When did Asus change their laptops to have the new keyboard layout style?
The old styles use to have the normal USA layout as seen here: http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/31421.jpg

Take a note at the Enter key

Now the new layout looks different. Look at the Enter key:

Im upset that they changed the layout. Does anyone know if the keyboard layout in HK stores are the old styles or the new ones? The layout in Canada uses the multilingual style which is totally different and ugly.

That new layout is a UK English keyboard, all the symbols above the numbers are different as well. I don't think you would get that layout unless you buy the laptop in the UK, though I could be mistaken.

Hmm I think you are right. I was just looking at the F8SN-B1 keyboards but since it hasn't been released in NA, maybe thats the layout for the UK. I really hope you are right!
