How can I get a Macbook (pro) with numpad other than buying a second handed

Actually,
I am currently using a Macbook (2,1)
and i bought it because i thought i had a low demand of graphics, displays, etc.
And i planned to buy a Macbook Pro in several years.
However,
after MONTHS,
Apple Inc, kills numpad, and i was totally shocked and keep searching for any manufacturer or Apple Inc. itself would allow special hardware request.
By the way.
what is "full sized keyboard" actually means?
does it mean just the qwerty keyboard?
I was really disappointed with the new keyboard design.
I believed some of the mac users did the same.

i really hope someone could and i know you understand numpad is numpad, not just numbers.
i think if the people in the design group or whatever name it is, do use the numpad, or understand how i numpad would actually affect some of the people. apple inc would just keep it.
maybe you'll say.
"oh well, time passes. several years later, numpad will be totally illuminated. we are actually making trend of the computer technology!"
but then so you mean you can actually cut the fn key, change the arrow keys, etc.
its kind of sad.
i knew you understand.
like the new keyboards has those fastforward, play, rewind keys.
but those are actually optional you can still set universal hot keys if they are eluminated, and also our beloved apple remote did the same (i mean the ones we are now having)
however numpad is compulsory functional in some extent, there is no way to access numpad other than using the "Keyboard Viewer".((**slowly clicking**))
and i believed some of the businessman demand them so well.
why people just cant leave windows?
its all about compatibility.
applications are more and more made for mac.
but now we have some awkward jagged decision made here just now.
numpad is kind of the vital function to like at least 10% of the people in the world who use computers.
there is only one reason i can think of if you say so.
maybe that is a strategy to keep Mac computers up high in the sky,
so they, oops, cut users by cutting numpad incidentally.

    Although that may be true with some inverters it is not for all of them. If the inverter can get enough power to invert you can run a power saw off them, depending on the size of the inverter.
    Problems start because people buy the lowest cost unit they "THINK" will work based on the printed specs when in fact they need a bigger unit.

  • How can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

    how can i get my macbook pro too stay on and not sleep when lid is closed?

    If the machine is asleep, lid closed, and you plug in to an external monitor and an external USB keyboard, the machine will wake, anbd reconfigure the screen resolution for the external monitor, Once it has made this configuration change, you can open the lid and it will continue to address only the external monitor.  At least that's how my early MacBook Pro unibody 13" works. It seems to run a bit cooler this way. It gets quite toasty with the lid closed while doing anything demanding and you are more likely to hear the fan come on.  I have not seen any temps that would cause alarm, but I do get a high speed (6000 rpm), noisy fan sometimes with the lid closed, .
    If you operate in the open-lid, external monitor only mode, if you deactivate the monitor for any reason, when it reactivates it will be running both screens, with all the navigation hassles this entails, so I generally set it not to deactivate the screen when in this mode.
    Thus I agree with those who say that some of the cooling air is drawn in around the keyboard, the difference in cooling performance is observable.  If you activate istat pro, get the computer hot running in clamshell mode, and open the lid, you can watch the CPU temp drop by a few degrees C within a couple minutes.  It isn't a huge difference, but enough the lower the fan speeds.

  • How can i get a macbook pro in the caribbean especially trinidad and tobago

    I have been a pc user for years and I am tired of them not living up to standard. I viewed the presentations about macbook pro and I am wondering why I never used it before.
    Anyway I am a teacher and loved what I saw the the iwork software was capable of but I have no where of accessing a store to purchase one. Is there any way I could get access to purchasing one?
    In Trinidad and Tobago pc's arepopular but I think if teachers got a chance to experience the capabilities of a mac they would switch. Any ideas on how I can get one?

    You can look for an actual Apple Authorized Reseller here - http://www.apple.com/lae/buy/ 
    Trinidad & Tobago are listed in the first "find a reseller" list there, so there should be some.
    see https://locate.apple.com/tt/en/ - I entered Port of Spain here and it popped up with at least 6 resellers.

  • How can i get my MacBook Pro to output a 120 hZ signal to my TV?

    I have a 2012 MacBook pro and an Insignia 120 Hz television.  I would like to watch movies/play games on my TV in 120 hertz.  What cables do i need, and what do i have to do to get this to work.  It currently shows that the highest refresh rate i can reach in the display settings is 60 Hz.  Is this because of the cables i'm using?  I currently have the rocketfish minidisplay to hdmi adapter hooked up to a hdmi cable to the tv.  I have read other discussions relating to this issue but they got congested with people's personal issues.  An approach i saw to getting this to work was by getting the Mini-Display port to Dual-Link DVI adapter. If this is the best means of accomplishing my goals, where do i go from there?  And please, no bull****.  If you know the answer/could help, help; if you don't know the answer, don't post. 
    Thanks!

    You have to format it first using Disk Utility.

    I need help trying to format an external hard drive. My Mac won't recognise it anywhere other than System Profiler.

  • How can i get a macbook with the configration i want from apple retail store so that i can benefit from tax free service at the airport ?

    hi all, i just want to know how can i get a MacBook pro with the configuration i want from apple retail store (in Munich) and not by order it online because in this case i will not be able to benefit from Global blue service for tax free from the airport when i leave Germany. 
    thanks in advance.

    You should have probably found out more specifically from the Apple Store just how you could do it online. The obvious solution is to order it from the Apple Danish website store, but I don't know if they ship internationally.

  • Were can I get either MacBook Pro or Mac-air with English united state style keyboard, in Japan

    Were can I get either MacBook Pro or Mac-air with English united state style keyboard, in Japan

    Hi Melophage,
    Thank you very much for your response. I have a similar question to the one Abraham has, but applied to an offline Apple Store, say, the one in Ginza.
    I will have little time in Tokyo, and would like to get a MacBookPro with a US or Int'l keyboard (with or without Hiragana, I don't really care as long as there are English letters on the keyboard) off the shelf from an offline store. However, I keep getting conflicting responses from both within Apple and on forums.
    There's an option to get a US keyboard when ordering from Apple online, and that's fine. How about the in-store pickup option? Is there one, or will there be a MacBookPro with an English keyboard if I just show up at a store one day soon?
    I would greatly appreciate an answer if you have one. Thanks in advance!

    you could try this:

    there's something called "Airdroid" on the Play store (whatever that is)
    or if your files are on an sd card, you may wish to use an sd card reader. Just plugging it in via USB might possibly work. There's also something called DoubleTwist (basically iTunes for Android, which will allow you to
    sync your music , photos, videos, etc
    hope one of these works for you
