And using whatever magic, they managed to pull it off without creating a monster.
I've got a 12-inch, a 15-inch, and a 17-inch laptop within an arms reach, yet none of them—not even the 17-incher—have a full number pad. This makes Maingear's mX-L 15 (http://gizmodo.com/tag/mxl15/) feel like the odd man out, but boy could it be useful for quicker data entry. Or maybe gaming.

The laptop can now be ordered with Intel Core™ i5 or i7 mobile processors, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4570 graphics, 802.11b/g/n support, a 2.0MP camera, and an optional SSD. Prices start at $999, ten-key pad included. [Maingear (http://www.maingear.com/custom/laptops/mxl-15/)]
