Hey guys, I'm thinking of getting either the A43SV or the A53SV. Are there any major differences in the feel of the A53's keyboard compared to the A43?(I've already tried the A53 keyboard) And is the A53 only available with the UK keyboard layout?

Should feel the same since both keyboards are essentially the same except for the inclusion numpad on the A53. It's only available in the US layout here.

I prefer the older bag. At least it had an extra compartment at the back.

I don't see it on the photos Kelvinclyap88 uploaded  From what I read at the ASUS site, under specifications, it doesn't have OPTIMUS tech, btw ASUS A43SV(or probably other later models with Windows 7) have AHCI mode for SATA enabled by default, which means SATA II/III SSD are just the matter of plug and play!  I don't mind not having OPTIMUS, it's not like I'm a fan of Transformers.
