Thank you for the reply.

Couple of other things came to my mind after posting the thread (which was made in a hurry):

Can I have a Swedish/Finnish keyboard layout to the laptop?
If something comes up and I have to send it back for repairs, do I have to pay for the deliveries or can I get a warranty option that would see to the costs?

Thanks again :)

If you are really concerned for shipping a RMA then you may wish to look into ASUS products as well... they offer a "global warranty" which have service centers around the world (and in finland). just a thought. you can read more about the global warranty here
