Buying a Laptop from the states?

theaaao

Hey guys,

Looking to buy the Lenovo z580 from ebay.com. Cant seem to find it available in black/grey on the European stores for under €560, so went looking elsewhere.

Found it from the US but I'm wondering about the US keyboard. How different is it or would I be able to change the keys, both physically and through the settings.

This one comes out about €430 to my door. Its going through the global shipping program which means you pay for the vat and import duty up front. Anyone used this program before? How was it?

you do know its a laptop, you just cant change the keys around on the key pad, if your so worried about the @ sign been in the wrong place just buy a UK Keyboard and hook it up via USB

if he ships it with US Mail, An Post will bring it in, and you might get away with the VAT, ifs its being with UPS you will end up paying the VAT @ 23 %

Buy a UK keyboard replacement.

Buy a set of keyboard stickers.

Get used to the US keyboard layout (no € sign, no fada, can be remedied with ASCII key combos).

Install the Irish keyboard layout (switch between languages via left ALT+SHIFT, if necessary).
