Do 15" laptops without numeric pads even exist anymore?

[spellbinder2050]

I need a 15" laptop, but it has to have an SSD and lack the numeric pad / numpad. I would prefer an ultra book or something moderately thin with a core i3 or Core i5 with integrated graphics.

Is this even possible to find? I've already looked at Dell, Asus, and Acer ...

You can take a look at the DELL XPS 15 9550. It is 15.6 inch without numpad (but a bit pricey).

Yeah. My search has narrowed down to that and the Acer Swift. They're both 1000 dollars though and my budget is half that. I'd be willing to find a cheaper laptop with a HDD and switch it out for an SSD myself.

Yes, most 15.6 laptops come with numpad, because lot of users make use of that feature.
I would suggest you to get one with numpad and get used to it, in order to keep in the budget.

This is a rather unusual request, but this $450 Acer Chromebook is 15.6", lacks a numpad and has an SSD, sort of...

Beyond Chromebooks, under $500 you're looking at used/refurbished laptops with great specs (and there are tons of them), or 'gutted-out' computers running on slow-poke Celeron N3050s.

Best of luck,
