15.5" Vaio notebook without a numeric keypad

Hi,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a Vaio notebook with a 15.5" screen but explicitly does not

feature the numeric keypad.

I really like the Vaio but I detest the "offset" keyboard layout where the qwerty layout is offset to the far

left and the touchpad is also way too far over to the left. I had to trade in my previous Vaio because it

was so uncomfortable to type on as my left hand/palm kept trapping on the left front corner of the machine.

I'm looking for a new one now, but only if the keyboard layout is central to the screen and there is no numeric

keypad.

Something like the :

VPCEA3M1E/B.CEK

But in 15.5" format would be perfect.

Thanks,

Stuart
