Ok, this doesn't answer your query, but maybe worth considering something like this? 

 

I haven't really researched into the whole "lightest laptop with a numpad", but I would assume that a "dedicated numpad" requirement would limit your options, whereas a separate usb numpad won't add any noticeable weight while carrying it around. The only way I could see this not being a very good option is if you're working on the lap most of the time.

 

But good luck with your search anyways.

I don't know about the smallest laptop with a number pad, but I would check out the LG Gram 15 since they are quite reasonable when it comes to size and weight, even for a 15" laptop.

I think the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro (or the newer Book2 Pro) 15.6 is the other contender for the crown of being the lightest. Last year's models of both the Gram 15 and the Galaxy Book Pro can be found within the $1000 budget.  Notebookcheck have comprehensive reviews of both https://www.notebookcheck.net/Samsung-Galaxy-Book-Pro-15-NP950XDB-laptop-review-Insanely-lightweight.585548.0.html , https://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-of-the-LG-Gram-15Z90P-1-1-kg-2-4-lb-15-inch-laptop.595386.0.html .

 

Notebookcheck's data indicates that the Samsung is the smaller and lighter of the two but has only a 64Whr battery compared to the LG's 80Whr battery. The Samsung also has an AMOLED display. I would suggest that you read both reviews. If you have any specific questions then it may be best to ask them in the appropriate manufacturer forums here as there are a few members who own one of these brands if not the specific size you are considering. I have a Gram 17 as my main computer and a Galaxy Book Pro 13.3 for using when away from home. I personally have found no cause for concern about the lack of rigidity in these thin and light notebooks. There was a time when the mainboards of notebooks extended the full width of the case and any flexing resulted in stress on the electronics. Now the mainboards are much smaller with supplementary boards and ports connected using ribbon cables.
