Please Comfort me and give me wise advice

hey....

Today, i bought a MacBook Pro 13 (NEW ONE) for 1299 dollars, which is about a 700 dollar discount, so i had to take it. 

While i was happy, i just found out, that computer i bought had a Italian Keyboard Layout, Qwerty still but had misplaced ? and / keys also having a more cramped ENTER and SHIFT key. 

do you think i should just throw a fit and resale and buy an US keyboard layout and dish out another 700 bucks? 

or should i stop pissing around and learn Italian? 

or should i just let it go and relearn the mapping? 

 

thanks, 

:(

Ask your mother for a hug, and ask your father to help you sell it...

 

I think that fits the criteria.

 

Seriously though use it if you're happy with it. If you don't like the keyboard layout, then just replace the keyboard.

Oh Lenovo ? you should've at the very least bought a Dell Inspiron for the same price or hell even an Alienware or Razer for a couple hundred more. Apple products aren't that bad but their price for performance is.

The keyboard looks to be  separate to the unibody. Watch a teardown video to be sure but I'm pretty sure you can pop that keyboard out, and replace it with a standard US configuration with a minimum of problems.

you can remap the keyboard to the correct layout in software. that and some stickers would be a cheap fix.

 

if the shift and escape keys are cramped you probably would need to replace the entire unibody to change the keyboard since the keyboard layout is cut out of the aluminum .

Learn the remappings, or see if Apple will work with you on getting it swapped out for one with the US layout.

For 700 off the laptop, that was a deal I wouldn't of passed up either. But I would say just suck it up, is a misplaced ? and / key worth another 700 to get replaced?
