I currently own a laptop with an a8 4500m APU and it's getting long in the tooth. I'm hoping to get something that can do light steam gaming and emulation (preferably up to ps2/wii but would gladly settle for psx) BUT no matter what; it needs a real english keyboard. To this effect It seems like it's impossible to walk into a store and getting something that has this since Canada is all "Ooooh la la. mon ami needs un Bilingual keyboard no?" and proceeds to hand me something I simply cannot type on.

That being said any canadians have a suggestion? Do dell.ca laptops like this one come with the US keyboards? http://www.dell.com/ca/p/inspiron-1...7_ftsb_s111e&model_id=inspiron-15-3567-laptop for Everyone else; what are some easy to repair laptops that would allow me to replace the keyboard with little effort?

oh and what kinda specs would I need for said laptop in general? is a quad core super important or would a i5-6200u dual core be enough?

 

unfortunately my typing method is what makes the bilingual keyboard interface useless to me. I need the enter and shift keys to be where I expect them to as I was unlucky enough to learn the almena method a good 22 years ago. I've seen some videos of how to replace dell keyboards and it seems easy enough. not fond of the $40 price tag to get a replacement but meh. Now I just need to find a dell that meets my spec needs

 

I'll try that at a store tomorrow. I hope it's as easy as you say cause this laptop is running 90+c and has crashed to the point it needed a restore already. I do a lot of typing so worst case scenario i'd plug in an external keyboard I guess but I might get odd looks at work lol.
