    Hello

    I purchased a new Vaio S 15" (Customized Performance model). Any idea what keyboard layout is there ? Is there a numeric pad?

    Ordering from SONY canada I had the choice between a bilingual or a US style keyboard. I chose the US layout, it has two large shift keys, much the same as the MacBook keyboards, with the addition of a numpad. The one in the store had a small shift key on the left and extra keys I've never used before.

    PS: It's worth noting some manufacturers put the Fn key on the left edge of the keyboard (Apple, Lenovo, etc.). Sony does it the other way, with a Ctrl on the left edge, and Fn next to it. Gamers might notice this when going to crouch.

    I just took some pictures of my S15 here:
