Difficult Combo: Looking for laptop with numpad and high quality display

I'm looking for a laptop that has a numpad on the keyboard, because i do a fair amount of bookkeeping and spreadsheet work. Ok, lots of those out there.

I also do some photo work and just generally appreciate a high quality display. So many laptops have really shitty screens.

I like the macbooks and Dell XPS but they don't have numpads. I really don't think a separate usb numpad is a solution, i want it built in.

Can anyone recommend a laptop that is 15" screen, 1080p or greater resolution, good color gamut and viewing angles and has a numpad?


For that matter, how does one even determine the quality of display on a laptop when shopping? Resolution is quantifiable and easy to determine, but color accuracy and quality are more important and harder to discover.

I could go up to $1500 for the laptop of my dreams but that's tops within any kind of fiscal responsibility for me.

Thanks for the tips.

Is there any way to get an idea of the quality of the display other than whether or not it is an IPS? Resolution doesn't really tell you much. I'm on a 1920*1080p 15.6" screen right now that is crap.

I've heard of things like % of sRGB or AdobeRGB coverage, color gamut, etc. I don't know much about that stuff though, and i don't know if information like that is even available for most laptops.
