It also depends on what OS and GUI you are using. If for example you are using a Linux Distribution, along with the KDE GUI, you can define whether you want Numlock on or off by default in the &quot;System Settings&quot;, under &quot;Input Devices&quot;, &quot;Keyboard&quot; of the Hardware section. For other GUI's those settings are set at different locations, or you can also edit config files etc so it is set already for the terminal.

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
