Microsoft's Arc keyboard is a little like that. Cursor keys are in a
4-directional pad and the other keys are on the top row. Doesn't seem to
have scroll lock and maybe not great for putting in a bag due to the
shape.

Lenovo also makes Thinkpad keyboards that have a laptop like layout.
Arrow keys in the bottom right, the other keys on the top right. Then
again, you have a laptop so maybe this isn't what you're looking for? I
have to admit I'm not sure I understand what it is you are looking for
in an external keyboard. Seems easiest to me to just not bring one with
a laptop...
