USA MBA for use in UK

[awalis]

Thinking of getting a mba in California soon. I am aware of the sales/vat/import tax situation.
I am interested to know how people have got on with the keyboard differences and other issues.

Thanks.

Keyboard is not a big problem. Either just follow the US format and remember that alt-3 is £ and alt-shift-2 is €. (you can find these using Keyboard Viewer under Language & Text in the Control Panel). Or just reconfigure the keyboard to follow a British layout using the same control panel.

For the power plug, you can easily buy the right cable to fit into the power brick with a UK plug on Ebay or Maplin.

The price difference is worth it. Wish I could buy from the US too.

It's absolutely no problem using an American keyboard.

I had a Japanese MacBook Pro for a while, that certainly made things interesting! All manner of unusually placed buttons on there.

Thanks for the info.

I believe you can order a Canadian keyboard from the Apple Store online. I don't know if it's English or French, or what the differences are since the store's website isn't loading right now.

Update: Actually, here are the keyboard options from the US store (Finally back online):
