English Keyboards in Canada (Not Multi-lingual)

Does anybody know if its possible to get a Samsung laptop that doesn't have the multilingual keyboard in Canada? I'm looking at the 7 series at the moment, but I refuse to adapt to a multilingual keyboard. I guess I could always order one from the states, but Best Buy is selling it for more than $100 more than I can get it for locally. I'd also like the option of returning it easily if I don't like it.

Can someone in Canada that has the NP700Z5A-S01CA post or link to a picture of the keyboard please?

 

I hate multilingual keyboards as well, but this laptop far met my needs over anything else so I gave it a shot. I remapped the key next to the left-hand "shift" key to also be "shift" so it was act as a a normal non-multilingual one and I have adapted pretty well. It's not perfect, but after a few days I was perfectly happy. Other than that, there really isn't much that is too different from the standard keyboards that I usually use. The delete key is in an annoying spot, but I believe that's the same for all Chronos keyboards (I could be wrong though).

 

Do you mind posting a picture of it? I haven't actually seen it.

 

I don't have a camera to take a picture of it myself, but this post on Kijiji has a photo of it that I double-checked and is accurate. Samsung Series 7 Chronos i7 2675QM 8GB 750GB 15.6IN Radeon 6750m (note to mods: I have no connection to this listing and it was the first image of the keyboard I came across - perfectly happy with my Series 7 with no plans to sell it)

*edit* scroll through a couple pictures and there's a direct shot of it.
* edit 2* I did notice a difference between this one and mine, but it's only the F9 and F10 keys don't show the keyboard brightness icons in the image, whereas they are there on mine.

 

awesome. thanks

 

No worries. Really, though, as mentioned before, one of my biggest concerns was the keyboard because I hate Canadian multilingual keyboards, but after remapping that key next to the "shift", it's been a pleasure using the computer. If your only concern is that, then I'd say go for it and if it really is a problem, make sure that there's a return policy from where you buy it and take it back before the return period.

 

Is your keyboard backlit?

 

Sorry for the late reply. I haven't been on the site in a few days. Yes, mine is backlit. There's an FN key to both make the backlit keyboard brighter and dimmer, going all the way down to off.

 

Which model do you have? My friend really wants a backlit model.
