    Hi,

    I'm thinking on buying the xps 15z, seens I'll buy my laptop aboard - the keyboard will not fit to me.. I need a english + hebrew characters at the keyboard.
    The question is it possible to add it? If so do they(the people that will do that) change the bottoms(and then I'll have some generic bottoms? Or just write on it?

    Any information will be great!

    Thanks.

    I suppose you could get a replacement keyboard, but that'll be dependent on whether the 15z is sold in Hebrew-language locales. If so, you may be able to find the keyboard part online and swap it out. I didn't have any luck finding it, though, since the 15z is not a very popular model.
