I'd pay a 100 Euro extra to remove the number pad and center the keyboard and the touchpad. Having to slide any laptop to the right is so annoying (the space bar must align with the center of the body, no matter what.)
Personally, I find the numpad to be incredibly useful (and it's nice having it be there without having to lug around some extra gadget just for that purpose), and the fact that the touchpad is off-center is pretty irrelevant (as in: I don't think about it, and it doesn't really affect anything at all).
It does help, though, that even on a desktop I have a tendency to shift the keyboard somewhat to the left relative to my body (in fact, that's how I'm typing right now), so I guess I'm used to it. Still, switching between the Precision and my work ThinkPad (which lacks a numpad, and therefore doesn't need to offset anything) gives me no trouble at all.
On that note, I have exactly three requirements when shopping for a "mobile workstation" like that:
1. A numpad (even if it's one I access by holding down some Fn key to change the behavior of other keys)
2. A Trackpoint or equivalent
3. No NVIDIA GPU (ain't nobody got time for proprietary drivers)
My Precision passes all three of those with flying colors. This Oryx fails all three of those AFAICT.
That said, they don't have as much control over the hardware as I would hope. As I initially said, this is a rebranded clevo so they are kind of stuck with whatever they source from them.
