    Hello everyone,

    I'm French and I want to buy an Envy 14 but this laptop won't come out in France for at least 1 or 2 months, so I wanted to know whether an AZERTY version is out on the market somewhere. Do you have any information about this ?
    Can the keyboard be replaced with another one, bought frome HP spare pieces store ?

    Thanks guys !

    AZERTY as opposed to QWERTY. It's the keyboard layout.

    Woops, indeed, sorry :D
    AZERTY is the keyboard layout that frenchies have. The organization of the keys is supposed to be more confortable for a French typing.

    Well the fact that a "for france" keyboard exists means that it'll be released in france eventually.

    As for replacing it.

    You have to take the top cover off first if I'm following the maintenance manual correctly
