    If I order the Y580 from Canada, will they send me a bilingual keyboard by default? To clarify, I do not want a bilingual keyboard, it would drive me insane. If I call a sales rep before placing my order, can they ensure that I get a US layout keyboard?

    No idea if the sales rep can get it changed, but my Canadian Y580 came with a bilingual keyboard.

    I talked about it with a sales supervisor, and they said that they only way I could get a US keyboard would be to order through Lenovo US with a US credit card and also pick it up in the US.

    I just remapped the key next to the left shift to extend left shift, and I adapted to the more vertical enter button instantly.

    Does anyone know where I can buy one with a US layout keyboard? I already know the bilingual keyboard is going to annoy the hell out of me, so this is definitely a deal breaker.
