Oh, right, and I just realized I might have to replace the keyboard!
The laptop comes with a US keyboard, but I've only ever used the Italian keyboard layout. Now, the lack of accented characters and other diacritics probably won't matter too much, as I'm going to use this for uni and all my courses will be in English.
Still, I'm not sure if I'll ever get used to switching between the two keyboard layouts. We'll see.
