Not that I'm aware of. They all come w/ keyboards (touch pads may be optional).

Now, you can always use your usb keyboard/mouse with your laptop, in addition to what is there.

Hello Darus,
Firstly - welcome to CompuForums. We provide our computer help for free, so we would appreciate it if you could help us. You can do this by answering other people's questions, or if you are not so technically-minded, post in our general lounge forum. Alternatively you can purchase a premium membership to help contribute to the rising running costs of this site. If you can't help us then we can't help you.

You won't be able to cut down a laptop's size by removing the touchpad - there are usually important components under there [on mine, the hard drive is directly below the touchpad
If it's a smaller laptop that you are looking for, consider buying an eeePC:
ASUS Eee PC 701 4GB SSD 512MB eeePC Laptop Notebook +8G - eBay, Laptops, Notebooks, Computers. (end time 17-Feb-08 06:06:14 AEDST)
