ANSI or ISO keyboard

Is there any way to know which keyboard layout Macbook Pro 16" has (ANSI or ISO) without opening the box?

I'm not a fan of ISO layout, so I want to be sure before purchasing one.

That just tells you what glyphs are pre-printed on the keys.


You can install different localization to translate the keys differently if you like, or even switch them "on-the-fly".
