
The whole damn keyboard is disappearing!
Bezos surely wants that. He'd love to listen in to everyone,
everywhere.
I do have to say, though, it's one of the FEW refinements that the millennial crowd has helped pushed to widespread adoption. That, and maybe eliminating cords from MP3 players.
Nope. Never going to happen in this house. My son gave us a smart
speaker a couple of Christmases back. It's still in the box, in the
basement.
Then there is the issue of working/surfing with others around. Dumb
idea made dumber.
I was listening to an NPR show about "typing" on phones vs. voice recognition. "THEY" found that voice recognition is way more accurate than typing, and faster, too, according to some standardized test for typists. I have been trying to get into the habit of talking instead of typing when sending texts from my android phone. It is remarkable how well it does...even if they're recording everything I say - but why wouldn't they just record everything I type?
Do you type your sex with your wife or girlfriend (both?) in the
"privacy" of your bedroom? Do you type every conversation you have
into your smart phone?
yes to both

I thought maybe I'd found a laptop that seems to meet most of my requirements. Full sized cursor keys. Number keypad is full height keys, but not full width. Seems the 4x4 array is the same width as the 3x2 cursor keys, so the cursor keys are a bit wider than the main keys.
But they made the other cursor keys function shift things, home, end, pg up, pg down, insert. It also comes with a fairly lame battery that likely will only power it for an hour.
Doesn't matter so much. It's a Lenovo and after my last experience it will take a lot to get me to buy a Lenovo again.
