    Laptop with UK keyboard?

    Hi all, I have a friend trying to find a retailer who sells laptops (PC, Windows preferable) with UK keyboards. Anyone know anything?

    Thanks!

    Amazon UK?

    The vast majority of users here would find a UK keyboard to be a total pain, I'd expect vendors would have to sell at a discount if they somehow ended up with stock.

    Can't they just change the software layout?

    I switch between several different - remember the few keys that change in each layout...

    Yeah, it's been surprisingly difficult to find keyboards with UK layout. Amazon UK is an option though, thank you.

    I wouldn't say "surprisingly"!

    Almost nobody is going to want a keyboard with @ in the wrong place.

    When I first came to HK I was very insistent on a UK keyboard, even at work, cause this is what I was used to my whole life.

    Got over that very easily. Now am fine with the US keyboards in HK with UK English language.

    All the apple laptops can be orderer online directly with British Keyboards.
    I refused to yield to American Keyboards . Also stops people "borrowing" my keyboard in the office!
